i think anything that diverts from a good grid and a flexible open site that lets you browse through all your works with max 2 clicks is contra productive. 95% of your traffic and attention is gonna come through the backdoor when someone hotlinks one of your jpgs up through ffffound or something similar. so you better make it avalible and make a kickas flash site to put in your portfolio instead of bloating all youve done in some flash frame =)
- 0% of traffic will come from fffound if you decide to make your site in flash, no?mtgentry

Jeez, flash folios...
Such a bore...
I don't want to see a flash site...
I just want to see the work...
in a simple and well structured site...
with no distractions...Unless it really is justified, I just think people who have created a flash portfolio are just trying to dress up what is probably not very good work...
anyway... I gotta get on - got a flash portfolio to build...
;-P

You can find some nice sites here, most of the sites are flash:
http://www.designcharts.com- Cool. Our own mimeartist is #40 currently on the list.Complexfruit

- Our own?mimeartist_limited
- well QBN affiliated...sorry mimeComplexfruit
- only joking with you.mimeartist_limited

i agree AVAVA that some sites out there are just designed to help dress up what is pretty crap. However, I think a well designed site that is original to anything else out there on the web has a very good chance of being remembered or even bookmarked by the user. I want something that shows to my employer my creativity in design.....and uniqueness I think is key.

Do it HTML, Flash is tedious as hell for portfolios, and most of the flash ones these days are either so wankey you need 40 mins to piss about with them or they're so simple they would have been nicer as pure html

- Yep.
Good advice will fall on deaf ears.AVAVA

a Flash portfolio is pretty goddamn relevant when answering job postings for Flash designers/developers. Just sayin.

- Try to think of your site as navigation to the real flash jobs that you have done.AVAVA

why are people so stupid that they think a flash portfolio can't look just as boring as as html if they want it to?
- mine sure doesmagnificent_ruin
- i hate it. why didn't you do it in ajax you loser?skt
- I hate ajaxmagnificent_ruin
- and I h8 h8ersmagnificent_ruin
- and the web in generalmagnificent_ruin
- me too. i've picked a cracking career.skt
- hmmm. it's not really about boring, it's about ease of navigating the actual work without the theatrics.AVAVA

my html site will look like flash.

in fact i am now recreating the entire 2advanced Prophecy using only html, jquery and a few animated gifs..

i'm gonna stick in my old flash folio http://detrus.nivr.net/space/thu… and watch how many people stay more than 30 seconds cuz I can't track the bounce rate
- needs a bigger scrollbar!!skt
- make your window smaller and it will scale with it!!!! loooolPupsipu
- i really like your current site by the way. except of the sound effects.skt
- whoa the sound effects are like the best part, they create this amazing experience design adventurePupsipu
- but my current site sucks balls because it's hard to find stuff cuz there are no thumbnails, people can't see the tiny little menu below everything either. functionality is worse than on my 2Advanced site, so people leave very fastPupsipu

dunno why people slatter 2advanced.
its always over the top but fuck it they do what they do really well.maybe it aint our cup of tea but ive yet to see a designer on here who can make graphics like the backgrounds they have in there website
- a designer that talks the talk that isWeLoveNoise
- i reckon i could if i set my mind to it. why in the fuck i would ever want to is another matter though.skt
- think u missed the point
the site is now over 3 years old and isnt a bad example of flash or design. i'm sure if they did it again - it wud be betterWeLoveNoise - would be betterWeLoveNoise
- technically 2 advance has always been really slick. it's just the techno aztec aesthetic i really dislike.skt
- I couldn't do it, but I wouldn't want to, either. It's good old fashioned bad taste, like paintings on black velvetmagnificent_ruin
- and the auto kern init shite.skt
- and the overuse of little componentsmimeartist_limited
- there have always been highly skilled people with really bad taste in all walks of lifemagnificent_ruin
- it reminds me of rave flyers in the early 90's. except back then i thouht raindbows coming out of pyramids and women with metal tits were awesome.skt
- metal tits were awesome.skt
- fair do - the design isnt my taste either but that aside it makes a change from the simple gridded sites i see everydayWeLoveNoise
- i remeber their first site with the moving sky. FUCK ME that was badWeLoveNoise
- 2 advanced is different, its not really about their portfolio..
Its an expression of who they are - and they are over the top flashy animated goodness, no problem with that
