Customer Reviews & Comments
As befits a topic of computer graphics and illustration, the book is written in high quality glossy paper, with many high resolution colour figures. These are necessary to drive home the lessons on Flash usage. Each chapter is contributed by an experienced graphics designer. Who shares tips on how best to use Flash for various purposes; typically somewhat specialised. Some authors use examples of websites that they have built, which can help your learning. In some instances, these are personal websites. Some readers undoubtedly are pondering whether to have their own, and the decontructionist examples here could aid you. The text should not be used as an introduction to Flash. It assumes a good prior working knowledge. It doesn't waste your time going over this.
