Brighton Web Awards ‘07
FlashBrighton was kindly been asked to nominate their favorite Flash sites/games for the category of “Best use of Flash” for the Brighton & Hove Web Awards ‘07.
Wired Portfolio by Charis was one of the four sort-listed sites, among Snack Dash by Kerb, Oban Star Racers by LittleLoud and SoPlausable by Matt Sayers. And the winner was…Oban Star Racers.

It was a great night, proper awards atmosphere. Seb was presenting the “Best use of Flash” award and Dom with his ukulele and his band were playing throughout the event. Everyone was pissed at the end and dancing to old ukulele folk style music!

Flash on the Beach ‘07
Ok, the second Flash on the Beach conference..
3+1 amazing days of a mixture of workshops, Adobe teaser presentations, presentations from leading people of the industry, targeted for developers, designers and the people who just do both, giving advice and tips, while others being more technical, and sessions just to get you inspired. In fact most of the sessions were meant to get you inspired and challenge you to break the default.
John Davey did an amazing job bringing all these talented people together, and all speakers seem to love him and say the best words about him. They also seem to believe that it is the best flash conference.
It was also a great opportunity to network and meet like minded (and not) people from all over the world. It is funny when you hear people asking; ‘what do you do?’ and the answer is ‘Flash stuff!’.
I should also add that Charis designed the flyers for the 2 party nights of the conference.
A list of my personal highlights:
