Learn Flash in a Day! Flash Tour this Summer

Intersted in learning all you need to know about Flash to create your own dynamic content – in on day?  Join me this summer in a city near you to learn all you need to know to be dangerous.  And the great thing is, no former knowledge is required!  Now it would help if you’re familiar with other Adobe programs such as Photoshop or InDesign, but if you’re a graphic designer, photographer, or someone totally new to graphics you’ll definitly be able to get up and running if you attend!

Come join me in one of the following locations this summer:

• St. Louis, June 16th
• Boston, June 23rd
• New York City, June 25th
• Chicago, June 30th

Here are the sessions at-a-glance, or go to Mogo Media for more information:

• Getting to Know Flash (10:00–11:00) Get up and running by learning the Flash interface and then creating your first document.  From there you’ll create your first flash drawing using tools familiar to most designers, thus creating your first Flash file!
• Creating Symbols & Importing Graphics (11:15–12:15) Symbols are the building blocks of Flash ,and in this session you’ll build a strong foundation using movie clips, buttons and graphic symbols.  Want to leverage artwork created in other programs?  Learn how to easily import artwork and convert to the symbol of your choice at the same time!
• Creating Animations (1:15–2:30) Using your foundation of knowledge, you’ll dive into Flash’s ample ‘cool’ factor where you’ll build animations that include motion and shape tweens.  Want â€Ŕout of the box” animation?  Learn how to use Motion Presets to get your graphics moving in no time at all.
• Introduction to Interactivity (2:45–3:45) In this session we’ll â€Ŕopen the hood” of Flash and really get graphics to do what we want them to do with interactivity.  Whether it’s controlling an animation or jumping to another web site you’ll learn the fundamentals of programming in ActionScript 3, without scaring the living daylights of you!
• Bringing InDesign and Illustrator Files to Life (4:00-5:00) In this final session you’ll go beyond Flash by using other programs such as InDesign and Illustrator to create Flash content.  You’ll learn how to take a file created for print and bring it right into Flash with full creative control.  Do you have content made in Illustrator as well?  Bringing graphics in from Illustrator is as simple as a copy and paste.  Leveraging all your skills you’ve learned in Flash you’re sure to make your already created designs interactive and animated!
