By popular demand, I’m re-posting the Rule of Thirds tutorial.
I took it down when I revamped my site, largely because the tutorial is old and requires Shockwave. A few school teachers have let me know they used it in their classes, so I’m happy to repost it.

Background: Rule of Thirds is quick and fun tutorial explaining the concept of the rule of thirds as used in visual design. I created this tutorial for a graduate-level Macromedia Director course at San Francisco State University in 2004. Because it was created in Macromedia Director, you’ll need the Shockwave plug-in to view the file (sorry about that… I know it’s a hassle).

Thanks guys. I’m tempted to try to rebuild it in HTML5 for kicks. 😉
What did you use to buid it with in the first place? Program/Language if it is as antiquated as you mention.
@ltk It was built using Macromedia Director and Lingo
