Homework 2

COAP 2110 - Fall 1 2007 - Week 3

Assignment

Think about a simple shape animation that you would like to create, e.g. something that could evolve into a comic strip, a splash page, a moving logo, an explanatory animation, etc. Then create a Flash file that includes:

• At least a shape tween

Reuse of homework 1

• If you wish you can build the shape tween on top of your homework 1 (in any way you like). But this is by no means an obligation nor does it have an influence on grading.

Submission date and format

• To be returned by Monday, at start of week 3 lesson
• Use the following Flash file name p1-familyname-firstname.fla, e.g.

p2-miller-joe.fla

... I must be able to distinguish these files and we want to avoid overwriting.

Just bring the *.fla to class. I will tell you where to transfer it.

Other constraints

• Reuse of objects: 1/3 must be drawn by yourself, max. 1/3 imported but customized, max. 1/3 imported as is. (So you also can do everything by yourself).
• The shape tween must be made by yourself.
• You must fill in a document description using a template (see below)
• Homework projects are individual. If you work with others, make sure that the individual projects differ, i.e. the "reuse of objects" criteria above apply.

Evaluation criteria

• Does the animation fit the purpose ? / ergonomics
• Aesthetic quality of the animation
• Quality of the document description
• Complexity. However there will be a threshold, make it rather simple and perfect than difficult and complicated
• Absence of errors

Grading

• I will use a simple 1-4 point grading scale and add/remove points according to evaluation criteria
• Late homework policy: See the syllabus

The document description

Your p2-xxx-xxx.fla file must include a document description.

• Insert it with menu Modify->Document
• Enter a title and description
• See [[Help:COAP-2110/hw2 homework 1] for the template to use
