Illustration and Flash are two elements that designers can really be creative in. I enjoy seeing these elements in their many variations as much as possible. I visited the website of Federico Roma at Todofluye.com.ar and saw some excellent and original work.

Flash is a great way to catch a visitor's attention and hopefully keep it. Flash done in the best ways is an amazing element, so I am always happy to find original Flash work to look at. I went to the website of Michael Ewing recently. Michael is a Flash developer designer - his portfolio is at michaelewing.co.uk.
