the sequence, you can emphasize one of the following:

Can you superimpose your most recent ideas about
the design into the sequence?

You may create the animation sequence one of the
following ways:
-
Sequencing images into a GIF animation using
Photoshop 5.5, Graphic Converter, Gif Animator or GIF Builder

Creating a walkthrough from a 3D CAD program such
as FormZ or Design Workshop
-
Creating 2D image components and animating them in
floating boxes with Dynamic HyperText Markup Language
