The Glue Network hosts a flash based website that is dedicated to opening awareness and potencial benefit towards a multitude of worldwide issues such as world hunger, poverty, aids awareness and so much more. I was initially drawn to this site because of it's consistency and dedication to it's cause of social awareness. They feature a long running mural, a donation link, a store, charity news and ways to get involved and they host give-aways. I was very impressed with it's overall usability.
I liked the design of scrollable flip-tiles in it's design, each which convey's it's cause and it doesn't take an aukward amount of time to load. Each of it's seperate lengths of mile are displayed quickly as it's pages are relatively "light." I enjoyed the design layout because it displays it's message clearly and it draws the visitor into it's purpose.
I found it's mural style layout both visually interesting and effective. It appears clean and simple to navigate. It hosts a playlist of interchangeable music to enjoy while viewing the site. The site's main interface shell appears adaptable to constantly update itself as people add miles towards it's cause. Overall it's usability is very easy to navigate.
For my second exploration I have chosen http://mrdoob.com/blog/
It is a site featuring games, layouts, logos and tutorials using flash. The site itself hosts an artist portfolio, actionscripting experiments, textures and lighting ideas, liknks to demos, tips, pointers and blogs about the artists work and ideas for implementing 3d into flash. It also shows games and projects along with the source files used to create them.
