Good and Bad flash example

Good example (www.marcecko.com)

 I am impressed that Marc is such a design savvy. Whenever I move a mouse around the screen, the page moves along with the direction. Also when I click on one of the menus, the webpage collapses into small bricks and change to a new page.   I definitely recommend this site to people who have a vision problems, because the buttons are made of large and vivid pictures.

Bad example(www.lingscars.com)
I don't understand who designed the site. The animations are nothing notable, because they predominantly used Photoshop to create animations. What I mean is that, the artist choose an image and created a slide show, instead of putting more effort. In another case, one of the banners shows an animated sequence where three stooges are splattered with the paint. Again this is done with Photoshop in addition to Microsoft paint.

Multimedia Design statement.

Hello, everyone, I was not active on my blog for a long time. Well sorry about that. I was busy doing my other works. Anyways, this is my obejective for a new class, Multimedia Design. Throughout this course, I would like to learn various aspects of Macromedia Flash and integrate my knowledge to Web design. I have taken a Flash class before, but I didn't learn much. The problem was that the previous course had no detailed instruction and it made me hard to follow. By working with Angela again, I would like to learn how to properly create animation and improve my skills to land a job in near future.
