Overview

In this assignment you will create a web based multimedia presentation for a specific topic. The presentation must apply and demonstrate 2D Animation principles and methods and visual effects techniques. You are free to determine the type of visual effects or animation methods that you use, however more complex animation techniques will attract higher marks. All animations must add value in the presentation of your topic.

You have the option of implementing your multimedia presentation and animations using either HTML5 (HTML, javascript, CSS) or CreateJS

All graphic content generated using GIMP must be optimised and in an appropriate web format. Sound should also be incorporated with your presentation.

Ideas for your topic

Your multimedia presentation can be used to tell a compelling story, increase public awareness about a topic of importance e.g. (new zealand election, endangered species), or be used in a training scenario, such as using animation as a way to assist in learning the New Zealand Road Code.
