好看簿 – 留存记忆,分享生活点滴!

我们都曾经是Flickr或者Picassa的忠实用户, 每次旅游回来也都勤勤恳恳的把所有的照片传到网上, 然后把链接发给自己的亲友. 但是不仅他们看这些照片时兴趣索然, 甚至连我们自己都想不起来照片背后发生的事情了,这些照片就放在那里再也没有人翻阅过. 现有照片共享模式的问题到底出在哪儿呢?

我们发现照片作为一种媒介, 最重要的功能在于保存记忆. 只有给照片配上解释才能准确的表达出那些在照片中无法捕捉到的细节. 好看簿存在的意义就在于帮助我们的用户"留存记忆". 对于打字不方便的用户, 我们还提供了在线录音的功能,用户无需安装任何软件就可以把自己对于照片的解释录下来,让远方的亲友能够听见你的声音.

好看簿是……
好看簿是一个帮助用户给自己的照片加上文字或者语音解释的工具.
好看簿是一个能够把照片编辑成故事的工具.
好看簿是一个与亲友分享生活,与同事分享知识的地方.
好看簿不是……
好看簿不是一个仅供职业摄影师展现拍摄技巧的地方.
好看簿不是一个猎艳追奇,发布追求感官刺激的照片的地方.
好看簿不是一个备份照片的网络硬盘.

65个最好的FLASH设计赏析

65个最好的FLASH设计赏析 

With Flash you can do more than just displaying videos. You can create stunning visual experience and offer your visitors incredible user interaction. Although Flash is definitely not the favourite medium for usability and accessibility advocates, it has its advantages and it empowers the Web with functionalities which make it an incredibly interactive medium. With Flash designers can achieve results which simply aren’t possible with (X)HTML and CSS.

The results can be creative, impressive, beautiful and fascinating. Under two conditions: 1) if designers find the right mixture between graphics, animation, video and sound and 2) if designers follow the guidelines of usability and user interaction.

However, since there is a number of things that can go wrong in Flash, it’s easy to get it wrong. In fact, there are thousands of examples where it is the case. In Flash any experiments with navigation and layouts are possible and in most cases it’s extremely hard to find a creative yet intuitive approach. Flash is commonly used by designers, agencies, advertisers and interactive web sites, and not on the sites where simplicity and quick access to information are important.

In this post we present 65 examples of outstanding Flash designs with excellent use of graphics, visual elements, interface design and graphics motion. This showcase (mostly) presents “pure” web designs; we’ve tried to avoid Flash-based games and advertising.

Mistake #1: Use Of Flash To Imitate (X)HTML/CSS

Flash shouldn’t be used if the designer tries to imitate (X)HTML/CSS-presentation. Long texts shouldn’t be embedded in Flash movies, because it’s harder (if possible at all) to work with the embedded text once you need to. Cubamoon is a perfect example of how this is done wrongly. The completeness of the design is enviable, its beauty irresistible, Flash-effects are stunning. However it’s really hard to work with the content of the site. Visitors can’t open links in new windows and the text can’t be selected and copied.

Cubamoon

Flash’s strength lies in its ability to showcase unusual visual solutions, including graphic motion, videos and sound. Make use of them if you really want to achieve a stunning visual design, instead of imitating “conventional” web-presentation.

Mistake #2: Navigation Is Unintuitive

Whatever decisions developers make for the design of their navigation menus, the result has to fulfill three significant requirements: it has to be intuitive, easy-to-use and work properly. Whether the design is Flash-based or not is not that important.

The navigation is possible with the wheel which needs to be dragged. That looks easy, but it isn’t. Where is the grey zone between usability and creativity?

Using too creative approaches designers risk to confuse or even disturb visitors. The freedom for experiments with Flash may lead to unusual solutions which aren’t necessarily understood by all visitors.

Therefore designing in Flash never assume that the navigation can be arbitrarily complex and that visitors will take time to explore it. Users don’t like to wait. And if they don’t understand how the site works they leave. This is simple. And may cost you your money and your efforts. Be willing to compromise. Use creative approaches, but always take your visitors into consideration.

Mistake #3: Pop-Ups Are Still Used

Flash Screenshot

That’s just wrong. Flash designers need to understand that pop-ups shouldn’t be used any longer. Almost every browser blocks opening windows. Tricks and convincing arguments don’t help any more. Use the screen size your visitors use. In most cases you don’t need more.

What is your favorite?

3D-Experience, Video-Effects

Flash Screenshot

OK, this is a shop. But what is happening here, the models are interacting.

Flash Screenshot

This is the visualization of a single by the band SWOD. It is called Waltz 57; the noise is also included in the single. Beautiful graphic motion. Built only with Flash and takes time to load. Better take a look at the video in small resolution.

Flash Screenshot

Excellent graphic motion.

Flip the book to navigate. Impressive 3D-effects.

