My philosophy when evaluating technology for a design solution is to use the most accessible option balanced by the desired style and tempered by your user audience.
Use CSS over Javascript, use Javascript over Flash; and when you use Flash, make sure the element is part of the design and not “the project”. For this work, I wanted to create an image rotator that did more than simply fade out - to do something that was only possible in Flash and not in a jQuery plug in.
This “Wheel of Fortune” / “I Heart Huckabees” inspired background header was the result.
