For next week

Just to clarify....

For next week, your resume PDF/Layout is due. NOT your printouts...just the layout you've designed in InDesign. We'll review them and make sure you're in good shape for having printouts the following week. We'll also be watching a movie as I sync up with everyone on their beautiful designs.

Have a good long weekend.

Button Example Files

Someone mentioned that the button example file opened a blank document. Not sure exactly what blank means but just in case something is corrupt, I'm uploading a .zip file which contains both a CS4 and CS5 version of the button example.

Let me know if there are any issues.

Resume Lecture/Assignments due next week/Flash Button Example

Hey there.

As discussed during class, I didn't want to overload you with the entire pimp'n and Primp'n lecture. I wanted to share some outstanding resume formats and materials so you're hopefully inspired for the upcoming assignment.

Here's what's due for Thursday - 4.12.12

1. You Flash assignment. Refer back to the previous posting for requirements if you're unsure.

I didn't forget about posting how to make a fade in/fade out button...I've just been trying to create one that was simple enough...that never happened....to do this type of button requires some action script. This is why I'm always a bit hesitant to show advanced features...because they bog you down with debugging.

With that said, I'm attaching a sample button file that's easy enough to follow for your own buttons. Just copy and paste the action script.

Here's the Fla file.

2. Based on some of the resume designs presented, have a rough sketch or two for your resume layout. Think both content and grid.

3. Bring in some proposed materials for your resume. This could be hardware such as rivets or clips as well as paper, stamps, etc. DO NOT COME TO CLASS EMPTY HANDED.

Here's some links to places you can visit and explore:

1. Rugg Road paper

2. PaperSource

3. Black Ink

4. Blick

5. Staples

6. Bob Slate

Here's some additional links for portfolio cases, books, etc.

Lastly, here's a really cool resume builder that reads your Facebook or LinkedIn account and creates an information diagram based on your experience...

ResumUP

Be there or be square.

Just to double clarify.

For the 5 Flash examples:

You're to find them, then create/setup a simple blog page such as blogger or Wordpress or whatever you prefer....they're free and list each example along with a blurb as to what's good about it. I'll want the links to be emailed to me but first, we'll also review a few of them in class.

Thx
