There is a strong need for a knowledge of flash when producing a website. Even though I haven’t yet learned flash in class, I’m very excited about it so I can be able to use it in the final project. The relevance of this technology as I see it, is to make things easier for the viewers. Flash is often used in maps to bring up information about the locations. It is also used to break down harder concepts. Basically, interactive elements help readers connect to the stories and understand the issues. This is an example of animated infographics. Rather than a news package, flash animation allows a viewer to take in bits of information at her own pace. Also, the updates can be ongoing.
Flash adds a lot to websites. For example, flash helps to make websites look cool at the opening of a page. Also, the photo slideshows add a lot to stories to use the voices of those in the photos for a greater impact. The interactive elements are important for viewer response. It is important to realize that there are different ways to tell a story in an online format. The most important thing to do is to pick apart the story and decide in what form will tell the story in the best way. Flash adds to the experience.
