QuarkXPress users are taking a greater interest in Flash animations, especially now that QuarkXPress 8 lets you create Flash content directly within it. (And within QuarkXPress 7 with the Quark Interactive Designer XTension.)
Each year, the Flashforward Film Festival names eleven winners of their Flash competition, in various categories. For a little inspiration, you can view the winners and the 50 finalists at www.flashforwardconference.com/finalists.
