"It's March Madness, Baby!"

In my ad banner, I used many different tools. A tool I used was the selection tool, I used this to select the photo so I could add animations to it. I also used the convert to symbol tool so I could convert the photo to a movie clip. I also used the Import tool so that I could put the picture on the "stage" of my Flash document. I also used the Align tool so I could put the photo in the middle of the stage. I used the Blur Filter to add the blur to the photo clip. I used the Free Transform tool to resize the picture to make it blow up. The text tool was used to put the text on my ad banner so you could know what I was trying to accomplish. I used the Classic Tween tool to allow the picture to have animation. I used the Key frame to signify that something is going to happen. I used the Properties Panel to get to the Blur Filter. The final tool I used was the Color Menu and it was to add a different color. I specifically used the "Alpha" and adjusted the color to 5%.

I created this to have experience in Flash and I posted in on my blog to advertise for the NCAA National Basketball Championship game coming up on April 2nd! I also created this to show a major event that is coming up. However, some people would not see this as being as exciting. Many others find happiness in watching the most exciting month for college basketball known as "March Madness." During this month, there is literally games on ALL the time. I did this ad banner because I find excitement in March Madness and I am sure many others do as well.
