TBH Time Travel Interactive Canvasser Rebuild

August 17, 2017 By Anna Xu

Old Version: http://texasbeyondhistory.net/kincaid/kids/timetravel.html

Live Demo: https://dev.texasbeyondhistory.net/canvasser_content/time-travel/time-travel.html

 

I’m making progress on the Canvasser rebuild for the TBH Time Travel kids interactive. I had previously worked on making the PSD mockup for this interactive last semester; I am now working on making the Canvasser version of the interactive.

The mockup still has some kinks, but I’m working out the navigation and making some minor edits to the graphics.

Filling in the Blanks

Since I started from a mockup, I didn’t build all of the scenes that I thought were repetitive (e.g. all the stone tool previews for the flint knappers section). I am making those scenes now for the live interactive.

Finding Old Assets with FF Dec

I had to use FF Dec to get some of the images from the old interactive since I couldn’t find them in the appropriate Box folder. As of right now, I’ve also exported all the audio files (.mp3) from the old interactive.

Live Progress Chart

I made a PSD with smart objects of each scene to track the progress I am making with the mockup scenes. I also use this to make notes on edits I need to make and things I need to remember for Canvasser. Since I used smart objects, the document will update every time I save changes to the PSB documents.
