BFA show

Well, its finally here! My senior BFA showcase is on Friday! What a stress it has been trying to finish my portfolio along with my portfolio site. We have been working really hard to put this whole show together. I hope it will all turn out great. Hope to see you there!

I was one of the lucky few chosen who got to make my poster into a street banner to advertise the show.  Check me out! I'm practically famous!

I also was lucky enough to be chosen to get interviewed by the Herald Journal. They are publishing an article and some of my work in the paper on Friday :)

Flash Game preview

Well, we having been working on a kid's game for our next Flash website assignment. It is a lot harder I think than a normal website. There is so much more interaction you have to program. I chose to do a girly dress-up game, obviously they are my favorite :)  My game still has a few bugs to work out, but until I get those fixed, you can look at some screen shot previews.

Here is a little animation experiment :)

I decided to do a website for a floral design company because 1. I love flowers. and 2. I think it would be so fun to be a florist. Hence, here is my website. Its pretty simple, but I like the way it turned out.

Sneek Peek

Ok, so after spending many a hours in the lab today. I am making progress on my next website! Barely. It takes me so long to do the simplest things. I am in by no means an expert on this stuff. At all.  Here are a few screen shots to see what I'm up to!

It's back to work for me!

Flash Website

So, our final project for graphic interface was to create a simple website using Flash. I'd never used Flash before, so I was a little intimidated. But this class has pretty much all been about doing things I've never done before. So here I went. I decided to do my website about redheads, because obviously, why not. We are a completely unrepresented race. Ok, maybe not a race, but a population let's say.  So, I wanted to do something fun and whimsical to cover this fabulous topic, and I was researching I stumbled upon this holiday card: Loved it! Perfect style I was looking for. Kind of like a classy but fun 50's feel going on.

Next I found a bunch of fun content including crazy facts and myths about redheads, which you might be surprised there are a lot of.  Then it was on to figure out how to include this all into a website. And make it not look to ridiculous. The design is pretty simple, but I like it.  Then onto putting it all into Flash, and making it somehow all link together and do cool movements and stuff. This was where the confusement came. I struggled a bit, but it is done. And turned in. I might go back and fix some things to make it better, but until then, here it is!

Oh, and a link to the real deal website if you wanna take a peak: http://www.fall10.graphicinterfacedesign.com/students/bfrancom/flash/

Animation

Our next project was doing the actual type animation for our movie clip we chose.  Flash is a program I'd never used before, so at first it was proving to be a slow and difficult task. But I got the hang of it by the end i think. Check out my finished animation, let me know what you think!! :)
