Assignment Details:

What to do:
- Create a compelling interactive artwork related to the title of this assignment. It can be as literal or abstract as you want.

Tips:
• Be sure to start early so you can bring your questions and problems to office hours.
• Name your layers as soon as you create them. It'll be much easier than changing them all later. Make sure the names you choose are simple and easy to type. When you need to pick one little part of a complex image, it is MUCH easier to pick it by name than with the mouse.
• Take the time to learn the keyboard shortcuts.
• Last but not least - save EARLY and save OFTEN!
•Be as creative as you want!
