It's in a FLASH~ not really...

Flash design is a very helpful tool for enhancing your web page! It allows you to be more creative, organized and ability to impress your viewers with different graphics. In our webpage we are using flash buttons that start out dark blue but turn a murky green to represent flood water- so aesthetics play a part in flash- Other advantages include smooth transitions between pages and flash can make links to other pages VERY obvious- Flash journalism is practically just starting and the breakthroughs are only beginning with what you can and will be able to do- The only disadvantage I see is that it takes a while to manipulate the flash program to get exactly what you want on a page- In oour groups page we used buttons which when clicked on represented murky flood water color over a dark sea blue- This took a long time for one of our group members which leads me to believe its a difficult process- I am excited to continue on with flash and look forward to gaining more experience with it- I have seen some cool things it can do and hope to one day become a flash expert because it is just another great addition to this thing we call convergence journalism!
