Multimedia Production: Animation The project was to design an instructional design presentation, using multimedia presentation techniques with animation. The piece was created in Astound, including voiceover and detailed animations. I developed a storyboard and script prior to creating it in Astound. The purpose of this piece was to explain a few basic functions of Photoshop. These software programs were used for the production of this tutorial: Photoshop, Illustrator, and Astound Challenge The challenge was to communicate to end users about the different functions of Photoshop, and how to use Photoshop as a tool to create design products. Result—High-Quality Multimedia Piece Over a period of four months, the team (three people) worked to develop and implement a multimedia presentation. The original digital file did not translate into a file that could be used on the Internet. To let you know, it is a long scroll down. Slide 1 There are four layers.
