Multimedia
The project was to design a multimedia/animation presentation. The piece was created in Astound, including voiceovers for each slide, original illustrations, art direction, and detailed animations.I developed a storyboard and script prior to creating it in Astound. The purpose of this piece was to explain a few basic functions of Photoshop.
These software programs were used for the production of this piece:
◼ Adobe Creative Suite and Astound
