Just in case my DryerFox post didn't make it apparent, I'm not a graphic artist. But I can hack away with Adobe Fireworks with the best of them, so that's what I did. I googled for the biggest image I could find of a front loading dryer, and I found the image on the left.
Here's what I did to get the one on the right:
I spent a bunch of time learning & fiddling with Fireworks. At least 50% of this project time was due to my lack of design skillz.
- The black background was easy to turn transparent.
- I then split the image into 4 layers: the control panel, the lid, the frame, and the drum.
- I stretched the lid and frame to make the dryer more squarish.
- I repositioned the unstretched control panel appropriately.
- I made the drum as large as possible, even making the rim thinner, to maximize the portion of the browser window that will show inside the drum.
- I got rid of the squarish reflection on the glass bubble. I used the "magic wand" selector in Fireworks to find all the similar connected pixels, and then I just lowered the brightness.
- Then I realized that the image was actually a top-load washer, not a dryer. Agh! Darn you inaccurate search engine metadata! But my result looked pretty, so on I went ...
OK, now I that I had graphics, I needed some decent sound FX. Here I have a bit more of a background, having spent 6 years designing digital audio equipment. Normally, I'd hop on over to Sound Dogs (think iStockPhoto, but for sounds), since they have such a huge library.
But one of the main inspirations for this project is the nagging sound of my own dryer, which is right next to my home office. So I just brought my MacBook Pro into the laundry room and recorded it directly using the built-in mic.
I needed to disable the "Use ambient noise reduction" setting, since ambient noise was exactly what I was after.
I cranked up the input volume and recorded a 40 second run of good heavy load of towels, complete with the wonderful clunk of the relays kicking in when the dryer shut off.
Alrighty, I had all my media assets, so then it was off to Flex Builder to create the app, covered in the next post.

Se que todo mundo piensa que soy la niña fría.
Pero no lo se, es la imagen que he dado, pero alguien que me escuche, alguien que me entienda alguien, que no se burle.
A mi hermana la hiero, nunca puede ver lo que siento por que en su egoísmo solo piensa en si misma y en nadie mas.
Mis padres de todo se la pasan culpándome y lo se algunas cosas si han sido mi culpa aunque otras no y lo siento nadie me puede ver llorar nunca, todo mundo cree que soy la niña fría y fuerte y lo soy pero no es así siempre, en cualquier momento a mi me pueden derrumbar por que fuerte no soy y el llanto mas ya no puedo aguantar.
No se por que lastimo tanto a los que mas amo, si se que controlarme debo de aprender, pero no puedo, solo lo se por que tal vez solo es una forma de defenderme, pero no lo hago con la intención de protegerme, cosa que creo que no me sale a la perfección.
