12-9 IMD II - Soundarific

I should be back tomorrow, so today is your last chance to work on ires this week. Make sure you have your sounds from yesterday ready to go so i can give you a big A in the grade book for your hard work.

Post to your blog with updates on what you've been working on.

12-9 IMD I - Shape tween

Looks like a most people have finished Cloth Boutique in the blog, nice job!

I'd like you to try a new technique today- SHAPE TWEENING! It's very similar to motion tweening but it morphs shapes from one key frame to the next.

The rules are a little different, but still very similar to a motion tween.

Read the following tutorials and try it on your own. You will need to answer the questions below and create the tweens and post them on your blog to get credit for your work today.

Questions from what you've read:

1. Do you need to convert object to symbols before shape tweening?

2. Can you shape tween multiple objects on the same layer?

3. What color is a correct shape tween?

4. How do you shape tween text?

On your own:

morph a circle to a box

Create a "blooming flower" shape tween

Post the answers to the questions and screen caps of your motion tweening on your blog.


Have extra time? Try the feeling advanced activity below or start creating sketches of your portfolio website that we'll be starting next.

Feeling advanced?

try using a shape tween and motion tween in the same document to create an interesting effect like the pencil in the tutorial below.
