Gone in a Flash

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 02:04:06 +0000

Flashing lights, music, images fading in and out, talking heads, spinning logos… How much is too much? Well, I personally think it depends on how well it complements the content, and if the content is of high instructional design quality.

There are 3 categories I am speaking of in this article: animations, transitions, and sound effects. I’ve broken down the examples for each below:

Animations: Moving objects, animated intros, on-click animations with images, animated activities, such as Flash Cards or Jeopardy games.

Transitions: slide/page transitions with effects such as Blinds, Wipe, Fade, etc….

Sound effects: a Whoosh or Chime sound as each slide appears or a sound effect when a text box or image is activated (rolled over or clicked). Oh, and don’t forget music and music stingers.

So how much is too much? Well, I definitely have personal development guidelines on these items. Not only do I keep intros at the beginning only of modules, but I limit animations to approx. every 10 slides. I also limit transitions to a few for every 50-slide module. As far as sound effects, I would never use a sound effect on every slide. I did one time use a whoosh sound for all Knowledge Check activities within the module. There were 10, out of a total of 60 slides.

I do also use sound effects to enhance very specific interactions. For example, when I created an interactivity for the learner to click the power button on an old-style movie projector to display the text on the projector screen, I used a sound effect of an old projector running for about 5 seconds and then faded it out. I like to use Audacity (a free tool) for touching up audio.

Music is great for the intro, and a 6 second stinger is great for transitioning to a new topic. Again, in moderation is the key.

Here is my golden rule for Flash. If it is distracting from the content and I myself am getting agitated during the review and QA stage, it is too much. Flash should enhance the content and not cover it up. Every 10 slides is a good rule of thumb.

When all is said and done, if you are on the client side and not the learner side and are searching for an e-Learning vendor, remember this, Flash is over in the blink of an eye, but content stays forever. You should be paying for quality content that stays with the learner and gives you RESULTS in the end. Until next time…

Recommended for Teens: Alice Programming Video Tutorial

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 17:12:59 +0000

What is Alice Video Tutorial?Alice video tutorials is produced with the aim of helping students to visually learn the process of programming with alice. They learn the basic of Object Oriented Programming at the fastest possible time. Our video tutorial is in High Quality and with Caption, and is supported with Examples from the video tutorial, which makes learning alice easy, step by step and as fast as 24 minutes!VISIT:http://www.aliceprogrammingvideotutorial.com/Alice is not a toy BUT A serious 3D graphics programming environmentAlice is not a toy designed solely to create pretty pictures. Rather, Alice is a full-featured programming language designed for use in teaching programming to beginners on the basis of programming principles that are well recognized within the computer science community.

Alice is a 3d graphics programming environment intended to be a gentle first introduction to students ranging from 6th grade to college, typically students who would not take (or pass!) a programming course.Elimination of frustrationThe Alice project was motivated by the fact that for most first-time students, the experience of learning to program has been filled with frustration. Hours of trying to understand syntax errors in pursuit of a working Fibonacci sequence generation program have lead many students to conclude that Computer Science is uninteresting before they have completed a single course.The goal of AliceThe goal of the Alice project is to change the first experience students have with computer programming. We believe that Alice will change the experience of learning to program in two main ways: removing unnecessary frustration and providing an environment in which beginning students, of both genders, can create programs they find compelling. Drag-and-drop instead of type When students create programs in Alice, they do not type. Instead, they drag and drop words representing commands that objects in the 3D scene understand. Alice is full featuredIn addition to straight-forward commands, students can also drag traditional programming constructs, such as "if," "loop N times," "do while something is true," etc. Students can construct "If" statements by dragging questions like "is the carrot near the rabbit" or "how tall is the tree" into them. Although the terminology is intentionally simplistic, Alice is actually a complete programming environment, supporting arrays, lists, functions with parameters, recursion, and an object-based data model. In addition, methods can be stored as part of an object and then loaded into different 3d "worlds" created with Alice. Alice provides a rudimentary system for writing event-driven programs, making it suitable for writing games and instructional programs for younger children. Why does Alice succeed?Alice succeeds for several fundamental reasons By removing typing and the ability to make a syntax error, Alice removes much of the initial frustration for new programmers, The ideas of data and objects are very concrete when students can *see* what they are, and Almost all changes to the program state are visible and animated, so debugging is a much less obscure task it is much easier to realize that "the rabbit moved backwards when I meant to for it to move forward" than to realize that "I subtracted one from the integer 'x' when I intended to add one" (particularly when 'x' isn't directly visible on the screen). Alice 2.0 is free and practicalThe Alice 2.0 programming environment can be downloaded free of charge from Carnegie Mellon University. Furthermore, it doesn't require a Windows installation. All that is required to run Alice is to:Download the zip file containing the Alice environment.Extract the files and directories from the zip file into a local directory.Double-click on one of the exe files that are extracted from the zip file.Once the zip file is downloaded, further access to the Internet is not required. Many classes for creating 3D objects are stored locally in an area that is called the gallery. However, in order to conserve local disk space, the classes for many other objects are not routinely included in the local class library. Rather, they can be accessed from a web version of the class gallery. Fits on a 256 mbyte USB flash driveThe entire local version of the Alice development environment will fit on a 256 mbyte USB flash drive, and can be executed directly from the flash drive. This makes it possible for students to carry the development kit with them from one computer to another. Improved accessibilityThe use of the drag-and-drop programming paradigm causes Alice to be much more accessible to beginning programming students than languages such as Java, C++, and C# that require extensive keyboard activity for use. A student who can type a few strings with one finger and operate a finger-driven mouse pad can write Alice programs just as rapidly and effectively as a student who can type 60 wpm.Instant Easy Download!VISIT:http://www.aliceprogrammingvideotutorial.com/

