On Wednesday, March 23, 2022 we were instructed to pretend that we were hired to create an animated introduction for a shopping mall information kiosk. The Animate-based animation must feature a character who offers shoppers assistance in finding various facilities. Each button offers audio instructions that explain the link's purpose. As part of the Animate development team, my job is to prepare the interface artwork that will be handed off to the programmer, who will script the interactivity. This project incorporated the following skills:
Importing and managing artwork from Adobe Illustrator
Using the Library panel to manage a complex file
Building a frame-by-frame animation
Editing various button states
Importing sound files into Animate
Adding event and stream sounds to the Animate timeline
Controlling volume and duration of sound
Applying-built-in sound effects
Synchronizing sound to animation
Defining sound compression settings
Talking Kiosk Interface
