what i meant by the comment "some of us don't need others to motivate them" was that you don't necessarily have to be working full time someplace to motivate you to do good work. You can increase your skill set doing personal or freelance work as well. Plus if all he's doing right now is making flash animations all day long it sounds kinda stagnant anyway.
i know (especially right out of school) that the difference between 25K and 40K is pretty big. It'll allow you to purchase a kick ass machine for home where you can spend time truly developing your skill set on something other than animations (perhaps flash/php/asp interaction, 3D, etc). Also, what I said earlier i still stand by as well. Working with developers (so long as you pay some sort of attention to what they do) will only help with your understanding of the web medium.
but hey, do what you think will make you happiest in the end. Personally, I'd go with the raise.

canuck - i am recently out of school and took the higher paying 'not-so-fun' design job. I think take the job if the $ are important to you. But know once you take the job for money, its gonna start always being about the money. I hate the bland, uncreative shit I have to do at work - but taking a job at a more creative company at this point would mean less $$. . .and it would be real hard to go back to that. . .
