Flash.

BLOG: What is Flash and why do we, designers, use it? Check out flash projects online and blog about at least 3.

Flash is, " a multimedia platform originally acquired by Macromedia and currently developed and distributed by Adobe Systems."
We use flash because it creates our 2 dimensional work, into something that can be seen as three dimensional, and with movements. It makes it more interactive.


The three projects that I've enjoyed watching was:

oh and this for its cuteness:

The reason why I chose these projects is because not only did I learn by watching them, but it also gave me some sort of entertainment. And they were all created so thoughtfully. Like creating a background image for the feeling of space and depth, and the color pallet which I think I need to be careful with.
