Steve Jobs’s public fight with Adobe over Flash represents the barest hint of the challenges graphics artists and web development teams confront when trying to create content for this fractured world of 24\/7 connectivity. The “perfect” world is promised to us all in the form of HTML5, as though this “standard” will provide platform interoperability. It’s way way too early to make the assertions currently being bandied about tools and techniques that are promised “real soon now.” What is a graphic artist or web developer to do in this environment right NOW?<\/p>\n
We might lament the fact that Flash animations and videos won’t play on a hundred & twenty million devices and bristle at Steve Jobs intransigence. Our clients, however, take a more mercenary view and demand that THEIR content display EXACTLY the same on every platform. Errrr, Uhmmm, Uhhhh – that’s what they pay us for – right? After all, we’re the content creation experts – right? <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
