Wii Sports Resort — Flash Ad Campaign

· Comment

Pret­ty cool flash ad that was up on the Fan­dan­go web­site con­sist­ing of a leader­board and a 300x250 on the side. There’s also a trans­par­ent over­lay between the two for sure to have the ani­ma­tion look­ing like how it is. Nice imple­men­ta­tion. Kudos to the cre­ative team.

Here it is.

SUMO Paint — A Flash-based Photoshop Clone

SUMO Paint

Dope­ness. SUMO Paint is a free image edit­ing soft­ware that gives you the oppor­tu­ni­ty to cre­ate, edit and com­ment images online with pow­er­ful tools and lay­er sup­port. I tried it for a quick bit, and I bare­ly noticed any lag using it; then again, I did­n’t have so much lay­ers yet.

Being that its a Flash-based application/tool, that’s a whole lot of user-sup­port and mar­ket share. That’s remark­able as Design­ers and non-Design­ers a like can use it whether they’re away from their work­sta­tions or just don’t have Pho­to­shop or appli­ca­tions like it at their dis­pos­al. Some of the fea­tured I’m dig­ging are: Shape Trails, Sym­me­try Tool, and it’s sup­port for Cooliris’ 3D Gallery (for­mer­ly Pix­el­Lens).

Any­ways, go check it out and let your mind free. You may access the appli­ca­tion direct­ly via sumopaint.com/app/

Since writ­ing about the Adobe CS4 live web broad­cast a cou­ple of days ago, I was for­tu­nate enough to final­ly view it. Enjoy!

You may view the video at a high­er res­o­lu­tion via http://tv.adobe.com/#vi+f1556v1715. You may also find oth­er relat­ed videos on that page with regards to CS4. The ones I am inter­est­ed in see­ing would prob­a­bly be the fol­low­ing:

All I can say is that this is going to be one very nice Suite, and should be fun to play/work with.
