Working with photoshop and flash

During my coop I was offered the opportunity by DR.Luigina Ciolfi (work colleague) to be involved in preparing a piece which was going to represent the Interaction Design Centre in an art exhibition in Cork “Boundary Work I”

I had to create a poster. I designed the poster using text which DR.Luigina Ciolfi had sent me and I also added images which I received from Anders Sigfridsson(work colleague), I created the layout and design of the poster with James(work colleague).



After creating the poster, I had to put two flash files together. This was a tough task for me as I had no previous experience with flash. However, I looked at this as an opportunity to gain new knowledge and saw this as a new learning experience. I began researching about flash and I started watching video tutorials online about flash.

I read more about flash online and tried doing a few exercises from the tutorials to practice some flash. After quite a few days I had learned the basics of flash which was a great help. I started putting the two flash files together, however I had great difficulties with it as I found the action script coding tough to understand and write. I slowly put the flash files together little by little, piece by piece and it all started coming together. I found working with flash the most difficult task during the work placement however, it was a great learning experience. It gave me an opportunity to learn how flash works, it was a program which I had never used before. So by the end of this task I had learnt how to use the basics of a new program.
