Project 3 - Kellie

Project 3-1

Project 3-2

What was your favorite feature of Flash presented in this Module? Why?
I enjoyed the text features. You can do some neat things with the 3D aspects.

Describe your experience importing bitmap and Photoshop images. What was your impression of the results of using the trace bitmap feature?
Importing images in Flash was very easy-- not complicated, and quite fast. Although we didn't use it, I also like the fact that importing Photoshop and Illustrator files gives the option of keeping layers separated rather than automatically merging them together.

How will you manage your symbol library in the future?
Folders, folders, and more folders. :) It keeps things nicely organized.

What challenges did your encounter creating and editing symbols?
For whatever reason, whenever I tried to convert my alien into a symbol on this new project, it would switch up the layers of the different body parts and things would awkwardly overlap. This confused me for a good fifteen minutes or so until I realized I needed to group the alien on the original file before moving it over. Oops.

Discuss which filters and blend modes you used in your project.
I mainly changed the tints of my aliens and the color schemes.

How will you use the 3D tools in your future projects?
Not exactly sure yet. However, it's definitely useful to know how to use, and I'm sure I'll use it at some point or another. It has promise of adding certain aesthetic appeal if a project calls for it.
