RE: FLASH: OT...tactful wording

[ant]

hi carl


thanks for brightening up my day with that. That really was amazing.


I think Laura is being really objective, and if you can do that, then do.

Personally though, I think you need to produce your own alternative and

apologise but say you really weren't taken with theirs and took it upon

yourself to suggest an alternative direction. Maybe make a few typos so

there's something of yours they can criticise...


good luck

Subject: FLASH: OT...tactful wording



How do you tactfully tell your boss and a coworker that the animation they

have created and wish to use on a web site is...uh...horrid.  I would

describe it as being much like the old Ford intro, a perfect example of the

"bad" uses of Flash.  I have posted it here, since seeing is the only way to

get the full effect of its "ugliness".  They say they were going for a

futuristic look, I would call it the first grade art project look.  <A

unnecessary,  I just haven't been able to look in to all of the details,  I

just know that this can not be posted on the web site.
