I specialize in Seattle flash design and development including Design, Animation and Actionscript.
In 1998 Flash sites were little more than simple moving graphics and a sound track. I was lucky enough to find a client who needed a trade show demonstration built in Flash. The technology was surprisingly easy to use and I had the demo built in a few days. Many Graphic Designer, have branched out in recent years and Flash has been a natural fit. Flash allows unprecidented control of animations and motion graphics in an online environement.
Flash became a large part of my work at OverDrive Media. We used Flash Design for Trade show demontrations, web sites, training applications, software interface modeling and websites. Flash started out as a tool for the Internet but has quickly gained popularity in many areas.
Seattle Flash Design
Flash may be a technology but it still requires artistic skills to put together a professional product. Flash Designers and especially Seattle Flash Designers need to understand the product to its fullest. I usually create a storyboard before I begin a project. I transfer my storyboard to startic web graphics and only when I have a good understanding of the finished product do I begin to work in Flash.
Today Flash Design is no longer a path to instant wealth and a picture in fast company. The Internet has grown and matured, relieving many of lucrative jobs and investments. The good news is that people still need highly qualified geeks. I concentrate on building Flash sites that use the newest technologies .net, php and FlashMX. I also have 8 years of experience that have created my Flash design goals and philosophy.
Flash Design Goals:
1. Create a beautiful product
2. Usability
3. Fullfill customer fuctionality
4. Surpass customer expectations
5. Download fast
Flash Design Philosophy:
I limit the number and type of clients that I accept. Having has some success in the past few years I prefer to focus my efforts on projects that I can lead to solid profitability. More than anything I want my clients to succeed. Internet success can only be built through a combination of technology, marketing strategy, and understanding of the process. Despite what the SPAM in your inbox may say there is no quick and easy road to profitability. The surest way to achieve success is to start with a realistic goal and follow a plan to achieve that goal.
