Your pineapple project should include some text animation that indicates you are the author of the application.

You also are required to do the Write-on or the Beam effects. They will have been taught several times this semester and the details of doing Write-On and Beam are available in the free PDF version of chapter one of Geduld book. You can write your name or write your initials or do something else cool using the WRITE-ON and BEAM effects. Having your name occur before or after the pineapple animation using an animation preset for text is also required.
