Final Project

It's certainly been an interesting ride getting to this point, and now here we are.

My final project is an allegorical text that reveals certain aspects of my life I don't usually speak of openly unless I'm very comfortable with a person. In terms of plot, I'll leave it at that and let the reader explore.

I wanted to create, as best I could with my knowledge of Flash, a feeling of exploration. I thought a theme of ships and seas fit this idea of mine well, along with the inclusion of the monsters the reader encounters on their journey. There might also be some hidden corners for the reader to discover if they should feel inclined to look.

In terms of directions, there are a couple. Since this project is significantly larger than my previous one, i was not able to post it on the site i used last time. Instead, you would have to download one of these flash players (different from the usual one everyone has) Windows or Mac

Then, when the player is open, download my project and open it from within the player.

Once open, just click away. There are no formal guidelines unless a message appears. I hope you all enjoy it!

My files, like images and the sound I used, can be found here

Blog 9

For my final project, I'm going to write an allegory that may take on the form of a fairytale re-interpreted. I want to make a sort of "world" you can explore through interactivity and make it so that different readers have different experiences depending on how they choose too be about the piece.

As of now I plan on attempting to use Adobe Flash but it proves too much of a challenge, I will change to keynote and create interactive slides from there
