try the mouseover the little sign with a heart, it will change the background of the website.

flash site #9: virtual experience of art crafts exhibition

This is the last day of Easter Holiday.

Along with some of my friends, I had a short trip to philippine.

It once confused me for a long time that why my GPA in 2nd semester is always lower than the 1st semester. Then it came to myself that the 2 holidays in 2nd semester managed to ruin my study schedule completely.

love traveling is not a bad thing.However,traveller is not an existing occupation.I would be able to travel around the world and visit every place.

"virtual visit"
the alternate way of appreciating the resort.
it has more details than I could ever expect.

these days,the virtual tour has been used in the museum,art exhibition and resorts.

How I wish that every hotel could operate a virtual visit website online.then, we could know how convenient are the facilities before we book a room.


"Louise XIV" Versailles exhibition
         http://www.louisxiv-versailles.fr/index.html

the bad side is that details will consume bytes.

other similar sites offer great vitural visit.

flash site # 8 : Alan Chan Design Company

Alan Chan Design Company

http://www.alanchandesign.com/acd/main.html



this is the website running by Alan Chan.

This website doesn't have some cool graphics or magic like flash animation embedded in. However, the navigation bar and the flash transition matches well with the style of this website.

As later I explore in this website, I found out that this design company has rather diverse clients, from fashion brand like crocodile,to the popular chain restaurant Maxim.

comparing with some fancy flash sites, this website is rather conservative.



however,this website is comfortable and easy to explore with its logically navigation map.

flash site #7 : Snicker

Happy easter!

The mood of holiday started far before it really comes.

I have tried some of the special edition chocolates.When enjoying the delicious chocolates, I did pay attention to the chocolates markets, which is sharing by MAR's, Hershey's and Cadbury. while,certainly, there are always some top and super-expensive chocolate brands,such as Godiva.However, most of the money spent in chocolates is shared by the three common chocolates brands

I always expect that their websites will be as sweet and enjoyable as their candy.

The snicker: http://www.snickers.com/default.htm




The preloader of the website is peeling off the bag of Snicker.

TV spot of Snickers with the slogan:"you are not you when you are hungry" is very very funny.

However,as a potential customer, I would like to know about its history and nutrition data.

The Snicker was invented in 1930.Snickers with such a long history really surprised me. If it is put on its website,it will certainly be impressive.



Finally, this website to me,seems needing more information to enrich and support the website.The website has a beautifully constructed structure. however, when I want to explore deeper,I found it too simple and straight forward.

flash site #6 : Canvas-poster shopping site


                          Canvas: poster shoppping site

                         https://www.canv-as.com/


information: Canvas is an innovative shopping poster site where you can create your customerized products that express your expecation,decor and lifestyle.

does the Canvas really works in that way? I would like to check how it functions.


Preloader

Websites embedded with flash is always facing the problem of loading.
Creative designed preloader will catch the attention and raise the expectation and patience of visitors to wait for another one or two minutes.

The preloader scene, with dynamic text showing the loading percentage is boring and common.what makes it distinctive is the interactive company logo, which rotates, moves with the cursor. the movements is smooth.





entering the site, there is a house with 3d interior space.




you can choose one location to put the poster. the palate can change the color of the wall.
click on the poster, you can change the graphic. most of the available graphic are illustrator based design. 


the size and background color of the poster can also be changed.


the one thing that makes the process not as pleasure is that I have to drag the graphic to the place of poster. It would be certainly convenient if "click" is used here.


the "customerize poster" as the Canvas claimed is stereotype.

I like the graphic.

It has two navigation. one is the navigation bar at the bottom.
The other one has been intergrated into the main graphic at the center.



TV set represent the video, printer represent the print.
