FLASH

Flash is a program that designers use to give their website a bit of personality. Designers use them to help the user have a better experience/ a more personal experience with their page, rather than something that they just get board with.
http://www.typorganism.com/ was the first site that i went to that used flash. This site had some pretty awesome features. The main page was a series of buttons that led you to another page. There was one page that was all text, but when you first went to it there was nothing there and i was like uh hellooooooo, then i moved the mouse and the text came on the page and every time you moved it there was a ripple like water. another aspect of this site that was cool was a page that used all type to create an image of a mans face, or a pic of a cat, or Barack Obama's face. There was a lot more but your going to have to check out the site for yourself!http://www.reformschoolrules.com/ This site was pretty cool as well. They added a little bit of doodles to give the page a more personal feel. Some things were continuously going on the page and then there were things that you ran your mouse over and little icons would pop up.
http://www.theadventureschool.com/ The last site i went to had a little animation for each different thing you could check out about the page. and something that was interesting was that you could have all the little animations playing at one time.
