Creating the boxes

I wanted the boxes to have a 3D effect when they were falling. I created a box in Illustrator with the Extrude and Bevel tool. This is good although it makes the colours really dark!





Making the box lighter in Photoshop


After testing the changing boxes as they fell in Flash it didn't work. It looked far too stilted so I've decided to make it simpler... using one box falling down but changing size and placement. This should give the desired effect. Also the web page takes far too long to load. I think I'll have to create a new Flash document with smaller images. I tried replacing the files in the animation with smaller ones but it only made the file bigger!