Finding the Best Flash Designer’s Guide

Sun, 17 Jan 2010 01:23:58 +0000

Finding the perfect learning tool for Flash is a daunting task to any novice web developer. One can find help in a number of ways through books, friends and private tutors. These methods are great but not often readily available, nor cheap! The best and cheapest way to learn anything from the basics of flash to the secrets of the trade is a Flash Tutorial. Think of the Flash Tutorial as a mini lesson that teaches a specific part of the flash. Flash Tutorials come in many levels of difficulty and quality. Developers don't publish their tutorials according to an established curriculum, they simple publish whatever they please or think will be useful. That makes finding the correct Flash Tutorial difficult. Many times the tutorial is too vague and the information is difficult to understand. Conversely, the concepts could be easy to understand but entirely useless in the real world. If a person will examine the quality of the tutorial before they work through it, they will be able to avoid a lot of unnecessary frustration. When selecting a Flash Tutorial, look for these three criteria: examples, clarity, and usefulness. Examples When looking for a Flash Tutorial, be sure that it has examples to go with it. Examples are actual snippets of code that actually demonstrate the principles taught in the tutorial. If the source code is downloadable as an example file for you to look at and run, that is even better. Look for examples that are easy to follow and demonstrate clearly the principle being taught. There is nothing more frustrating than finding the perfect tutorial and not having the perfect example to work from.Clarity Find Flash Tutorials that are clear and easy to understand. If a flash dictionary is needed, then the tutorial is not worth your time. Tutorials should be written clearly and concisely. It is best when the author has put links to the definition of, or clarifies a difficult word. Generally, it is also helpful when the tutorial has visuals. That being said, not all visuals are effective. The visuals should clarify and not confuse.Usefulness Above all tutorials should be useful. They should teach things that can actually be used. It is great when the tutorial teaches how to effectively use the feature in a real-life situation. A good Flash Tutorial will be adaptable. The user should be able to take the examples and adapt them to their application without having to entirely redo the process. Finally, the tutorial should teach the entire concept. This can be in one lesson or in many lessons, but it should teach everything the user needs to know to implement that concept. When looking for tutorials remember that it must have example, it must be clear and it must be useful. If you're a basic user start searching for "Basic Flash Tutorials". As you get more advanced, search for specific topics such as character creation or Flash shape tweening. Remember, the first tutorial that comes up on the search isn't always the best. They have to be sifted through until the really good ones are found.

