LECTURES

-Week 9
This week we are trying to use the GSAP website to embed code into Adobe Animate. We need to find a wallpaper and add graphics as buttons on it and make dynamic effects for the buttons and wallpaper.

-Week 10
Because our lecturer needs to go to other countries to give lectures, we have basically been conducting online courses in the past few weeks.
We took a few more Adobe Animate tutorials and did some exercises under the guidance of the instructor.This week I tried coding using GSAP.

-Week 11
This week is still an online course, and our instructor teaches us how to create buttons in complex animations.



Final Project: Thematic Interactive Website
For this final project we need to create an interactive animated website using Adobe Animate. I will be continuing with Task 2's Disney website to make it into a website.


1. Website Design

I've stuck with the plan from Mission 2, and so far so good.

2. Website Animation

I first set up the animation for my landing page to the home page. I want the landing page to be a computer lock screen page, and then enter the home page to display various entertainment facilities, and these entertainment facilities are all clickable.At the same time, I tried adding click sound effects to make the website more interesting.

Landing PageAdobe Animate


From the landing page, click the arrow to go to the home page.
On the homepage, there are seven entertainment facilities on the map that can be clicked, which are the seven entertainment areas of Disney. At the same time, three Disney mascots will appear in the lower left corner. Putting the mouse on them will show "About", "Join Us" and "Entertainment Facilities" respectively.Click the Mickey head in the upper left corner to return to the landing page at any time, the music button can start/pause music at any time, and the back button can return to the home page at any time.

For my about page, I will introduce Shanghai Disneyland so that people who are not familiar with Disney can have a general understanding.

As for the Join Us page, if you click yes, the pop page will disappear and the words "Welcome to join us" will appear. Click no to return to the home page.

For the Entertainment Facilities button, clicking it will introduce the entertainment areas in order starting from the entrance. Clicking the arrows can control the previous and next facilities.

At the same time, I added bubble effects to each page transition.

After the instructor's feedback, I found that I forgot to add the loading page. So I added the loading page. After thinking about it, I set the loading page to several jumping Mickey heads jumping in sequence.

The website may take some time to load, so please be patient. You are welcome to view the walkthrough video in Fig. 3.2 for additional details on the appearance of the website.

Feedback

  • Adjust the webpage size so that it fills the entire page.
  • Add loading page animation.
  • It would be better to add a flashing animation to the light bulb on each page of notes

      Reflections

      -Experience
      I was certain that the Advanced Interaction Design course would be harder after taking Interaction Design the previous semester. Nonetheless, I thought that creating the button effects, bounce animations, and other things was more enjoyable in this course. The amount of coding was less than I had originally assumed.

      -Observations
      While working on this project, I realized that in Adobe Animate, any small setting error can seriously affect the final effect. A code error can cause a button or something else to not display properly. This is a very delicate lesson. I also spent a lot of time on the final animation. I did it very carefully.

      -Findings
      Making animations is considerably simpler when you have a general idea of how the website will operate and how users will interact with it. There are a lot of things to think about when I first start designing with Adobe Illustrator.
