For our COMM 361 project, my group has decided to create a comprehensive and interactive guide to dining at Mason. Our loftiest goal is to create an interactive campus map with clickable links through to the different dining locations, filled with information and videos.
After talking to several people well versed in computers, we decided that Adobe Flash was one of our options for creating this interactive map. Dani Roussey and I attended the Star Lab flash workshop on March 2 to try and get a grasp on what our capabilities were for the program.
We were the only two people registered for the class, and the instructor told us that we were the first to sign up in nearly four months. We realized pretty quickly that Flash was not going to be the best option for our project since Apple does not support Flash.
Even though we weren’t going to use Flash for our project, we stuck it out for the class. After going over the basic interface, we tried to make a realistic looking coffee cup. Emphasis on the word tried. The poor instructor had to constantly back track, and Dani and I were in a fit of giggles over her green misshapen cup of coffee.
Though the class won’t be beneficial to me for my project, I’m glad I had a chance to sit down and work with Flash. All Adobe interfaces are similar, and the more comfortable I am working with them the better.
