Academy of Professional Higher Education, Multimedia Designer
 Michael Koch, lecturer and Technology and design Evangelist at the BA Webdevelopment and Multimedia Designer educations in Denmark is hosting the workshop.
Michael is on a daily basis working with subjects as Mobile design and development in Flash, dynamic Flash websites and database, Flash design and coding, Vue and Maya, 3D animation, Motion Capture, Arduino and Unity 3D Visualizations.
In this workshop the lecturer and students will explore how to create Flash websites based on Adobe Flash Catalyst.

For many art students there is an urgent need to get better tools for creating close to finished website design without the need for too much coding.
This is today possible by using Photoshop and/or Illustrator as a starting point to create stunning designs and then importing these designs into Flash Catalyst to create finished websites.
There is also a need to create dynamic data websites in Flash Catalyst and to incorporate elements from Flash, which communicate with servers and the workshop will also show examples of this.
The objectives of the workshop are:
- To understand how you should build the Photoshop psd files (An example file will be provided for students)
- How to setup the Flash Catalyst Flash file based on the provided Photoshop file.
- How to build the website itself
- How to incorporate Video
- How to incorporate Sound
- How to incorporate dynamic Flash files talking to server .swf/.as
- To understand the Photoshop/Catalyst/Flash/Builder workflow offered today by the Adobe Suite
