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.
