Evaluation

Overall, my interactive CV was a success. Despite being a long and confusing process, after my work deleting, I plucked the courage to work on it alone at home, learning new things. I wanted to try to mimic the themes of my plan and previous CV that got deleted, and I believe that I successfully achieved that by simply following the same layout design, colors, and fonts.

Here is my full timeline of my interactive CV that I have created. Throughout this process I discovered how to get items to move simultaneously, simply by placing the key frame where other desired items may start. You can see that on the timeline I've included that a lot where the timeline is blue and green. And on the video this makes the letters move on and off the screen together, making it look neat, but mostly more fun to look at!

In order to keep my color theme, I used the color tool in which I can save created colors that I wanted to be used throughout my CV, by simply adding it to the color palette.

Because my CV is animated around the text, I had to use basic text tools which were sizing the font, in which I changed mostly to 104px, and changed the font to 'Crafty-girls, sans-serif', which I believe best represented my personality.

Throughout this process, I also had to import a picture from my computer which was very straight forward, I simply clicked 'file' in the top left hand corner, then Import.

I watched a video to remind me how to use code for this software, in which I learnt once again how to embed videos or a website link etc on demand when I want to. Here I made my CV quite lighthearted, by guiding the viewers where to click in order to find out more about me. However, in order to make it slightly more animated, I created a key frame for the letter R to change color, which I believe made it stand out, making it the point of attention. Using my initiative I thought how could I interpret my skills into my work to highlight key points of my interactive CV.

Coding was quite simple after looking at a tutorial on how to do it. In order to create some form of interactivity on the 'Click Here' part of the CV, I opened action's on 'BLUER' simply by clicking on the brackets on the workshop timeline. I then had several actions that I could choose from. I chose 'Click', which will then guide the viewer onto my personal blog to find out more about me (as you can see the link in the code box).

In order to publish this to make it view-able on the web I had to make sure that the publish settings were set on 'Web'. That way, I've been able to save it as a video, which is in a format suitable for HTML. That is how I've been able to also upload the video onto this actual blog. I then published and saved.

Overall, I've used a range of my skills and knowledge and learnt several more throughout in order to create this fun and interactive Curriculum Vitae. I've managed to keep the main themes of my plan and stuck to 3 main colors which I think best represent me. The interactivity and constant movement on my CV makes it more interesting and fun for viewers to look at.

In order to embed a video I got the embed code from youtube and pastes it into the code box. On the plus icon I then clicked 'Play' On 'Click', so when someone wants to watch the video all they have to simply do is click on it.

Task 2.2 Complete- CV Homepage Sketches- Two Visual Styles

For this homepage I imagined it being more simple, but more dynamic in terms of the colours etc.

On this example for my homepage I Imagined that It could have my first Name written across the screen in large writing, and vector based flowers fade in a appear each at a time, and each letter of my name bounces up and down, opposite to the letter next to it so it has a repetitive motion.

Two Visual Styles
 One style could be dynamic and colourful in terms of the background, font, text, and animation. I like this because it does really express who I am as a person, however I'm driven more toward the simple visual style, which perhaps is shown on the second homepage sketch. Reason being, because I personally thing that it looks more neat, and I can also add as much animation as I want without any of the pages looking too overcrowded.

Sound Research
Throughout my CV I don't think there'll be any ongoing music. However, on the third page which consists of my interests, there'll be a section of videos throughout that'll play music when clicked on/played.

Production Log

Here is the creation process of my Animated Curriculum Vitae. I've tried to use my original plan as a template for my creation, which is helping me with the progress.

So far, I've made the front page of my interactive CV, which is very similar to my plan. The text on the front moves almost near to how I imagined it to.

I've slightly changed the colours of the text, as something bright on the first page will hopefully catch attention.

Colour Scheme

These are some potential colours that I'll mainly use throughout the creation of my CV.
