3/4 IMD I

Good Morning

I have posts from the following students:

Barnett – The design work looks good, start thinking about how you’re going to animate and make your crazy world come alive.

Blakey – Review your tween rules, get some help from the class. Is R2 a bitmap? That’s bad for a preloader.

Boyd – If your stuck on the preloader work on another aspect of your project, I will do a review when I’m back.

Brown – This is going to make a great preloader! I can hear carnival music just looking at it.

Daniels – Icons look good, the painting is very … interesting… lol

Deluca – Great design! But it looks like a bitmap…..can’t do that for a preloader

Evanoff – Glad your back! Thanks for the nice comment, I really miss class. I hope to be back soon. Make sure to post an image so I can see your work.

Hutt – You design looks very relaxing, good work.

Lenox – Words make picture better argh… Text would be nice! Very solid work on the lockers. I think the guitar need to be scaled up a little.

Logan – I’m very impressed, the jacket looks amazing keep up the great work!

O'Connor – Review your design notes, that should give you direction. The design looks good I just want to make sure its going to be used!

Rigsbee – I need more detail! It looks like 6 boxes in the blog post!

Sciotto – Tinkerbell is looking good the soft green and blue work well! The empty eyes is just a little creepy, I hope their done soon.

Stokes – Great descriptive post, well done. Layout looks good, I doesn't really come alive until you add the layers of gack, grunge,. …distress. Your tree banner is also very cool!

Since we haven’t used the blog much recently I’m going to be a little flexible for those who posted yesterday. For future posts I’ll need to see more information. One and two sentence responses are not enough. Here is a excellent example: http://schlosser-imd2.blogspot.com/

You have short rotation today you have two things you need to work on:

1. review preloaders with layer masks, I will give a quiz when I get back covering this material, I will do a review but it will be short. It’s your responsibility to get this information down and be able to create a regular and masked preloaded with only your notes and the block of preloader code.

2. Work on your portfolio and make a post on your blog - more detail please! If you posted to a blog that’s different than the address I have, you’ll need to leave a comment on this post to let me know the new address. If you posted and I didn’t give you credit I need your address. WE WILL BE USING A BLOG IN THIS CLASS UNTIL YOU GRADUATE, YOU BETTER GET USED TO USING IT. Forgetting a password every six weeks is unacceptable, you will need this skill in college and in the real world, figure out a way to retain this information.

Ok… my rant is over, have a good day.
