RE: FLASH: FW: [wwwac] teaching good design through bad design

[Bradshaw, Brian]

Thank you for your thoughts. I had not looked at it that way.


Does any one else have thoughts on why it is bad Flash design?

My main criticism would be that their use of flash is pointless. What on

their site highlights the capabilities of flash? further, the general design

and layout is mediocre. they could have done a much better job - more

intuitive - and much more user friendly. also, the fact it cost $1mil is

absurd....
