My Flash sites! Vauxhall Collective

I did a lot of the little Flash animations on this site which inhabit the Flash environment. It was great fun creating and animating elements such as the cow with subtle yet realistic gestures - such as having a fly buzz around his head and his ears twitch in reaction! The hot air balloon was also a lovely challenge as it has to be redrawn in vector in Illustrator by myself to cut down on file size of heavier PNG's. It was well worth it tho - they look fab!

My CV

My Flash sites! Best Days of our Lives

I designed and built this Flash promo site recently for a university reunion event in London. The site is based on my illustration of a graduate "party boy" utalising his features as elements of Flash animation i.e. buddy holly glasses used as loader and then as a spinning transition later. The mouth of the character also open to reveal the image gallery. Take a look at the site on the below link now to see how i used Flash to create a fun and exciting club night web site!

Flash Inspiration! Honda Blue Skies site

I recently visited the new Honda Blue Skies site and thought it was fantastic. The colours are very vivid and the design is done in a very modern Flash style, making use of large images and creating a free navigation system so far improved and better than the constraints and standards of regular HTML design. Great site and great inspiration for any of my future and present projects. Good to see Flash being used in such a fresh and funky way. The colour palette is more CBBC than Honda! But it gives the brand a cool fresher and younger look and feel.

My Flash sites! My new Flash folio site is finally online!!!!

http://www.david-healey.co.uk/

David-healey.co.uk is a full flash portfolio using a liquid layout to always have the header, container, and footer always at exact positions whatever the users browser window. I developed david-healey.co.uk as a full flash site to make the most of my knowledge of flash outside the constraints of a client brief. Which has been fantastic! I can design and animate according to my own style and trends. As the site david healey.co.uk is full flash i designed and animated in the mindset of a flash animator to make the most use of rollovers and interaction. Flash is such a fun tool to use and it's been great to utalise my design, animation and code knowledge for something unique and indepentant like this. Click the below link to view my site now and let me know what you think.
