Gatorade - New Flash Website

I've been having some problems with most Flash websites lately. It seems as every good Flash site must take 5 and a half years to load. What's going on? Super cool and fast loading websites as the ones we have seen before can be done by anyone who knows what he/she is doing with Adobe's software.

Well, thanks God I found Gatorade's new website. Alpha video, fullscreen video, amazing and simple designs for a bunch of completely different sections. And all of them load at the speed of light. That's what I call a winner.

I've found this website to be so amazing that this will be the first time I post more than one pic for a listing. Gatorade's website allows you to select the different drink flavors the brand offers, rotate the bottle and see valuable information about it. It also lists (with video and images) each and every athlete the brand sponsors. Pure joy.

Best Flash web sites - Nokia eco friendly

Ok, this is how this blog works: we go from posting simple but beautiful fast loading websites to quite big 3D stuffed websites. And in this last scenario we've got Nokia's "Evolve" Flash site.

Nokia Evolve is an eco-friendly cellphone, made up of 80% recycled materials and with a small amount of energy use. Beautiful site for a beautiful product.

Best Flash web designs - Siglo Comunicacion

Ok, just grabbed this one from QB Media's blog. If you dont know QB Media by now they just do some awesome, simple and fast loading websites.

Siglo's (seems to be some kind of advertising agency or book publisher...sorry but the site is only in spanish) website design is beautiful, with a simple and effective interface and some cool parallaxing effect going on each and every page. It has some nice features such as section previews and changeable backgrounds which look really nice and build some kind of pleasent atmoshpere. I repeat, the site is very simple: you won't find crazy After Effects backgrounds or other eye candy elements, but, somehow, it looks modern and works in many levels.

Best Flash Websites - Adobe Special Flash Demo

The launch of the new Flash CS4 (and the rest of the creative suite) brings to mind the special demo they did for the CS3 launch. This was made using just Adobe products, keep that in mind, no 3D software here! So everything was done using just Photoshop, After Effects and Flash. Truly amazing and unbelivable!

Best Flash Websites....Update!!

Design, design, design, eat. Design, design, design, sleep. Repeat.

That pretty much sums my life for the last 6 months, and, oh my god, it looks as it will go on. As you can imagine I haven't had much time to look around for nice inspirational Flash sites...BUT I made a little time for myself, and this is what I found out:

Let your worries go...no, really, you should, but it is also the name of a beautiful website. Although it's just a viral marketing site it stands out of the crowd for:

a- Beautiful Design.

b- Great Action Scripting.

c- Perfect use of video and well done Matte.

d- Nice Parallax effect.

So, enjoy it as I did...one more for my best flash website list.

Best Flash websites - Simone Moreno

Ok, I know I haven't post in a while but I've got A LOT of work lately. Another reason for this lack of posts was I wasn't able find a website which really impressed me....luckily I came across brazilian/swedish artist Simone Moreno's site. Beautiful design, simple but effective Action Scripting and nice picture treatment for the galleries. Only thing I would change would be the small space and readability of the text, but it's a beautiful flash website anyway, good work

Best Flash sites - Red Interactive

This must be the most amazing piece of Flash work I've seen in years. Red Interactive is a US multimedia agency with offices in Los Angeles and Salt Lake City. Its portfolio includes some big names such as National Geographic, HBO, Sony Pictures, Warner Brothers and the NFL.

During the visit to their site you can choose to particpate in the flash-based chat "room", or should I say "world". To do so you have to customize your character and then start interacting with the whole flash universe made around the site. You can walk, fly, run, dance, fight (ctrl+shift) and of course talk to other users, interactivity at its most! An amazing use of flash and a beautiful design make this site a must visit, these guys have started a new revolution.
