Flash can be frustrating and complex to learn so this coming week I’m opening up the doors of my Flash class for a short period of time to anyone interested and we’ve invited two talented students who have completed the Flash course (Interactive Design 1), Marcos Crespo and Jason Ellison to share their process of developing Flash projects from their concept to a functional interactive project. They will give you a behind the scenes look at the making of their Flash projects and give you insight from a student’s perspective on how to create cool interactive projects, including tips for success as well as pointers to avoid common pitfalls.

Who’s this event for? This event is geared towards any graphics student, whether they are currently taking the Flash course (Interactive Design) or expect to take the course soon. If you’ve taken the Flash course in the past you are still welcome to come see another student’s approach to creating interactive projects.

This workshop will be held in bldg 1-214 in the graphics lab on east campus and will begin at 11am on Wednesday, October 25th, 2006. It will last approximately 1-2 hours. Please RSVP by posting a comment to this posting.

What a excellent way for students to mentor each other and learn from other students in later stages of the degree.

I think it is going to be nice for some of the students not to feel that they are alone and that other students had overcome their difficulties with flash. However, I recommend people to read a lot and practice outside of class. It really helps to at least try...

You all are also welcome to join our class project critique which begins at 9am where students will present their intro animation projects. If you are planning on taking the Flash course in the near future you might want to consider attending so you can see example student projects.

These guys were amazing showing us their proyects and their processes. Thank you Amanda for giving us the chance to see a diferent point of view and for giving us the chance to clarify how two different styles can work in the real world. This flash workshop ispired me a lot, and it makes me see how creativity can have a important role even in the technical aspect.
