Final simple food co pics, and flash

I got my Design4Design work back, i managed to get 83 on it, so im pretty pleased with that. As promised here are some (poor quality) photographs.







This week I got my flash animation finished. Really enjoyed working with flash and can't wait till the sign-up flash sessions so I can learn how to use interactivity.




They are supposed to show that small things can be scary to. I just tried to have a bit of fun with them. The sound isn't amazing, most are done by me using my iMac microphone. Hopefully they play alright because I had a few problems uploading them.

Flash, school discos and Karl Marx

I have been learning to use Flash for out new brief. I need to show microphobia (the fear of small things/microns) using the number two. I think that i will start with a small number two that will get bigger when a magnifying glass moves over it and will growl/roar. Here is a few initial animations of the number turning round and roaring:








I have also just designed a quick poster for the graphics and digital media party.

The first one i did was this




I think it has potential, but as it is I don't really like it. I decided to take a different approach and do something similar to my simple food stuff.




I did my presentation about Commodity Fetish last week. I was the first person, but I feel that it went pretty good. If you want to read it click below. The first version I did was nearly twice as long as it should have been, meaning that i didn't really get to cover as much as i would have liked, so i have posted that too.

Animation

I've been looking around the internet for some interesting animations (both Flash and otherwise).

Heres a few of my favorities:


Ugly Duckling - The Drive Thru



Wierd Al Yanovic - Hardware Store (in lego!)

AtomFilms.com: Funny Videos | Funny Cartoons | Comedy Central

Peter Lacalamita - The Red Kite



I'm not sure what this is called, but its amazing... (I could make a joke about how using Flash is like a battle, or something funny like that, but I won't)

And I found a game based on it

AtomFilms.com: Funny Videos | Funny Cartoons | Comedy Central
