Re: AW: FLASH: I'm looking for good Flash examples

[Al Rosetti]

Since we are debating download times here is my 2 cents.  The only time I

feel it's important to increase the time it takes to download something is

if you are using graphics to help brand a product.  Unfortunately Flash is

primarily a Vector art tool, and doesn't work well with bitmaps.  Without

bitmaps you can't brand most products or companies very well.  Therefore

most Flash you see on the web is just wizbang that doesn't help the company

who purchased it.  Sure, Gabocorp "brands" perfectly with it's site... but

he's built his company on a "vectorish" multimedia image.  I see a lot of

developers shoe horning a companies existing style into a vector format that

looks cheap to most people.  Designers/artists/web masters all get excited

when we see really cool vector art, but that's because we understand how

hard it is to do properly.  Every chance I get I show people my work(and

other people's) just to get a response from the average joe.  Many times I'm

totally stunned by what they think looks cheap, lousy or unprofessional.....

and unfortunately what they think looks good, hehehehe.  The one and only

thing people have consistantly told me they like about Flash stuff is the

movement on the page that it creates.  However, how well does that help

companies brand their image?  It depends on the company I suppose.
