Flash
Flash“Aaa-aaaaaaaaaaah!
Saviour of the universe!”
Jeff Croft:
“Flash speaks [a designer’s] language. It's visual in nature and has similar tools and UI to Photoshop, Illustrator, and their ilk.”

Narrative
Subtraction: the story so farsubtraction.com/archives/2008/0114_the_story_so.php
Khoi Vinh:
“My complaint, right now, is that the majority of storytelling that happens on the Web is based in the interactively rich environment made possible by Flash.”
“Not enough Web standards-minded designers are thinking narratively in the way that our Flash-fluent colleagues are.”

Narrative
Narrative is not just about backward and forward or next and previous. It is about an evolving structure, problems and solutions, and a continuous sense of movement.

We need to unify these two branches by embracing design ‘freedoms’ from print design in the Web Standards world.

Narrative is lacking in non-Flash web design and we need to challenge our current aesthetics.

Impressing is not just done by good design; it’s done by brave design.
