Physics & ActionScript

ActionScript is most certainly a powerful programming tool for artists. To aid filesize reduction in our final website, I've decided to research physics-related effects and transitions. There are various site which cover the basic laws of physics, and how they can be incorporated into Flash. Flash 8 Professional provides a lot of new tools such as blend modes, which are not so fascinating to Photoshop users, but still provide a lot of new possibilites in the Flash realm. I have been taking a look at this site for quite some time now, and has given me a lot of inspiration for various effects in our 3G site. It should prove an invaluable resource in the coming weeks!

Idea behind this design is the evolution in the way information has been presented us over the ages. Starting from traditional, hand-written data & information on paper, to web/mobile technology. The idea is to have a harmonious blend between the two. There's also an option to flip the main page, so that it opens up to a futuristic time portal , where the family tree transforms into a timeline (an reference of this can be found here); bringing the old generation to the new.
