Lab 7 GIF animation (extra credit)

For this lab, it was my first time working in Adobe flash. We had to create our own animation with shapes. First, we had to make a little dot in the middle of the stage. We then take the selection tool and move the dot to the opposite side of your stage. then we insert a keyframe at frame 25. We click anywhere between the frame time of 1-25 and insert a motion tween. this makes the dot move from the starting point to the other side of the stage. Next, we create a new layer and name it square. As the name implies, we make a square using the rectangle tool. We go to frame 25 and move the square to he opposite side of the screen again. Not only do we do that but we also have to change the squares shape in some way. To do that, you take the subselection too land click the outer part of the square until u see a faint line. You can finally change the shape by dragging those sides. Once thats done we click anywhere between frame 1-25 and insert a shape tween. this is how it came out.

Web Review

Name of person you reviewed:
I reviewed Gladys Guaman’s webpage.

What was the goal of the website?:
The goal of this webpage was to show us her support for the charity Animals Foundation. It focuses on saving abandoned or abused animals.

What design principles and concepts did they use?:
She used a lot of pictures when it came to her work. There are even a couple cute and touching images that she added to her site to make it more impressive. The webpage also has a nice nature-like background. She also had her links going to each part of the webpage.

What design principles and concepts could they have used?
She could have used a bit more background color with her pages. She has the whole website intact but the background is a bit plain. Its just white.

Did all the pages work correctly?:
Yes, each link worked perfectly. I was able to view each part of the website with just a click. Each link led me to where it was supposed to go. One of her links also went to her online portfolio.


Did the web site have “good workflow” (links back and forth, consistency, etc)? How did they accomplish this?
Yes, because each link went to where it was supposed to go. If you clicked the icon with the words “why?” on them, it would go straight to the page where it explained why. The links even go outside her webpage into the official site of the Charity. She accomplished this by creating hotspots and typing in the web address. If the web address was typed correctly, it worked. (in this case, it did)


If not, what could they have done to create a good workflow?



What were the web site strengths?:
Her websites greatest strength was definitely the pictures. The pictures shown are enough let you guess what this website was all about. Her pictures show dogs that are happy, been adopted, or injured. The links were also this website’s strength. They worked very well and correctly.

What were the web site weaknesses?:
Her site’s weakness was the information that was provided. Some of the information she used was a bit little. There wasn’t a lot of things that were written on the site. There was some good information but not as much as there could have been.

Extra point*
I chose to review this website because Glady’s is a good friend of mine and her work is very creative. The thing that drew me in was the animal page she made. I love animals. (especially dogs) This foundation for saving animals caught my interest very quickly.
