Adobe Flash is a professional software for producing interactive animations such as banners and cartoons that draw the attention of website visitors and help you increase the hit counts. Flash is using “vector image” such that the size and shape of the animations can be adjusted. Further, the loading time can be reduced by using the streaming technique. You will learn a variety of animation techniques which are useful for web animations including creating & editing artwork, exporting video & sound, timelines & animation, and 3D graphics. You will also learn the skills to incorporate video and sound into your Flash design.

Client Testimonials "The instructor is very good in explanation on the functions of Adobe software, especially he can provide some real life examples on design.  As a purchaser who is focusing on printing meterials purchasing, the knowledge I earned from the course is very uesful and can help me to manage the preproduction process better.  ‘Small size teaching’ is very good as it allows us to have more contact with instructor.” Miss Li Wing Yan (Purchasing Supervisor) "I think it is a perfect match of “InDesign + Illustrator + Photoshop” and it is a really good choice for me.  For a very beginning learner like me, Eric is so patient and kind to me.  And I can follow eric very easily."
