Members fuzzinator Posted December 20, 2006 Members Share Posted December 20, 2006 You can learn an awful lot crawling through Mike's site. It needs a reorganization though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs a reorganization though. He doesn't use flash or anything fancy. For that I think his site is perfect. You just open up a page and read.

Members jay3265E Posted December 20, 2006 Members Share Posted December 20, 2006 Mike's site is an acquired taste. It certainly has a ton of info but it breaks just about every rule of information design and user experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every site that uses Flash is the worst site I have ever used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members angus_old Posted December 20, 2006 Author Members Share Posted December 20, 2006 yeah flash sucks. it's like tv on the web. i like sites with links scattered around the text, that's what hypertext is supposed to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fuzzinator Posted December 20, 2006 Members Share Posted December 20, 2006 Totally agreed with Flash. But from an info architecture point of view, it could be reorganized to make it easier to find things. There's a lack of hierarchy. Oh jeez, maybe I should leave my work at work.

Members jove Posted December 20, 2006 Members Share Posted December 20, 2006 His site makes you stop and investigate. None of that tv-style satisfaction. It's more like a library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I come from a time when using ctrl+f to search large fields of text was normal, so those issues don't really bother me. I guess much of my love for his site is simply nostalgia for the internet before it became so flashy. And if anyone is keeping score...GET THE {censored}ING IMBEDDED VIDEOS OFF THE FRONT PAGE OF HARMONY CENTRAL. And god bless Adblock for saving me from them whenever I do have to venture to that page.

Members fuzzinator Posted December 20, 2006 Members Share Posted December 20, 2006 In all fairness, you don't see the irresponsible use of Flash that you used to see 5 years ago. Embedded Flash is being used to positive effect all over the place. But people who build their entire website interface in Flash..that's a whole other can of worms.

But people who build their entire website interface in Flash..that's a whole other can of worms. I'll admit that Flash games are a good time, but overall I can't stand it. And there are still some large companies that have entire sites based in Flash. It baffles the mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jay3265E Posted December 20, 2006 Members Share Posted December 20, 2006 In defense of flash and in agreement with Fuzzinator, we definitely live in a day and age where there is far less flash junk on the web and actual examples of enhanced interactive experiences that could not be achieved with javascript, html, xhtml, etc. But now to pull a flip flop, we're probably still about 5 year away from truly seeing the potential of flash as it's still a very limited application/programming language at this point. Better integration of media desperately needed and design schools need to focus more on using Flash as a tool to communicate your message through text, image, animation rather than teaching you how to use the program. Hence bull{censored} flying type for no reason and scaling pics of people's dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
