This site shows various art works of Miki's. I particularly like the vector-based garphic. Miki is a fashion illustrator who is based in New York. Miki's textiles have worked their way from Japan to Harley Nichols.

My initial idea is creating some patterns or garphics (vector based) for the spirit money. Those patterns will be used as a background.





Flash, Evolution and the Web: Part 2

"Flash also demonstrated its power as an application development tool, with site like Looplaps (http://www.looplabs.com) who used back-end database integartion to run this extremely popular music mixing tool that would go on to frequent a number of sites where users could mix tracks , upload vocals and much more"

"Flash has always given the opportunity for creatives to fulfil their ideas".

"lot of online magazines use a page-turn effect and whilst it now seems like such an obvious idea, you have to wonder if clever individuals, the likes of Perfect Fools and their first web presence (http://www.perfectfools.com/book) that started this new navigation method.."

We had seen a lot of very innovative and progressive ideas pushed through Flash but when Who's We (http://www.whoswestudios.com/flashsite.html) unleashed their attitude in May 2002 , we know something new would take off…"

"2002 proved to be an amazing year for taking Flash Forward. Brands such as Fred Ferry (http://www.fredperry.com) took the leap and pretty much gambled on running their whole e-commerce operation through a Flash website. Fred Perry's seamless e-commerce application, still online today, proved how robust and secure Flash could be in the online environment".
