I’ve been doing lots of flash banners in work recently. Like this and this. Part of me feels dirty. When anyone ever asks me “isn’t that ad hilarious!?” I smile and grunt politely while thinking “No. It’s an Ad! It’s part of the life sucking force that is advertising and marketing. How could it be funny?!” And web advertising is twice as annoying. Except maybe for the fact that you learn to completely blank them out. Except when the fuckers start flashing.
But. The other part of me is thinking, “I’m sitting here all day, messing about with Flash animation and someone is paying me for this!”. Although I’m not sure how much longer I can last. I think Flash might just be the culprit who’s brought my RSI back with a vengeance and good old goat boy would be turning in his grave.
