Web Design: Flash Sites

Taschen Icons - Web Design

by Julius. Wiedemann

The power of Flash... Many of the web's most eye-popping sites are created using Flash, a program which allows for total creative freedom and maximum interactivity. In its early years, Flash was used mostly for artistic and design sites, but more recently large corporations—even Citibank—have turned to Flash. This guide rounds up the very best and most innovative sites using 100% Flash navigation, including Nike, Adidas, Bacardi, Shrek, Nintendo, Playstation, Ford, and Honda. Also featured are two case studies and an introduction by Rob Ford, the creator of Favorite Website Awards.

Although Flash is somewhat dated with the arrival of HTML5 I still recommend due to the UX and experiential aspect of the sites within. Nice to understand how aspects of brand stories were told through their sites.

Nice small book. The websites mentioned are worth the visit on a lazy sunday
