Trying to choose ten of the best designers who use Flash is almost absurd — so many brilliant designers are out there. Nevertheless, in this chapter we give you a shortcut to finding some of the most innovative and skilled Flash designers so that you can check out their work, get ideas, and see the possibilities.

Note that some of the sites they've designed can take a really long time to load if you don't have a broadband connection to the Web.

Joshua Davis

Joshua Davis is one of the most relentless explorers of Flash's capabilities. His legendary PrayStation site, an archive that you may see at http://ps3.praystation.com/pound/v2, originally went online in 1997 as a spoof of PlayStation graphics, but it soon morphed into one of the most aggressively experimental Flash sites on the Web. He then moved on to create Once Upon A Forest (which you may see at www.once-upon-a-forest.com), a visually poetic series of computer-generated imagery that is easier to experience than describe. (He likes to bury his links, so you may have to search to find anything clickable.) You can see his current work at www.joshuadavis.com.
