TODAY'S CHALLENGE! - BY THE END OF THE LESSON!

The chillout zone will include a large flat panel screen. When not in use it will display a screensaver.

Create the screensaver. It must:

• work on a screen at least 100 mm wide
• consist of a sequence of photos you have edited yourself
• loop continuously
• reflect the theme of the chillout zone.

Construct the Screensaver in the way that you have learnt, REMEMBER to set the right width first!!

By the end of this lesson:

• A completed ANIMATED screensaver
• A screenshot and written review of what you set out to do, why, and how you achieved it. Also, did anything not quite work? How did you overcome these problems?

EXT:

Going on to the work for next week, begin to use Google Sketchup as a means of laying out your Chillout room. REMEMBER it is more useful to see the inside rather than the outside!!
