Are you into Flash and love to see some serious eye candy when it comes to those professional design studio Flash sites? Well, I went through some older SOTW submissions and found a few that I'd ike to share with you folks. First up we have Delpadre Visual Productions with their awesome spacial experience, then check out the personal portfolio of the talented Haavard Holmaas. Next up is a really cool typography interface at Jimmy Cahill's site and the extremely talented work of Ilan Dray over at the Ikod Design Studio.

For those of you that are SEO hounds, you have GOT to check out this beginner guide to SEO at seomoz.org and for the people that hate to cut out renders and images, check out psdspy.com for PSDs of images already cut out and ready to use!

If you're looking for a new and professional level design community to hang out at, check out the all new artverve.com site that was just launched this month.

Enjoy and see you next post!

Thanks for posting Faken :D

Some of that flash is Awesome! Takes a while to load though :P.

I must say that the content of Seomoz.org is very good and well written. I've only had a glance but it definitly has some great content in there!

I wish those sites would focus less on cool flashy eye candy and little bit more on my needs. Did it REALLY need to resize my browser window to a point where I can't resize it. Did it really need to play obnoxous techno music while the animation gets horribly chopped on my 3 year old iBook. Do the sites really need to have a spash page telling me to turf off pop up blockers and have the site open in a new window? Do they really need to have innovative navigation that's next to impossible to decipher whats a link and whats not? Why don't these guys pick up a copy of "Don't Make me Think" or another usability title?

Ok, enough negitivaty, eh? I was feeling the last flash site, a tasteful mix of flash and HTML for a fresh site. I don't know the first thing about SEO so that site should be helpful to me.

Thanks for the links Faken. :D
