A new branding had been created by designer Ray Lipscombe, so I had a straightforward time implementing it.

Ray's design for the sister site www.sportsperform.co.uk provided me my first opportunity to create a Flash presentation. It was as simple as they come, a sequence of photos of athletes fading into each other. I used the Xara graphics package.

A second Flash presentation was slightly more unusual, a "Bodymap". A diagram of the human body was overlaid with labels for joints and muscles. As you click on a label, explanatory text is revealed. Again I used Xara and found it excellently suited to the task. I was also pleased to be a party to the sensible use of Flash. Normally it is just distracting bells-and-whistles.
