This challenge is to create a demo to show how course designers can use motion graphics in e-learning. An E-learning hero, Jonathan Hill has created a great demo of how to build attention-grabbing motion graphics. I've followed his tips and created my own version. I've just started my UK driving test preparation and this inspires me to create a mini-game and practice my use of motion paths in Storyline. Explore the projectI first created all the graphics needed for this course using PowerPoint, e.g. the background of the mountains and the white route going from Point 1 to Point 3. I also used Adobe Photoshop to add myself into the red car. For the moving of the red car, I added the red car on the base layer and the tyres on another layer. On the tyre layer, each tyre has a 1-second Spin as their entrance animation, and I added a jump to start trigger on this layer. The benefit for putting the tyres on another layer is that I don't need to add/change the states of the tyres. With the tyres being on another layer, the Jump to start trigger will fire when the Entrance animation (1-second spin) completes, and the tyres will appear to spin continuously. For the mountains at the back, this background image is twice the width of the slide and it moves on a repeating motion path. Make sure the image has a repeating pattern so that it can appear to be scrolling from left to right seamlessly. AfterthoughtsThis challenge gave me a good opportunity to practice using motion paths and setting related triggers to make the graphics to appear to be moving seamlessly. Also I was playing around with different sound effects and I noticed that adding sound effects really make a big difference to the experience. I've kept this in mind and will play around with different sound effects in my next project.
