There are dozens upon dozens of programs out there, and I'm sure still more being created as I speak, whose main purpose is to create little Flash snippets for your website with little know-how. One of the more useful and versatile ones I've come across is Flax, not just because of it's ease of use, creative options for effects and predefined titling effects, but because the interface consists of 5 small boxes (highlighted in red -see image) which you can lay directly over a presentation, website or what ever you're working with on screen and see how it looks. The realtime display will show you your work and update as you change font, color, effect, timing, measurement....just a great little application that spits out a finished Flash file (.swf) to use in presentations, webwork. You can get lost just playing around with the settings for 100's of variations.

My Graphic Arts blog
First Foot Forward...
Greetings to any and all visiting this site. I continue to highlight my own work on my website, however I intend for this blog to be a resource of information regarding graphic art programs and various resources on the web for visual media production. Initially I started this blog to review graphic programs as well as animated movies. I have decided to split these two blogs up, so if you would like to see my other blog on animation, go here. Please feel free to contact me with requests or feedback.