How to Choose a Graphic Design Program

Fri, 08 Jan 2010 10:04:22 +0000

Choosing the right graphic design program can be more complicated -- sometimes more complicated than creating the actual designs. However, rummaging through the many design software titles is necessary for professionals.
This article is a start to help you to decide. I have provided a brief list of the top design programs, both for graphic design and website design.
1) Adobe Photoshop: This is one of the best professional photo design software programs on the market. Its main function is photo manipulation, which is the process of using technical and artistic processes to alter an image.
Artistic applications within Photoshop include painting, drawing, touch-up, designing and adding text, and more. You can also edit more than one photo at once using this design software.
For example, Photoshop users can cut parts of photos together and slice and layer them to create a logo or greeting card design. Users can use this program to create website design images; it is also used for creating video effects to use in story line productions (i.e. making movies).
Adobe Photoshop is more advanced. I recommend Adobe Photoshop for the serious user, as it is also quite an investment. Before purchasing, I recommend you download a free trial of Photoshop if it is available.
Professional designers prefer Adobe Photoshop because of the following features:
Recording custom image actions for batch processing
Color balance and color match
Three different masking modes-masked, comps, and quick.
Smart objects and smart guides
Advanced fine tuning and control
CMYK and LAB color modes
Automated perspective adjustment settings
Advanced Animation Manipulation
Flawless photo layering
Don't let the advanced features overwhelm you at first. To understand why you need Adobe to be a pro designer you can research free tutorials online.
2) Adobe Illustrator: Use this software to create original designs. These designs are often combined with images to create a new masterpiece. However, this program is also useful as a standalone drawing product.
Features of the latest version of Illustrator include outputting different document sizes, speedy scroll and zoom, customized work tools and libraries, anchor tools, and multiple cropping.
In addition, Adobe Illustrator integrates with Flash, and offers mobile device previews. Illustrator helps you to create professional-grade graphics compositions. (If you have ever wondered why your graphics do not come out as professional as professional television commercials, this would be the one product for you.)
3) Adobe Flash (Formerly Macromedia Flash): This software is for creating animation and interactive content for websites.
You can use Flash to create other forms of media as well. Flash works with Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop and also converts animation files to the recommended AS3 format.
Furthermore, Adobe Flash comes with custom import tools and you can create instant code for your websites. Moreover, Adobe Flash utilizes Action Script 3.0, exports Flash files into QuickTime format, and helps you create mobile content. Additionally, you have the power over how your video will appear online.
4) Corel Photo-Paint: This is an advanced photo editing program with similar functions as Adobe Photoshop. Users can use this program's touch-up features, live text formatting tools, online font identification/collaboration tools, and extensive file import formatting (RAW format supports over 300 types of cameras).
Corel Photo-Paint also has additional features such as interactive table layout tools, thousands of clip art designs, and precise curves adjustment. This one seems even more advanced than Adobe Photoshop and novices like using it as a steppingstone to learn Photoshop.
Corel does provide over two hours worth of video training for this product. In addition it provides a very thick user guide, and it is possible to receive free lessons for this product online. The best way to learn what this product can do versus free amateur ones would be to test it out.
5) Photoshop Elements: This is another photo design program that users say has at least 99% of the functionality of Adobe Photoshop at a fraction of the price. You may want to find out of that is true for yourself. You can download a free trial of this software as well as a free trial of Photoshop and compare the two. You can also read further reviews online.
6) Corel Draw: This program is used in similar ways as Adobe Illustrator, and it offers both basic and advanced drawing and editing tools. Corel Draw allows you to custom edit shadows, improve the color of your photos, and design your own picture frame.

How to Snag a Job in the Graphic Design Industry

Fri, 01 Jan 2010 20:22:39 +0000

Finding a job in the graphic design industry can be challenging, because this industry is competitive. However, the job outlook for graphic design is above average, and the demand for graphic design services is in high demand.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor website, the number of people employed in the graphics industry will increase by 10 percent between 2009 and 2016. The persons who gain experience in website design and Flash animation are likely to gain the most experience in this field.
If website design and Flash animation interest you, then you need to update your technological knowledge in one or more of the following areas: Adobe Flash software, along with HTML, CSS, and other website programming languages. Learning Photoshop and Illustrator are helpful as well.
In addition to learning the above-mentioned design software, you need to enhance your skills and experience as a graphic designer. For example, you may want to learn how to design a variety of different multimedia projects, such as video tutorials, cartoon episodes, or advertising banners.
You can find many opportunities to learn how to create a different multimedia projects. Your experience in multimedia design will include a combination of on-the-job training and formal classroom training.
Your formal education might involve taking classes in professional photography, drawing, or painting. On-the-job training opportunities may require you to find entry-level positions working at a small print shop.
An additional option to gain experience in graphic design is to create a portfolio of completed graphic design samples. You can include samples of projects that you completed for a class or internship, or even from a small volunteer job.
Posting your own finished designs (even if you had designed them for free) can help you acquire freelance design jobs, even if you are still in college. This will give you a head start in the graphics industry once you graduate.
Once you have finished your schooling, more opportunities will be open to you, but you will need to know how to find them. If you want to find a full-time graphic design job, then you can search online at national and local job sites.
You also may want to search for opportunities in your neighborhood or city. Each locality usually has its own government job agency, and most of them offer job search resources, free of charge to applicants.
If you are located in a place where graphics design skills are not in high demand, then you might consider freelancing. As a freelance designer you can receive jobs from all over the world. It will increase your opportunity to earn money doing what you love to do, and you will not need to travel. Your assignments will be sent back and forth via e-mail.
If you have not yet found the design job of your dreams, just remember that you need patience and persistence. Most designers start in low-paying positions and then will work for a few years before obtaining higher-paying positions.
While you wait for that huge job offer in this field, you can expect to find entry-level design jobs which pay a salary of $20,000 to $30,000 a year (or sometimes less if you work only part-time). As you gain more experience, you will then start to earn up to $60,000 or more.
If you work in commercial advertising for a large company, you may earn a higher salary. However, you may need to take additional classes if you expect to earn as much money as the average.
Besides experience as a web designer, graphic designers become most successful if they also have excellent communication skills. Moreover, it help if you are also familiar with various types of design and publishing software.
If you have been working as a pro designer for several years now, you might want to update your education. Taking new classes related to the newest design technology and software will help you land different clients and help you gain new experiences.
