This is an interactive assignment that displays some of the symbols I created in a previous assignment. The object of the assignment was to demonstrate a knowledge of flash while displaying the methodology of the creation of our final symbol. My concept was to mimic the space theme of my symbols. The symbols fly in at different directions like objects floating in space. Once you click the space green button, the following symbols are the iterations of the previous symbol, which come out in an asteroid like pattern, ending in the final symbol.

For this project, we were to design a map for what we were thinking. I chose to do a 3-Dimensional box that represented my mind. You would view through the slot seeing everything inside my mind. The items in the front where the ones I thought about most, the ones farther back were things I was not as focused on.

Perceptual Map
This is the second map in my project, the perceptual map. In this map, I was to emphasize the difference senses I perceived on my journey. I used a video to showcase what I saw, heard, felt, and smelled on my journey. The video follows my exact path of travel from my room to my first class. The sound changes to reflect the texture of the surface I am walking on. There are also different sounds for what I hear on my journey. Smell is represented through symbols and the cloud of smell that I walk through. I hoped to present my journey in a way that my audience could perceive the same senses I do by experiencing my same journey.

Artifact Map
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHer_zuPD4wS-zA_z57Kyx2JFJQ76NHNTUIfo9y7cOqwGTtA19vhQR0kRD6oBBmEx9S2lkR8cMQAWGqwAblMdYGML81BFrAria3sDp05jKh_BwX4Wsh4b9qErCo0ezLOJ3b5it7M8NAnMF/s400/ArtifactMap3Yellow.jpg)
This is the first map of a three part project.
In this project, we were to create an artifact map of our journey from home to school. Since I live on campus, I decided to trace my path from my room on campus to my first class. This map was to include more geographical and physical aspects of my journey. The idea was that someone unfamiliar with the area could read my map and be able to successfully complete the path of travel. Since my journey is very short, I decided to focus on the main guiding feature from my room to my class: the sidewalks. I created the sidewalks in the same form and pattern as the one's in my journey. With the sidewalks and the buildings as a reference, my map is very easy to read.

Symbol Creation - Finals per Category
Space Final 3

These were the final 3 images for each category that I then refined into final solid symbols.

Symbol Creation - Step 1
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZrrHHkWMq_b49MGH0qwzs9W_MbsVFiyfOvujObKyNKMdzxQNBTW5z7qNMdXVoCbJwmsS5FjmmGipCzLo0wEYkB6KqZRjcZu-MfajejSVMFcyn_HiYGwfym151MXzALor4F4BTHvEXMfpX/s400/9Icons-01.png)
This was the beginning of a project where our goal was to create a new symbol. I started with a general topic, mine being Navigation. From there, I chose three subcatagories: Nautical, Space, and Virtual. For each sub category I vectorized one found image, one hand drawn image, and one abstracted image relating to that category. These were my results. We then used this in a matrix system to create new symbols.

Duck Project

This is a vectorized rubber ducky. The purpose of this project was to gain experience with the pen tool, and practice vectoring objects.
