Description Adobe Flash CS4

This week I had to create a 15-30 second animation that will be part of our "tutorial" project. The animation has to be a teaching aid of some kind. I decided to animate one of the simplest parts of color theory; that is, color groups: primary colors, secondary colors, and tertiary colors.

The music is not in the original animation. I added the music to this version at my mom's request.

This animation sequence took approximately 6 hours to do. I am thinking about adding "pause", "mute", and "replay" controls... maybe tomorrow.

The complete tutorial, "Color Theory and Innovative Web Design", is now available online! --> [link]

thank-you for the very usefull tutorial! I learnt a lot here!
although 'Global – beauty. Isalmic, Hindu, and Chinese brides traditionally wear red.'- this is common in south asian culture, including south asian muslims, but in islam, the colour white is preferred as it symbolises purity, and the prophet Muhammad (pbuh) recommended it. The rest is a matter of individual and social taste.
Again, I'd like to thank you on such a lovely tutorial.

Thanks for that information! I had no idea that white was the recommended color. If I remember the research correctly, the red color choice is more prominent among some Muslims on the Indian subcontinent and Asia, so I wonder if culture plays a small part in that?

I know that white wedding dresses did not become the norm in Europe until the Victorian Era when Queen Victoria wore white at her wedding in 1840. So this "tradition" is actually very new for most of Europe and the Americas.

I'm glad you liked the tutorial!

Any time. I'm glad to be abl;e to help.
'If I remember the research correctly, the red color choice is more prominent among some Muslims on the Indian subcontinent and Asia, so I wonder if culture plays a small part in that?'
True. That's more of a culture (they do have their own cultures after all )


I didn't know that Thanks for the info.


I'm glad too. It's helped me make more harmonious pics!

Jacquelyn this is amazing! Did you have to do this tutorial for Instructional Design?

jacquelynvansant In reply to Lala-Lani [2011-07-12 14:44:38 +0000 UTC]

Yup, this was part of my tutorial for Instructional Design (WGD250). We had to have some kind of animation in the tutorial so I made this. I am not as familiar with Flash as other Adobe programs, so it took quite a bit of time to get everything working the way I wanted.

You can see my completed tutorial here --> [link]

I love the music It's beautiful and I think it's fitting for the color wheel.

Makes it epic. I have a strong feeling your going to be just fine.

An epic color wheel! When I was searching around for music, that song really struck me and I just had to use it.

We do have to include some kind of audio in the final tutorial, and I may use part of this song for the introductory animation I am going to do with the cartoon version of myself and a color wheel graphic.

I am, too. Hopefully, it will live up to what I have planned out and what I see in my mind's eye.
