Leo's Project 3

What was your favorite feature of Flash presented in this Module? Why?

The ability to control the layers of artwork from other programs was great. It really gives the feeling of control over the individual aspects of the artwork.

Describe your experience importing bitmap and Photoshop images. What was your impression of the results of using the trace bitmap feature?

I import images back and forth for Photoshop and illustrator all the time. I rarely used the convert to features as they had never seemed great to me, but this version is a great improvement.

After seeing how to create layers for your timeline, please discuss how you manage your layers panel in future projects.

Using lots of folders to separate all my elements to keep them straight and easily edited.

Please discuss how you will manage your library assets in future projects.

This is still a little confusing but it’s starting to make more sense. I have to be certain which I’m working on, either the library object or the object as it exists on a timeline.

What challenges did your encounter creating and editing symbols?

Mostly just as above, in recognizing whether I’m working on the object or timeline.

Discuss which filters and blend modes you used in your project.

Alpha and drop-shadow of course. You always need that for text.

How will you use the 3D tools in your future projects?

I really only understand their use for text at this point, I really need to see how they’ll be used for other things later in the modules.
