FLASH: Virtual Sweatshop

[Lee Hunter]

Everyone asks about the super cool sites ... the ones that push the

boundaries of design and interactivity.


But what about the other side of the coin? Where is the Flash Hall of Shame?


If there's not yet such a beast I'd like to propose the first nominee:

http://www.ecards.com


Their claim to shame is not just the poor quality of the Flashwork -

although its generally pretty bad - its also their business model. The cards

are done in Flash by freelance designers. They give you a list of electronic

greeting card ideas, fairly complicated stuff like a 'realistic' scene from

a rugby game, which you can sign up to execute.


Build this from scratch - and ecards will pay you a cool sixty bucks.
