"Personally, I would rather be boiled in hot oil while my fingernails are pulled out through my nostrils than watch a flash intro." - Mario B.
I stand by that statement, but that is purely the opinion of myself as an end user. I know that we, as designers, are trying to push the edge on stuff and there are a lot of Flash junkies (some amazing ones actually); however, I believe that there is a time and place for Flash. A flash intro keeps me X seconds away from what I want to see and Flash doesn't work on my iPhone. Chances are I'm not your target audience. Restaurant sites drive me nuts, and those sites that are completely done in Flash, but the navigation is so useless that I just give up. Realtors drive me batty too. As an interaction designer, your goal is to not give the opportunity for users to give up. It all depends on your site though. There is no right answer, there's just a best answer - and it's up to you to find it. -- Mario Bourque Web: www.mariobourque.com Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Twitter: www.twitter.com/mariobourque ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
