Project 3: Animated Dingbats


1. Create a library of 15 animated dingbats.
2. Due Tuesday, January 25.
3. Post your progress as you go! Here is the code to embed a .swf file in blogger

<object height="320" width="350"> <param value="yourfilename.swf" name="movie">
<embed src="http://yourfileurl.com/yourfilename.swf" height="320" width="350"></embed></object>

In order for the above code to work, you will need to upload your .swf files to a location capable of serving a link to the .swf. You can do this with your SOU account using CyberDuck. See the FAQ folder on the projects drive (or download it here!) for detailed steps on how to do this.

Here are the demo videos to take you through the process of creating animated symbols:



REFLECTIVE ESSAY
Write about three satisfying "interactive" experiences you've had in life. Think about sight, smell, sound, taste, atmosphere, color, texture, drama, sensation, emotion, physicality, sensuousness and all that good stuff. The experiences you describe can come from real life, a video game, a toy, a place, anything. Consider how the experience came together in your mind and why it endures for you. How might you use this experience in your design of interactive media? How much of the experience was conscious, how much subconscious? How do your experiences differ? Do some senses operate at a more animal, instinctive level?
