Final Project

We finished the colouring book page. At first when it was completed it didnt work, so I had to make some changes and then it did. We added the text of the poem to the page and then we tried to put all the pages together in Flash. This took us most of the day because as soon as we put all the pages toegther they didnt work, pages were interlinking confusingly with each other and some of the buttons did not work but in the end we got it to work by changing the names of buttons, movie clips, pictures and graphics that were not named before and it began to work. We then put them on a CD re-writable, ready to be handed in.

Completion of a page

We completed our hide and seek page which has a mini game on it including the mask skill. We decided to do this so users could interact with the mouse allowing them to experience around a page. Buttons are also on the page allowing users to move to different links. Also we have nearly completed the colouring book page we just need to add in the codes required to make it work.

project development

today we decided to have the same font for the "childhood" is buttons on each page. this was becaus we thought it would create continuity for the project since each page is so individual. also we changed some of the backgrounds so they were the same as the main oage but lowered the alpha sp they were a bit more faded. this was aloso to create continuity.

Project Development

We began finalising the menu page, referring to earlier plans about page linkages and creating the appropriate buttons.
We also re-designed the 'MINE' page, including invisible button links to other pages, and found tutorials to develop the page featuring interactive stackable blocks for a tower.

Preparation for Presentation

We met and discussed the different answers required from us in accordance of the presentation guidelines. We combined our pages together on USB memory sticks so where ever we are we can work on our projects with each other or not. We made changes to our 'sleep page' and reviewed the pages we will be showing in our presentation.

Project Development

we worked on page 8, the "sleep" page. at first we are "Z" 's as buttons with sky pictures in them. there was also a picture of a sleeping child on it. but we decided that this layout was not good enough and changed the page so it had a night sky and a moon instead. we kept the idea of the Z buttons but instead filled them in with the night sky but gave them an outline so they would stand out. we created the buttons in photoshop, saved them as a gif then imported them into flash. so that the buttons would flash, fade in and out, when you roll over them we made them into movies clips and then a button so it would work. these buttons will also have sound on them
we also worked on the "friendship"page. we gave the pictures frames on photoshop and then put them into flash to create a collage. we also discussed the idea of having a child voice on each page reading the relevant part of the poem for each page.

Project Development

Today we worked on the Mine page which involved using photoshop to magnet lasso around letters, cropping pictures and cutting out certain selections and moving them onto transparent backgrounds. Then they were imported into Flash and placed on keyframes on different points of the page with motion tween attached to them. On another stage of the piece they are converted into buttons. Also a background was created from photoshop and installed onto it.
