Decisions

After finishing the program I am very happy with how it turned out.

A few things didn't quite go as planned but other than that it is all in working order.

My plan had been to finish the program and have it in the show for people to interact with unfortunately amazon had other plans. When it came to my tablet pen.

So as a response to that I am going to be going around and personally asking people to interact with my piece. At least by doing this I will ensure that it is done correctly.

AS 3.0 Questions

Two big Issues I have with this project

One being, I need to make an Interactive AS 3.0 drawing application

I found a bunch of sources showing drawing applications all being AS 2.0

I need a tutorial or flash source showing an AS 3.0 drawing application

Here is an example

Thats what I want but in AS 3.0

Senior Thesis

For my senior independent project I will be creating an interactive piece that will document peoples reaction to words based on their creative drawing. It will be creative a program which will display on a screen a word with strong meaning but still vague and up for interpretation, such as hate, love, happy, never, everything etc.

The person interacting will have a 20 seconds to draw what they feel when they read the word. Id like to supply them with a tablet to make computer drawing a bit easier. I would like there to be at least 6 words with a 20 seconds each, the process would take around 3 minutes.

Does 20 seconds seem to rushed to draw what comes to peoples minds from the words they are shown. Should I give them 30? I want people to draw from reaction and not have much time to think it over. I think that will encourage more in depth mental outcomes from what people create. But I do want them to have enough time to get their thoughts on the page. 20, 30, 40?

And also is 6 words too many. I don't want to push the persons attention span.
