I'm not against Flash, and I love the work that people such as Joshua Davis do.
I love doing logos. I've been a graphic artist all my life.
My graphic design skills are superior to a lot of other things I can do; I use it as a part of my tool kit.
I always loved both 'Breakout' and 'Asteroids' - I thought they were really good games. There was another game called 'Tempest' that I thought was really cool, and it represented a really hard technology. It's probably one of the only colour-vector screens that was used in the computer graphics field at that time.
But now with technology I could sit down and do a bunch of character drawings and scan them into a computer, and the computer using my exact style could bring it into life, where it would have been edited by various human beings before.
The productivity and expressiveness of Flash remain advantages for the Web community even as HTML advances.
Let's get real: the .GIF format is outdated and is not really that great for the modern web anymore. It was created in 1989, and it wasn't even created for the purpose of animation.
My undergrad degree was in graphic design, and I don't work in that anymore, but I obviously do a lot of design and editing and Photoshopping, and the Adobe Creative Cloud is essential!
Bitmap display is media compatible with dot matrix or laser printers.
I like the idea of taking three-dimensional objects and making them two-dimensional so that they look like cartoons.
