Initially, there was a total of 8 different Flash Banner Advertisements to design and animate using supplied imagery and copy. After the initial concept for both them male and female adverts was conceived, it was then adapted to suit the 4 different sizes of banner: 120×600, 300×250 468×60 and 728×90 (2 of each, one for male and one for female).

There was also a video-editing task to be carried out, where 3 existing clips were to be edited together and placed on a loop. This was then burned to DVD to be played on a display stand at a public exhibition in London.

Hippy Dave

This interactive animation was created by Ramsay while he was studying at Glasgow Caledonian University for his Honours Degree in Applied Graphic Technology. It was created as a solution to the ‘Sequential Imagery Development’ unit.

The character, illustration, animation and sound (except the soundtrack) were all created exclusively for this project.

Ramsay also took the next step in interactive animation while creating this project: Dynamic Interactive Animation. This can be found on the Jimi Hendrix poster on Dave’s wall, where the eyes seem to follow the mouse cursor when moved around.

(Please be patient, it could take quite a while to load… just like Dave himself!)
