When I first started thinking about this project, I really had no idea what I wanted to design. I knew it could be about anything, which you normally would think is great. But I guess i'm used to being told in class what the project has to be about, so that threw me off for a bit. After thinking about it, I decided to do it on me!
Seeing as I just recently moved to Athens from sunny Buffalo, NY, not many people know where I can from and what has gone on in the past 23 years of my life.

What I initially intend to do with this project is a make a flash program that literally maps out some of my "adventures". I intend to have a map of the USA (mostly the east coast), and mark places I have been and the things that I did when I was at those cities.
One of my personal goals for myself this semester is to really beef up my flash skills, particularly design and action scripting. So (and this remains to be seen) what I would like to see as the end result of this project is to have a map of the USA with some sort of markers (pinpoints, tacks, etc) marking out different points in the US that I have visited. When you click on one of those markers it will pop open a new window which will have a brief description of what I did there, and have some pictures, or something of that nature. On top of that (and here is where the actionscripting comes in) I would like to have some kind of animation happen when you click on a place, perhaps the map zooms to the spot, or you see a little Jeremiah walking towards your desitnation. I'm not sure just yet, I have to sit down at my laptop for a few hours and see what I can conjour up.
