Designing user interface and movie clips

Today I designed the main user interface for the virtual pet.

I have decided to make my panda a bright green colour, since it adds more colour to the page, and looks more fun to younger children. I think it also makes him seem cuter.

I made the buttons fun shapes with bright colours, which also appeals to young children.

Also today, I created the movie clip of what happens when the user "feeds" him. I put actionscript on the 'Feed' button telling flash to play frame 20 (where I made the movie clip) when clicked.

I will do this for the three other activities (Play, Hurt, and Sleep) on Monday.
