I refer to it as the Graphic Design Timeline, although it’s really a grid. Since time runs along the Y-axis, I guess “Time Stack” is more appropriate than “Time Line”. This project is a solution to display of student-sourced images that represent various eras of graphic design history. It’s built using Actionscript 2.0. The data resides in an external xml document, and all of the images load from external files.

These were for a graphic design portfolio class, a way to add some life and interactivity to some potentially dry subject matter. Was flash necessary to convey this information? No, probably not, but a typical AAU online course includes about 150 web pages of text and still image content, so its nice to gives students something shiny to play with here and there.

Although… I’m not so into Flash anymore. I don’t care for the program interface, I think the plug-in isn’t as universal; as it used to be, it doesn’t work on mobile… Overall it’s not as easy to develop or deploy. It’s still agood platform for delivering video… except to mobile devices. Blah!
