Website research

http://www.2advanced.com/

My uncle introduced me to this website, he was associated somehow with the creators. This is a flash based website that is used as a portfolio for a web design company. The site has many great links to websites they have created for large corporate clients. It’s quite nice, but with websites I prefer HTML/CSS over flash any day.

In my opinion this website is quite a good example of the integration between art and design that is found throughout the web. On one hand, the authors of the website want to express an element of artistic prowess in order to stand out, ‘be individual’ and bottom line, to gain more work with large ‘trendier’ and younger brands such as Nintendo. Whilst on the other hand there are many strong design elements which express and accentuate the companies technical ability. I don’t think there exists any pure design or pure art websites, but just different mixes between the two.

On another note, as for an explanation for why I have not been updating my blog…I had very large technical issues with my home PC. I had to replace its motherboard, CPU and transfer everything into a case that fit my new motherboard. Week long headache…..

edit; I just realised this was for some reason published private….
