Massassi gets an "A" in my Web Design class
2006-01-19, 6:37 AM #1
Well It seems that Massassi gets in "A" in my Web Design III class. We have a lot of assignments where we have to trace over logos and make our own. We were asked to make on an ISP (Roadrunner is my favorite). I just realized that after about a year and half of doing these assignements (I've had Web I,II,III 3 years on a row with almost the exact same people in the class), that I've been handing in a little something extra on my printscreens that I've been turning in.

Good job Massassi! A+!

Don't really see why massassi would get an A+ in design. It is about as amateur as you can these days. A frame menu on the left with a background and some text...

Im just saying that Illustrator makes it much easier to trace logos.

Dude, I have so much work in the class I don't have time for pretty pictures.
And you have to do it in Flash, no soup for you.

I prefer Flash, meself. So easy to curve those lines. (which Knight is obviously not doing - A+ did you say??)

Nah, just A. :p

But seriously, its school stuff. If his teacher is as tolerant at my teachers were, you could bring them an ugly pixeled reproductioin and they'd give you a B or an A. As long as you could do it

Your teacher... is wrong. Illustrator is the best solution for that kind of work.

We do a lot of this kind of stuff at my school. If it isn't interactive, there is no reason to use flash. If it moves, use After Effects. If it doesn't move, use Illustrator.

It's called "industry standard" for a reason.

Illustrator is better.

Also: much more powerful if you didn't notice.

Well done for missing the point Yoshi, hardly a suprise though.

The POINT is that Flash has a much nicer learning curve than Illustrator and is therefore a good choice for doing simpler tasks. In the same vein that PSP is faster and easier to use than Photoshop but not as powerful.

Anyone with common sense would use the appropriate tool for the task rather than simply using the most powerful option for everything.

Oh and Detty--Illustrator has an easy learning curve. Just like PS. The only difference is it's harder to do hard things with Illustrator--but that's part of how the damned thing is so powerful. Seriously, I watched my friend mess around with Illustrator for a half an hour and learned how to use it. Not really that hard. So stop trying to act all "superior" by inserting (not so) witty remarks about my character into your post. If you're going to say something to me, say it instead of veiling it in your stupid british insults.

I concour.


Flash is good and Illustrator is good.

Why the hell did Adobe buy flash and all of those products if they werent good?


Flash could just as easily be used to remake that logo. I just said illustrator because thats what I prefer to use :P

Flash however has a different purpose--its own purpose. For animations, games, and other such online content. Illustrator is for just that--illustration.

This is a LOGO for the WEB DESIGN class.


See my point? Both programs can do it.

Point? I've used Illustrator to draw stuff for webdesign class--you don't use Flash to make banners. You use illustrator and photoshop, then jpeg it, and place it. If the entire site were in flash then I MIGHT understand--but only if the class couldn't afford the extra licensing for Adobe products.

From my experience, I have to disagree. Learning Flash MX was brutal after using Adobe products for so long (Illustrator was pretty straightforward after using photoshop) I learned flash on Adobe Livemotion (a rather nice program that has been discontinued) and flash mx was very different.

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Hey, sir, I don't need to pirate anything. When your school gives you the tools for free, why would you?

Also, Illustrator IS superior. It's more capable, more powerful, and this much is obvious to anyone who's used both--extensively or not.

Now if you PREFER Flash MX, fine. I can understand that. But saying that Flash is better for drawing than Illustrator is stupid and wrong.
