The Hype framework is a fantastic, really easy to use framework devised by Joshua Davis and Branden Hall. It allows you to very quickly create Generative Artwork and is specifically tailored to creative Flash designers and developers who want to see results fast with minimum coding.

One of the most interesting aspects of the framework is the SoundAnalyzer class as this gives you access to the sound spectrum of any audio playing through the Flash player.

I recently spent two days teaching a training course in Flash at a design agency in Brighton.

Mind Orchard are an advertising, corporate branding agency and digital animation studio and they required a training solution that was tailored to their needs and the skills of their new designer, Brett.

After consultation with the agency I constructed a two day schedule that included asset preparation with Photoshop and Illustrator, Flash tips and tricks, Banner production concepts and best practices, introductory Actionscript 3 and dynamic tweening with TweenLite.
