Artistic Flash

Looking for someone who is creative and be in constant communication with us. Project is on a tight deadline and is awaiting final piece to put together. This project will use Flash to display emotional values of content. For example, content will be be graded on? a variety of emotional content, and multiple items will be sent via XML with two values, intensity and pleasantness. An example of these would be: (intensity, pleasantness) Dislike? 7,3 Detest 8,2 Love 8,9 Quiet 3,5 We are looking for someone with an open mind who has some ideas about how these data points can be visually displayed in an artistic and abstract way. We already have scatterplots, and bar charts, those are easy. What we are looking for is something more creative like Itunes visualizer. Tell us what you are capable of doing, with timeline and price. Remember, that we expect daily communication, and daily progress, as we are on a tight timeline. Work should be delivered via Flash and should accept XML values. Structure is yet to be fully determined but will be something like... <item> <quote>I love him so much...</quote> <intensity>8</intensity> <pleasantness>9</pleasantness> </item> So you will have to have some knowledge of actionscript or flashscript to be able to parse this data. People who can provide examples of their creative flash work will be on the shortlist. More Examples: <[login to view URL]:35:23/> <[login to view URL]> Features: Read in XML data Use shapes, colors, and movement to display XML data. End result should be that XML with high intensity scores will look intense, high pleasantness will look pleasant, and low pleasantness will look depressing and sad. Thanks. ## Deliverables * * *This broadcast message was sent to all bidders on Friday May 9, 2008 9:41:03 AM: Some people have stated that the requirements are too broad. This is because I am looking for you to suggest to me how you would display the data. It requires creativity and thought, I can't tell you what to do because we're looking for something abstract and artistic, and obviously if we could think it up, then it can't be very good. This is something that you designers have to do. Again, think Itunes visualizer, which accepts Audio data and renders it with varying color and movement. That's an example of something that would be acceptable, but that is one of many ideas. Anyone could be told what to do, it takes professionalism and skill as a designer to come up with your own ideas now that you know what we are looking for... something to visualize the XML data. * * *This broadcast message was sent to all bidders on Friday May 9, 2008 1:03:55 PM: More Examples: [login to view URL]:35:23/ [login to view URL] Features: Read in XML data Use shapes, colors, and movement to display XML data.

I feel that all of you could've done this quite easily, as I know nothing about flash. Try to be more open minded in the future, this really should've been an easy task.
