Thread: Selections from the book, 'WWWDesign: Flash' (2002) showcasing exceptional Flash-based websites from the late 90s-2001. 
1. Velocity Design Studios portfolio website (2001)
I love the dense layering and various PS effects; it's mainly in the 'Metalheart' style pioneered by design firms like the Attik. Unfortunately it seems that only the splash page is preserved on the Internet Archive.

FCB Electric Ocean self-promotion portfolio (ynl)
Set against a backdrop of bioluminescent 'cells', clicking on them initiates an animated submarine-like pop-up window with information & images. The site also includes underwater & hydraulic machine sound effects.

Less Rain portfolio website (ynl)
These little isometric 'Vectorscape' sites were pretty popular back then, similar to the Pixelscape style of websites like Habbo Hotel & artwork of eBoy. Features of this site included chat, backgrounds that updated w real time weather data.

MovTV - designed by Tubatomic Studios (ynl)
I'm not sure what this is exactly, so I included the description in image 4. Looks interesting though, something about experimental interfaces?

Dform(one) shiftfunc portfolio (ynl)
This one is so cool -- "to navigate the site, users hover over the 3D ship as it floats, vibrates, and shudders within the space dock. When they click, the ship rotates and info loads below".
Wish this was still up & functional!

Siemens SL45 cellphone website - Deepend Sydney (ynl)
Great example of a particular, simple illustration style that was very popular in the late 90s-early 00s. It's associated w/ the Gen-X Soft Club aesthetic, especially w the 'hip young adult' travel & lifestyle motifs.

Janet Jackson - All For You album website by Second Story Interactive (2001)
Back when custom websites for new music releases were all the rage. You could use the Sound Mixer to create a club mix of the title track, and make a music video w/ 'virtual Janets' in the Video Creator
