If Tokyo Plastic doesn't win I'll eat my pants.
That is quite an impressive list. Any of those could win.
I personally think FI will take it, but I am in full agreement asun2art.
I agree, which is why I didn't want to have the responsibility for picking one!Quote:

seriously, i can't se why it's so cool. the concept behind it is very classic and, i dare to say, newbish: loads of animations and loading for just 10-50k's of useful information
Indeed. Tokyoplastic should have been nominated for the 2003 soty award.
Too bad the TALL buildings site didn't make it to the list. :(
the tall buildings site was great. who made it sense?
Soleil Noir ! Top
While I'd love to win...I doubt that'll happen :p
Of the rest, my fave is Soleil Noir.
Some people just don't know how to have fun!Quote:

I guess my thing with Tokyo Plastic is that they did one aspect of a great site really well, and it is a lot of fun, but I think the site of the year should be one that does all elements of a site well, that really stands up to all aspects web design.
it would have done if you'd nominated it when you nominated the vodafone site.Quote:

I said this in another thread, before FI's new sites, I would have gone for TokyoPlastic ... but what FI has done is solved a lot of problems that non-flash people bring up all the time:
1. you can't use the back button
2. you can't bookmark
3. you can't print the pages
4. it's a niche
5. no dynamic content
They've solved all of that between their home site and, of course, road runner.
They get my nod just for making such huge leaps in useability for Flash.
the FI site utilises solutions to all of these features which have been in existence for, in some cases, years (check out the teknision.com site). It's a revolutionary site in terms of design but not in terms of usability/accessibility functions.Quote:

Those things have all been done before, it's just that your average flash designer ignores them and considers them unimportant. FI is smart enough to realise usability's importance and to know that where possible they should utilise the hacks that are out there to make flash more usable, even if they don't work in every browser.
I have no idea what you mean "no dynamic content" and "it's a niche".
that's intriguing me too.Quote:

thinking about it I guess he means that some people think flash is a niche tool and that FI have proved its not. To which I would say that flash certainly has its uses, even for some all-flash sites, usually with presentational content, but I'd still say that it's not suitable for most types of web site's requirements. But whatever.
And dynamic content has been the norm in flash for a couple of years now I thought.
If you haven't voted yet get it in there, the poll will close tomorrow afternoon.
