Essa — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 22:13:34 +0000

I work with people. In today’s environment, I find that listening is a skill that has been lost, particularly from a vendors perspective. Not with eMedia. For the last several months, Essa became a member of our team. He learned our business, listened to our challenges, understood how we wanted to be perceived and put his listening to work in building our new brand. I am thrilled with the work that has been delivered and for all of Essa’s insight along the way. If you would like to hear more about my experience with Essa – call me. I’d be glad to talk with you about it personally. If you want to see it first hand – check it out at www.blackbookemg.com – his work speaks for itself.

Heartland Industrial Solutions approached eMedia to help with a re-design of their brand as well as their website, and we hit it out of the park. Fine lines and perfect colors make for a “Machine” of a website. The client was more than pleased, and we are too.

Illustrator export to Flash no worky?

Essa — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 07:01:46 +0000

I developed a business presentation using Flash CS4 (because it required some custom charts and animation), of which I created an executable application for the client to run on his local machine. I finished designing all of the slides in Illustrator and had to start transferring assets into Flash so I could get to animating and programming… SO, here’s where it gets interesting, at least for a computer nerd graphic designer, like myself. Normally, in past versions of Illustrator/Flash, when you’d like to transfer content, you would go to File > Export, change the Filetype setting to SWF, and simply press the button. Now, over the last few versions of Illustrator/Flash, more and more new features like transparent gradients, drop-shadows (well this one’s been around for a while but there’s a good reason why I included it, keep reading), and even text effects… So, with this particular project, I start by trying the standard time-engraved method of File > Export, import into Flash and, low and behold… it’s horrible… I mean, unrecognizable font issues and characters going every which way, gradients are actually rasterized images of the original ‘Vector’ gradient with just a mask cutting out the correct shape. I’d say MAYBE 10% of the content that’s imported is even usable. Now, if I do recall, Flash has had vector gradients since it was invented. So what’s the deal? Who knows… But I can say that I’ve figured out a solution and you’re definitely going to laugh at this one. So here’s the new method which I honestly just HAPPENED to stumble across…

get ready for it… reeeeeady…. okay, here goes….

you’re gonna love this…

First, you select whatever you want to transfer in Illustrator and then… wait for it… Copy (Command/Control+C)……. and, you guessed it, go into Flash and Paste (Command/Control+V). How you like dem apples?

There’s no way you say… right? There’s no way it’s that easy… Well it’s true. Try it out for yourself. I don’t understand the logistics of making the import method different between copying/pasting your assets into Flash, or importing an exported SWF file. Actually, I’m guessing there weren’t any logistics involved at all. But there’s more.

Do you remember how I mentioned the drop-shadows that you can apply to any shape or text in Illustrator? Well get this, you can even copy over the drop-shadow effects over to Flash seamlessly. Here’s what I mean by seamlessly… to apply an effect like a drop-shadow to anything in Flash, you have to convert the object into a MovieClip first, then apply a number of effects including changing the opacity, add a glow, even blur to name a few. So when you copy/paste your ‘effected’ item from Illustrator into Flash, it automatically converts the graphic into a Movieclip (I’m assuming this only works for effects that are included in Flash) and automatically applies the according effect for you. Now if you’ve worked with Flash as long as I have, this is as big as the invention of toast.

I am very pleased with the website that eMedia built for my company and the service I received throughout the process. Essa is thorough, detailed, prompt and he delivers great results. I have received numerous compliments on the look, content and ease of use of our website. I would recommend Essa and eMedia Design to anyone that needs help with a new or existing website, company branding or e-marketing/commerce, etc.

From a recommendation of a business associate, I recently decided to try advertising my business on the web, and contacted eMedia Design to help. Being a smaller business, I wanted to start out rather small in advertising to fit my budget with the option of expanding as my company grows. I met Essa for an initial consultation concerning my needs and he did a fantastic job explaining all of my options of a web presence for my company. After our initial discussion and some information concerning my business, within just a few days he created our new company logo which I was very pleased with. I also “very much” appreciate the fact that the rest of the website design AND creation was implemented with just a few emails and phone conversations. Essa did a “fantastic” job answering any and all of my questions, and I truly feel he made the creation and implementation of my company’s website as painless and easy as I could have ever hoped for. The whole process took just a few weeks and I’m more than pleased with the end results. I look forward to working with Essa and eMedia Design again in the future.

We have learned so much through the processes of developing our new website with eMedia Design. They listened to what we wanted, gave suggestions, and answered our questions in a clear and understandable manner. eMedia met and exceeded our expectations for our new site. They have been diligent in staying on top of our requests and making changes as we develop new needs. They have truly been a pleasure to work with, and we anticipate collaboration on many other projects in the future.

What we learned from J8ded

admin — Wed, 13 May 2009 17:36:59 +0000

I’ve always been a big fan of Flash and considered myself sudo-proficient in designing and developing Flash based sites, but never got the chance to really stretch my knowledge…until now. When I took on the J8ded project, I thought I was definitely in for a challenge that would test my understanding of the program, while allowing me to pick up a few new tricks along the way. Well I was wrong.. I picked up WAY more than a few new tricks, like a whole new language called Actionscript 3.0. I’ll make this short… “The possibilities are endless”.

It’s almost surreal to even say.. err think.. err type… Why you ask? Never… have I ever… even once… thought I’d ever be anything even resembling a programmer. In the real world (well our quasi-real world anyway), it’s almost against the laws of physics for a graphic designer to know how to program, and yes, for a programmer to be a good designer. By doing the homework (tutorials) and actually disconnecting yourself from the standard visual journey of your audience’s eye.. it shall be done! Now I think I can say this because I’ve done it. Actionscript 3.0 is the first programming language that, I think, actually makes sense. I could go on for days about why but that would turn this entry, and possibly this entire blog, into a real bore.

admin — Mon, 11 May 2009 19:40:08 +0000

It’s been long overdue, but the much anticipated (at least from this end) eMedia re-design has finally launched. The new design does a better job of conveying the quality of work we provide, while outlining what we do and why we’re the best at it. We hope you enjoy the new design, and look forward to your comments.
