This weekend i started on my Resume menu. The earth shadow moves around like the sun is circling it. Then a bar moves out, and the paper rolls down. The resume words will then fade in on the paper to read them.

3-4-09 (Summary)
Summary
Hello my name is Zach Ulrich and I’m a senior at the South-Western Career Academy. I’m a very imaginative and creative student who loves color and creating new things. I like to bring people into my thoughts, by expressing it through drawing, photography and Graphic Design. Every day I try to find new ways to perfect my style by observing others and learning from them. I’m very color based; I believe colors add the initial feel for an image. When I create a new piece of art I always try to create it so I might know how one other would judge it.
Most of my life I’ve been interested in two main things; art and computers. When I started to realize my interest in psychology, I really started asking the question, why does art give a certain feel and how does the human mind react to it? The desire to know that has motivated me to actually understand what I’m designing. Junior year I decided to leave my “home” high school in pursuit of finding a passion that would utilize all my interests together. In my class, Interactive Media Design, we dip into every part of media and design based areas. My junior year I learned the basics of application such as Photoshop, Flash, 3DS Max, and Audition. While also learning basics in photography and video production; it allows us to find what we like best. The first time I used Photoshop I fell in love with it and have been developing that skill passionately ever since. I try to teach myself concepts of design, about using colors, balancing, and contrast. I want to be a Graphic Designer and design Advertising Art to share my creativity and sense of originality with the world.

Today i was able to get all the seasons functioning. The snow i made to fall was created by animation, and tweening. I had gave up on the code snow, just was easier for me to create it my way and still turned out decent.

My interactive resume is coming together well but slowly. I’ve ran into problems with the snow I want to use during my main menu. To solve this I want to use the “random” coding to produce snow falling at multiples and randomly. This will make it look more complex. To cause this snow to stop falling I’m going to use the getTimer coding to stop and start it at different times. I will still research for easier ways, but I will try to incorporate the coding.
