Inspiration Juices

FindR
A very slick application that gained it's place on the FlashForwardConference's Finalist on the application category. What really suprises me that this stands out from the normal Flickr Flash application is that it's one of the most usable one yet. But of course it's very personal on how a person perceive usability. But on a general view, it's one that gives you for what you want to find. And of course, to develop an application like this doesn't really need you to take a rocket science test. Just the matter of patience and will to learn. Recently, I've been looking up to connecting Flash with XML from a remote server, well, and it does seem to be moving towards a positive direction. If you like to find more of this kind of application, and if you wonder why Flickr are so popular among developers, is because Flickr, themself, are very supportive in having their Flickr API accessible to people to create new innovations. And of course, having Flickr to provide such tool is not enough to start off with, you'll have no idea where to kickstart at, visit KevinLuck's blog and you'll find that he actually developed FlashR that would really help you to make stuff that similar like Findr.

To certain designer that might it too seriously when finding source of inspiration. But somehow, I bound to find this very interesting piece of Flash that might appear to be redundant to a lot of people. But I'd find it is interesting and i praise the person's effort in putting it up. You might not know that by looking at it, you might find it to be your next project's biggest inspiration. A lot of more crazy, funky stuff can be found from ODK. But isn't everything that sounds and looks original came from an existing idea, but with a twist?

Being a creative studio on it's own. This site bears it's light not on the actionscripting, but it's portfolio. I was amazed to know that this person designed the cover for one famous Chinese Pop Singer, Faye Wong. And the work displayed within the site are very diversed. Good inspiration juice.

Recently, I've read an interesting book about Math Creativity in Flash, i'd recommend anyone that want's to advance in A/S to read it. And then I bound to found this kewl writer that was writing about Iteration (Some kind of movement that being scripted by you, and it runs by itself continously).A simple but Math-packed site. You'll find various experimentation on ActionScript possibility. Check out the place where he worked at, Relevare.
