Create an interactive Flash Animation as:
A) a portrait
B) a poem
C) a Public Service Announcement

The Flash file must include:
-at least 3 different “scenes”
-at least 2 interactive buttons
-audio (aiff or wav files)
-movement through motion tweening
-at least 1 movie clip

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Things to consider for an interactive, non-linear work:
Think about your viewer and the interaction you are creating for them as they navigate through your piece. How can you use a non-linear pathway to better communicate your ideas? How can a fragmented series of “scenes” add up to and create a meaningful experience?

Think about the overall clarity of the interface. Is it clear to a newcomer what to do, what buttons to push, or where to start? What is your interface based on? Physical space? mental space? a real device? (such as a tape deck, etc) a game?

Does your piece have an end? or does it loop indefinitely and have many different variations?
