Project 2 - Brianna Barcus - Falling Star


This project was very neat to do. Working with layers makes everything so much easier (even when you have the flu) . I grouped a lot of things together. For static objects it makes things easier to work with. I grouped the sky together in one group, the hills in another, and the falling star in yet another group.

I couldn't make a mask look good, so I just did a really simple one. I stacked everything pretty simply. I made sure the background was at the bottom and the falling star which is the foreground was on the top.
I think if you're going to work with complex graphics you need to use grouping. And then learn to use layers. It helps out a lot when things get.... 'complex'. One of the problems I ran across was that when you have layers that over lap each other and objects in that layer overlap each other and you try to group them things get tricky. So you have to watch out for that.

All in all a pretty fun project despite the fact I have the flu. :(