Visual Elements

Flash Screenshot

Learn how to make a good fir
st impression.

Flash Screenshot

Crazy, interactive, unusual – creative!

The portfolio is presented as a box of chocolates; every item can be picked, previewed and added to the lightbox for later.

Flash Screenshot

This projection screen can be set in motion.

Flash Screenshot

Follow the infinite red line (click on the screen first).

Flash Screenshot

An agency’s web-site doesn’t have to be boring. These guys seem to be hilarious.

Flash Screenshot

Portfolio designed as a… bus.

Flash Screenshot

Excellent photography and visual elements.

The dropping down heaven. Every block is a single drop-down menu.

Minimalistic and beautiful, a portfolio.

User Interface, Navigation

Desktop in Flash. Very elegant solution.

Flash Screenshot

Navigation with colored stickers.

Flash Screenshot

Tremendous graphic design, and beautiful navigation – flashy!

Flash Screenshot

d’strict uses some kind of a bubble-lupe as site’s primary navigation. To navigate you have to drag the bubble upon the layout. And no, the design is based neither upon grids nor upon columns. Explore.

Flash Screenshot

A circular navigation.

Flash Screenshot

Click on the ribbon and it flashes right to you preloading the content you’d like to see.

Flash Screenshot

Drag & Drop navigation

Flash Screenshot

So beautiful, so elegant, so clean and interactive.

Flash Screenshot

What could it be? Well, this is an image gallery. Unusual navigation – you need to be really desperate about your navigation to come up with this method.

Flash Screenshot

Classic, navigation through CDs.

Flash Screenshot

Where is the navigation? On the right side at the top of the layout. To browse through categories you need to “switch a channel” like you would do it in your radio set. Nice idea from Switzerland.

Flash Screenshot

Moon Palace offers a quite imaginative navigation.

Flash Screenshot

Pick the category from a set of discs. Interesting navigation, and also beautiful.

Flash Screenshot

Yammat: Navigation with elastic bands.

Flash Screenshot

Another interesting concept by Limbus from France.

Flash Screenshot

Flash Screenshot

Beautiful navigation and interesting presentation. And we really love big typography.

Flash Screenshot

…we also love lemons by the way.

Experimental

Flash Screenshot

Kashiwa Sato loves color palettes. Do your eyes too?

Flash Screenshot

This damn pencil can make you nervous.

Flash Screenshot

OK, this is scary. And not beautiful. But the use of visual elements on Marilyn Manson’s official web-site is… well, unusual.

Flash Screenshot

Self-portrait of a quite different art.

Flash Screenshot

HiFi Rack.

Flash Screenshot

Pixel-based Flash design created with the attention to smallest details. Unfortunately, there are sometimes too many pixels. Flash keeps the pixels alive – nice approach.

Flash Screenshot

He doesn’t exist. Monoface’s face shuffle. We simply couldn’t resist.

Flash Screenshot

Mohamed Yosry uses Flash in his own way. Not stunning, but unusual.

Flash Screenshot

Kimm Saatveldt presents his portfolio in a rather unusual way. Place the mouse in the middle of the page to navigate.

Flash Screenshot

HBO Voyeur. A classic you really need to have seen — at least once in your life.

Flash Screenshot

An unusual format for portfolio of a web design agency.

Flash Screenshot

Why not? Web-site as a newspaper.

Flash Screenshot

Flash design from the 90s. Old, but still impressive. This text editor software is actually still in use.

B2C商家独立网店,卖否网全面公测!


卖否网是继社区软件技术以及服务供应商康盛创想(Comsenz)在推出免费论坛托管服务平台“我的领地”以及成功收购Ecshop网络商店系统之后的又一个标志性的里程碑;它为广大的商友们提供了一系列一站式的独立网店解决方案。

卖否网是康盛创想(Comsenz)旗下的一个免费网络开店平台,它由基于ECShop网店内核的系统开发,采用多用户管理机制,并提供了免费的二级域名以及网络存储和无限的带宽流量。区别于淘宝以及eBay等传统C2C网络平台,卖否网主要面向那些独立的商家用户提供较为完善的电子商务业务(B2C),从而巧妙的避开了国内电子商务领域中的最大竞争对手阿里巴巴(B2B)以及淘宝(C2C)的狙击。当然,很明显,卖否网的模式也明显区别于当当和卓越的B2C,而从某一个角度来看,卖否网以及和卖否网有着相似性质的“我的网店”似乎更符合Web2.0 UGC(User Generate Content-用户贡献内容)的革命性关键点。

伴随着Web2.0技术在互联网不同领域的不同程度的不断渗透,以及电子商务的专业细分趋势和个性化服务的趋势逐渐增强,我相信在未来类似于“卖否网”和“我的网店”这样的B2C电子商务模式会越来越被人们所看好和使用到。
