New Media project: Nuclear Nevada
This project was a Flash-based Web presentation on nuclear testing in Nevada. I created a visual guide to atomic ground zero. The story of nuclear testing was told through animated Flash graphics, photos, historical video footage and text. The project was planned and developed in Spring 2004. In Fall 2005, I completed a pathfinder project for the interactive features. I designed the graphics and interface in Macromedia Freehand and imported them into Flash.
