Module 1 - Blinkinlights

It took the author that made this animation out of 13,935 individual frames to create this version of star wars. He has been very ingenious in using numbers & symbols to create the character images which depict the star wars characters.

This example of animating dots & dashes is a forerunner of using a computer as a medium that displays images as well as text and numbers to communicate information. The software applications that are available today make this
animation look primitive but it demonstrates the concept that information can be packaged using a variety of formats. Graphics have expanded the development of techniques to enhance the presentation of data with multimedia applications that exist on our computers and on the net.
