Create a Flash personal portfilio. This personal portfolio will be a work in progress and be a way for you to show off you work you have already done (either here at Platt and/or work outside of Platt) to perspective employees.

Requirements:

-Intro animation (can be very small and simple)

-Full interface design with at leat 4 buttons

-Ideas for buttons could be:

*Home

*Resume

*Portfolio

*Contact

-20 FPS

-Flash 8 player compatible, Action Script 1

-Stage size is up to your design, but I would not go any bigger then 760 wide and 475 high

*You must upload your project to your own site (or the one given to you)

* You may include sound or video or both if you desire but not required.

Keep in mind that this is a work in progress and something you should be working on for entire stay at Platt (if not longer). Keep it simple; the main focus of this project is on your use of flash, not the graphics. You can always clean up your graphics later. I know that you are all capable of good graphics (given enough time), it’s most important for this project to make sure you know how to utilize Flash.

As always, if you get your project in on time, you can always resubmit it later for an improved grade.
