Soundscape using HYPE Framework AS3

I was messing around with the HYPE files and wanted to combine the color-gradient with my music visualizer so that I had a cool custom visualizer. But then I wanted to replace the little visualizer assets with the Artist LOGO! I chose the song 'In the Dark' by DEV. She's pretty awesome and Smexy aswell. So check out what I got. I will throw up a tutorial giving some details on how I did this!

CHECK IT!

The song in this animation is property of Universal Republic and I do not have rights to redistribute it or make profit from the song. So if you want the song please purchase it and support the artists and thieving higher-ups that make money off of them.

For those that still care. Advanced ActionScript

For this assignment We had to create a winebottle mock up with assets created in Flash using the Hype Framework Actionscript 3.

We used butterflies as an asset for creating our label



Here is my application of the label asset with added text and design.



This is my Wine Bottle created with Illustrator and Photoshop along with Adobe Flash and ActionScript 3 to create the pattern on the label. Hope you like it!

Made with 100% Fermented Butterfly Blood.. mm... taste great with cheese!
