stick death!

this weeks lecture was about multimedia design techniques. in the lecture we learned about various techniques you can use to create a multimedia project. we were told about the need to consider the user of the project and not to please your own tastes. we were made aware that certain colour schemes would be hard for certain people to see and were shown first hand how frustrating it is if a flash presentation has over the top navigation. if the navigation is too complicated most users will "switch off" or just give up on the page all together. however we were also showen a very creative flash movie based in the flash2004 program. i stick man is drawn on the screen and is then a target of attacks by various features of the program!the stick man defends himself and it turns into an out and out war with the cursor towards the end of the movie. this video was hilarious, even better than wedding crashers. it was soo impressive because it was a simple idea executed soo well.i was glad that this was an interesting lecture because i was fit to drop after the 5 hours of lectures i had in the day!i have found a good use of flash in a commercial myspace profile for the rap group g-unit. it is a menu at the top of the page, made in flash, to redirect you to the G-unit artists profile you are looking for. the page can be found at http://www.myspace.com/gunit
