Easy way to embed you Flash file to your blog!

You have a Flash movie (.swf file)and you want to show it in your blog. There is a simple way to do it.
First, you need to upload your .swf file on any host in the internet. This step makes sure that your .swf file is always available to access. For me, I used my unix host of RMIT unix sever to store my file.
Then, apply the followings codes into your blog:

<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="240" id="Yourfilename" ALIGN="">
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="Yourfilename.swf"> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#333399> <EMBED src="Yourfilename.swf" quality=high bgcolor=#333399 WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="240" NAME="Yourfilename" ALIGN="" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED></OBJECT>

Finally, replace "Yourfilename" by the real link of your .swf file (after upload your file on a host, you will receive a link to download your file). Your Flash movie will be already displayed on your blog. ^^

You also can change the width and the height of display window. Have fun!

Camera Moves

The way to make your movie being more impressive is using kinds of camera move.
The clip below is from Final Fantasy VII – Advent Children. You can see some “Extreme Close-up” moves of camera in the beginning, which focus to the main characters. There are also some dramatic angle shots, which are very impressive.

Photomontage

I have an assignment in class called “Photomontage Assignment”. Therefore, I think it is good to preview this site before I start to work. In general, photomontage is some thing like this image. By using different kinds of image, we can create a whole picture, which consists a new meaning. According to the article, it’s better if we use our own photographs and images. Just take the camera, go out, and shoot as many as we can. Then a last thing we need to do is using Photoshop to build our new face.

Typography_Listen to the voice

Choosing a font for a layout is very important. It depends on the tone of the layout. Fonts also have their voice. For example, in these two layouts, the word “REMEMBER” is used to create the meaning of them. A happy font type presents the word “Remember” in the pink layout, which is an inorganic font. The characters look like flowers. Do you think so? ^^
In the second layout, the font type is organic. Its voice leads you to something very old and mystery. Combine the typography and the image (man in black), the layout would talking about some things in a detective novel

Business Card_Orchidarium

Making a business card could be simple & not really simple, do u think so?
In this case, I consider about the white space of the layout. Using a part of the Orchid image on the top right will make a big impress to the audiences, then it would connect the audiences to the company name "Ochidarium".
At the bottem side, there are information of the company owner. The name and the phone nubers of this person actually are a little bit bigger than other information. This would lead the audiences easier to get what exactly information they need.
All at once, I'd to leave the white space to make the layout cleaner, fresher, and the easier information catching.
