Web design evolution. Flashy, functional coolness. Flawless integration. MindSmack, soon.
Author: Samuel Feuer
Web design has now truly evolved into an awesome “tool” on the Internet. We can create any type of visual experience for any type of genre. Using flash and sometimes incorporating video with cutting-edge software packages, we can make the highest level of interactive web experiences imaginable. Stuff ya dream about :).
The coolest part about it is that we are still very much in the infancy of the Internet. We continuously work to harness its fascinating power and reach for a connection with everyone in the world . Our newest site, which we hope to launch by Jan 1, 2007, will demonstrate the use of flash, video, Maya and After Effects (and some other cool programs) to create a sick cool, surreal visual and interactive experience that flows with heart pounding sound. Stunning visual effects are quickly followed by cool and even funny movements to make you laugh, and voice overs that we had done by the brilliant Jack Dennis (who many will recognize from hollywood trailers and a ton of commercials - yeah, he’s THAT guy).
Once we launch I will advise on this blog and of course we will give the user the option of entering the new site OR our current site and we will be offering a toned down, basic html site so any user can see what we do, even via cell phone.
All this and a bag of doritos (and a coke or pepsi) are in the works and on the way soon to a computer screen near you. SO GET TICKETS! Front row seats still available…

Lol :) But if you make it flash heavy, be sure to optimize to be of light weight, because you don’t want your dial up users to go lunch while the site downloads for them :p
Looking forward to see it. 2 designs in a few weeks? Wow, you don’t stop :)

There is still dial up? ;)

Yep….unfortunately dial up is still common in rural areas….my parents run off dialup, as they cannot get cable or dsl in their area, which is an hour outside Vegas. What really sucks is its slow dialup…28.8. Try downloading a Windows update at that speed….once it took over 11 hours! Also you have to take into consideration that a lot of people surf with javascript off and flash blocked. And although I love flash (been using it since it was FutureSplash Animator), I don’t believe that flash is the be all, end all of web design. It’s a tool, and like other tools should be used when it is needed. Clients can be the worst at demanding things that aren’t necessary…like “Make the logo BIGGER!”. As the saying goes… “Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should”.
Saying all that….I do like your site. :)

Gives me nightmares just thinking about slow Internet. I wonder when the iPhone will come out directly through apple…

@Sam: LOL….I get nightmares too…just kills me when my dad calls about problems with his computer. I have learned though to tell him he has to bring it to me if he wants updates, troubleshooting etc.

Im heading out of the country this week and will have no access to the internet for 15+ hours since you cannot use the web on a plane. I read last week 1 airline is testing internet on their planes. That would be cool.
I need to inject the internet into my veins :)
Or at least have access anytime, anywhere.
That is the way it should be.
