8. Examples to get you motivated Who in the J-World is using it? "[Flash] allows us to put together audio, video, still pictures and text in a single format and put it out as an executable file. There’s not much else that really allows us to do that across platforms,” said Jim Ray, a multimedia producer on the broadband team at MSNBC.com. “It provides a way to distribute a variety of media without having to download different programs. It’s the only program that can do it all,” said Jen Friedberg, a staff photographer at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “For producing graphics online, it’s the tool of choice,” said Juan Thomassie, a senior designer at USAToday.com.

32. How do I use it? 1) Master the pen tool: Click once where you want the line to start, then where you want it to end. As you make anchors, the pen tool stays active until you close the path. If it isn’t closed, you can add points anywhere by clicking. Monday, November 15, 2010

34. Pros and Cons Monday, November 15, 2010

36. Pros and Cons Pros: 1.! Advanced vector art means you lose less of the quality no matter how big the art gets or how small. 2.! Gradients and tools have come a long way. 3.! Using color and trace illustration is easier with Illustrator for going from print to web. 4.! Compatible with other Adobe software. 5.! There is a cheaper student version. 6.! Clean interface that’s very similar to that of Photoshop or Flash. 7.! Newer versions use less RAM. 8.! The "scalability" of the art. 9.! It makes relatively small files. You can make them smaller to preserve the crispness, more so than in Photoshop. Monday, November 15, 2010

You can make them smaller to preserve the crispness, more so than in Photoshop. Cons: 1.! You have to think like a vector artist to work in illustrator. 2.! Transparency can be complicated if you don't practice. 3.! Most people don't get past the stroke & fill aspect of illustrator. 4.! Has a steep learning curve, as with most vector drawing programs. 5.! It also gives an image with a crisp, clean "vector" look to it, which some people dislike. 6.! Illustrator’s anti-aliasing of text looks better than Photoshop’s. The downside is that Illustrator can’t do mouse-overs for slices. 7.! Illustrator has another annoying feature slash bug that every beginner must stumble over. The page looks great in pixel preview but when using Save For Web, the text anti-aliasing looks very bad. If you apply the Rasterize filter with anti-aliasing set to “Hinted” to a text- object, the generated GIFs will match the pixel-preview. Monday, November 15, 2010

71. How do I use it? 1) Generally, you set your object or content on each frame so it creates an animation. 2) The “playhead” of the timeline allows you to view your content and the correlating frame. 3) And you can personalize the way you view the frames. The frame view button allow you to change the way your frames are displayed. 4) When working with frames, you click on the tiny white boxes of the frames and right click to insert your content.

74. Pros and Cons Pros: 1.! Cross-platform compatibility: Flash is supported on roughly 95% of Web browsers. 2. Flash was originally an animation tool, and it can enhance the experience of animations, transitions and music. 3. It has become the “de facto way” to show videos (YouTube, Vimeo) because of its compressing and packaging abilities. Unlike QuickTime and MediaPlayer, Flash movies don’t require an OS-dependent plugin. 4. Vector graphics look smoother and more attractive. Monday, November 15, 2010
