Demo

to start with I opened a new document which is the right size for the i phone. I then opened Photoshop and opened a new picture of water lilies. I moved the rulers of the picture to the right size so it would fit the i phone size in flash. the size for this was 320 by 480. I the saved this picture and opened it as the first frame of layer 1 in flash. I then made this layer 50 frames long. After this I created a new layer and made a perfect circle shape by using the oval tool and holding down shift as I created the shape. I then filled this shape yellow.

The second part to this demo was to create a new key frame. To do this i would use the F6 button on the frame that I would want that part of the animation to stop. I done this four more times and each time moved the ball into a new position. In between each of these key frames I used a classic tween by right clicking in the middle of each keyframe and selecting classic tween. the classic tween basically filled in the gaps of where I moved the ball on each keyframe to make the animation move a lot smoother.

After this I then went into the ball shape and added an outline of a cartoon eye. I then added a pupil and on up until frame 5 and then made it disappear on frame 6then reappear on frame 7 up until frame 10. Playing the animation through it looks like that the eye is blinking .

Research of Interactive Comics & Books

the first interactive comic i read was Hotel. Hotel is a very dull coloured comic and didn't interest me much. Also i found this comic very confusing and random which did confuse me so I ended up finding a new comic.


the second comic i researched was a comic called Dead On Arrival. It was better than the Hotel comic as it had a better story and was not confusing and easy to use.
