DESIGN & TECHNOLOGY STAGE 1 CSC 2011

Fireworks Banner/Logo

Skills and applications task Weighting 10%

Students are required to collect and manipulate images for the banner we are incorporating into a website.

This will be preceded by formative tasks where students are introduced to the Adobe Fireworks software and given formative tasks to learn the essentials of the program. Students will also be given formative direction in design essentials.

Students will also hand in a 200 word report on the design & creation process.
All work must be saved in digital format in their Design & Tech S1 Folder. This folder will later be copied into the Student Public Drive for the teacher to review. The copied folder must be named “Student Name D&T App Task”

The folder should already contain the student’s Flash file and exported .swf file.

In Fireworks the saved work will be in .png format.

The final stage will be combining the Flash banner with the images created for it in Fireworks.

This final file will be saved in .fla format and exported as a .swf
