First Year Projects

Here are some projects I did in my first year in the Multimedia Design and Production Technician program which is based on the Interactive Media and the Internet of today. Majority of them were created using Adobe Flash CS4. I also use Adobe programs such as, Adobe Photoshop CS4, Adobe Dreamweaver CS4, Adobe Illustrator CS4 and Adobe Fireworks CS4. Just getting into Adobe CS5 which was just released in April 2010. I don't have any of my website projects using Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 because I feel I don't have a good project in it that I want to share yet. One day I will though but not from first year.  This will give people an idea what I do in this program.

This project was done in Adobe Flash CS4. We had to pick either an artist or photographer and create a Flash Photo Site based on them and their work. This was done on a friend of mine who started off photography as a hobby and now is enrolled in a Photography course. I would like this project to be better then it is but the time I had to work on it I was not able to complete everything I wanted.

This project was also done in Adobe Flash CS4. We had to pick either an Album Cover, DVD Cover or Game Cover and make it interactive. I choose the Mario Party 8 for the Wii because I enjoy playing the game but also because the characters are well known and it has many soundtracks to use for the sound. Again I would of liked to added a lot more interactive things to this project but this is what I have. This has sound.

This project was also done in Flash CS4. We had to a Digital Video Clock by filming images or objects that have the number 0 to 9 and it was to give you the time that was on your computer of the hours, minutes and seconds. Using Adobe Illustrator CS4 I took famous paintings and did a clip mask to have the painting inserted in the text number. So when you are viewing it look closely for the famous paintings and see if you recognize most of them.

This project also was done in Flash Adobe CS4 but also used Adobe Photoshop CS4. We had to take this Trunk Monkey Commercial Video and encode it to work in Flash. We also had to design a way to present it. I put the video in an image of a TV and had other images surrounding it to make it like an advertisement but on the Internet. Make sure to watch the actual commercial because it will make you laugh. This has sound.

This project was done in Flash Adobe CS4 but also used Adobe Photoshop CS4. We had to encode a video and make a frame for it in Flash and a video controller for it. Mine is a Lego Matrix video and the video controller isn't working perfectly but it was the best I could do. This has sound.

This project isn't one of my bests for the design but it was done in Adobe Flash CS4 and I also used Adobe Photoshop CS4. We had to pick a place that people travel to and make a mini Flash website for the information of the place. I picked London England not only because it is one of my favorite cities I have traveled to but people do like to travel to England who like history.

This project was the first step to the final project. I used Adobe Fireworks CS4 and Adobe Photoshop CS4 to create these designs.We had to brainstorm a design for a restaurant called Saffron and create a Flash website on the design chosen. All three of my designs are different and have no similarity. The first one is for a classy and professional luxurious restaurant. The second one is for a modern restaurant even though majority of people's opinions were it looked like a design for a Chinese restaurant. The third design is for the young generation bringing more entertainment to the restaurant. The first one is the one that I ended up doing for the final project. Majority of people gravitated towards it more. My favorite part of the first design is the Logo.

 

These two designs were only a small part of the Sketchbook Project. I used  Adobe Illustrator CS4 for this project. This part of the project we had to do some of our own Sketches for the Media. The Roxy Effect is similar to the Clothing Brand Roxy but it's suppose to be like the next generation of it. I drew the heart on myself and using the programs font for the text. The Pink Floyd design could be a design for a new album for the band. In class we were learning Illustrator and I randomly designed the traingle and thought it could be used for this. I picked Pink Floyd because the use triangles in most of there album covers or posters. For example the Dark Side of the Moon.
