Disappointing Designs

Written by Paul Hood


Fred Showker catches a line from a Pete Seeger classic, “Where have allrepparttar flowers gone?” His flowers arerepparttar 107261 web designers that he thinks are going extinct. He laments onrepparttar 107262 seeming “decay” inrepparttar 107263 art of web designing and says gone arerepparttar 107264 designers who made a difference inrepparttar 107265 making of web designs and who provided quality sites forrepparttar 107266 people to visit.

Showker argues that he has seen a decline inrepparttar 107267 quality of web sites basing from reviews he made of several sites. From his statements, I can see that he is well-versed in making analyses of web sites and is a credible source of information. Many sites came under his meticulous scrutiny and not one was spared.

Some ofrepparttar 107268 sites that he revisited were dead and others that are still up failed to meetrepparttar 107269 expected standards. The changes he saw came as a shock since he did not expect many of them to go downrepparttar 107270 drain.

Riddler.com was one site that Showker said proved to be a disappointment as it took out of considerationrepparttar 107271 reading pleasure ofrepparttar 107272 reader and instead took on a much commercialized look. Webshaker.com is similar as well.

Ben & Jerry’s ice cream was another site that was axe by Showker. Indeed, I was surprise to see a content inrepparttar 107273 site aboutrepparttar 107274 Black History month with Martin Luther King Jr.’s picture in it. I have to agree with Fred on this one as I see no relevance ofrepparttar 107275 content in promoting B&J’s ice cream. Perhaps there is an underlying purpose for that but I honestly don’t see its bearing here.

New Features of Macromedia Flash MX

Written by Maricon Williams


Inrepparttar times of yore, videos all overrepparttar 107260 web are quite disappointing. It is like delivering a mediocre performance to annoyed expectators. But then, a transition fromrepparttar 107261 passé made a dramatic exposure. The release of Macromedia’s Flash MX marked a leap inrepparttar 107262 development of rich content productivity and stability of video acrossrepparttar 107263 Internet. It proves that these things can still be made superior and outstanding.

Video compression is one ofrepparttar 107264 booming segments inrepparttar 107265 online industry. The outcome of full-screen, full-motion video all overrepparttar 107266 Net is improving everyday. This will gradually wreckrepparttar 107267 pessimism towards online media. I agree that productive media isrepparttar 107268 key to online advertising growth. I also believe that Macromedia Flash will turn out to berepparttar 107269 industry’s spine to hold everything in order. Macromedia will not changerepparttar 107270 given fact in just a spur ofrepparttar 107271 moment however, this will ultimately result in a richer user experience. The increasing demand for rich media will give way torepparttar 107272 development of video codec algorithms which includes compression and decompression.

Flash’s greatest ability is to deliver animated images in a vector format. It means thatrepparttar 107273 file size is not dependent onrepparttar 107274 image quality. Vectorization now becomes subordinate torepparttar 107275 necessity to have rich and reliable content. Flash works with video by allowing developers to import a video file. Thenrepparttar 107276 file is manipulated, scaled, rotated, skewed, masked and made interactive using scripting. Video format supported by QuickTime or Windows Media Player together with MPEG, DV (Digital Video), MOV (Quick Time), and AVI can be imported.
