Coming back towards the mid


Spam Recycling
Who doesn't hate receiving spam? A project initiated by EnBW, we had enough hearing from recycling bottles, cans, aluminium cans and stuff...but...spam? Why instead of trashing away all of your spam mail, why not participate and make the world a beautiful place? Yes, your spam mail can create really nice artwork, logon to see.


Jan Peiro Communication Design
It's interesting to see how flexible this website can be, being catered towards two different distinct audience, his client. With both option to choose from, both high and low bandwidth, design are altered and file size are reduced greatly though the content stays the same. This is where the power of XML comes in, and of course that is from my point of view on how I intepre the site is being done, possibly could be done the other way, but this is what XML integration really comes in and powerful, which you have one set of standard content but you'll able to socket it with different design


Tom on the web
Another Flash tutorial goodness, but this is catered specially towards FLV, though you'll find other speciality within that site. Look at how and what can be possibly done with your FLV plus with the filters.



Ashtray Mouth
Of course, myflashportal is not the one portal that talks about good design and methodology but, we can discuss about how effectively one thing is being applied towards a subject, for an instance, i guess it's good for once in a while for an awareness campaign towards anti-smoking campaign, but how effective is this? As usual which i always saw around my country that promotes it using the 'scary-pictures' which has larva brains, and a lot of disgusting pictures, but well, still, i'm not really sure if that is really working. Look on the other side, there are always debate on "why do they pay for killing themself?". Interesting thought.


The Flash Blog
Hey, if you're interested in some interested inside-scoop of what's gonna come next on Flash, look no more to keep yourself hook onto this site always. And if you know, the guy behind gotoAndLearn? Yes, it's the same author, just except to feed yourself with really goodness of flash tips and tricks, especially on the really neat alpha mask tutorial. And also, you'll find some Breeze presentation on filters in flash8.


Yutaka Loves London
This has to be one of the blue moon i've seen any site providing tour to a tourist attraction this way. Being in love with one place is one question, but to make a site out of it and to present and introduce to other foreign visitor as you're the resident there is what makes it unique. I once heard and I still believe that..."content is...king"



Forgotten War
Being in the midst of war of commercialism doesn't always take you far if you only think of digging up cashes from your beloved clients and consumer's pocket, but as what Pill & Pillow are moving toward are different and seem to gained a lot of momentum. Forgotten war is one unique site that acts as an awareness central to keep people aware of what's happening on the world outside, in Congo. This site certainly reminds me of a site back then that is done by the good guys from Leo Burnett Malaysia on Pakistan's war (correct me if i'm wrong, i have bad memory). I'll try to dig the URL to see if I still have it. It resembles quite a bit in a way that both of the concept/contribution from the user will form the shape of the 'country' that is under fire, while unveiling a little bit here and there of the suffering people. And it has also came across my mind that the navigation has seem to go trendy from an experimental one. Remember the one that yugop did for the xbox360 campaign in japan (i guess that site went offline)? and leoburnett canada?Zoom in Zoom out.
