For my site, I chose Odosketch. This is a very interesting flash site I found on the FWA. The site itself seems very simple; when you first open all you get is a button that says "New Sketch" and thumbnails of various pictures. The various pictures were drawn by everyday people, but with the help of the digital canvas their images have a certain look to them that allow each picture to come out different.
Odosketch, created by the design company Odopod for Adobe says, "Odosketch seeks to recreate the decidedly non-digital experience of working with a sketchbook. Its papery textures, variety of brushes and intentional imperfections make you forget you're working on a screen." And coming from a company that has worked with Nike, MTV and Playstation it is nice to see a project that is not commercial.
When you first go to Odosketch, it is recommended you make an account and from then all all of your sketches will be saved, and if they come out well they could be featured on the homepage. Now, the use of flash and what I think is the best part of the website is the recreation of every image drawn. You can click on one of the thousands of sketches and see from the very beginning exactly how the person created it; which not only helps you learn the process but give you great ideas.
The Finished Product:

So, this is a site that from the start doesn't look like a very heavy flash site, but once you get in the finite details of it you find a wide use of flash. Not only does the site record every stroke that goes into a painting, they also allow the artist or fans to copy and paste the html code that allows for the process flash to go on your own site.
