Students used Flash to create animated and/or interactive new media works. The assignment specified that the work should illustrate a short piece of writing and should "implicitly offer an interpretation of the text; choose elements in your design with that in mind."

In their project reports, students explained their intentions and their choices, discussed other new media works that inspired them, and speculated on a definition of new media based on their experiences during the quarter.

Take a look at these examples, which are accompanied by quotations from the students' reports (and note that you can play the Flash movie by clicking on the image or on the title):
