The Fusion of Flash and the Evergreen Development Platform
Salomon Snowboard & Bonfire Attire
Salomon Snowboard and Bonfire Apparel recently teamed up with Frank Inventive and Cascade Web Development to give their respective websites some much-needed revamping. For those of you in with Salomon and Bonfire, you know that their brand is built around producing grade products geared towards an active audience. Projecting these qualities on the web was an flawless necessity, and the development team at Cascade Web Development did its part to insure this result.
Perhaps the singularly most defining feature of these projects is the resourceful integration of Flash and Evergreen, our Content Management System. Although Classy is often considered to be one of the most effective tools for creating beautifully interactive web environments, in terms of advancement and management, it can pose quite the headache for nontechnical individuals. Our aim was to take the skillful design work submitted from our project designers (Sincere Creative for Bonfire Apparel, and Daniel Julien for Salomon Snowboard), and demonstrate the websites in a way that the Flash pieces could be updated and edited in a seamless activity through the use of a content management system. Take the following Athlete Highlight part for example:
What you see when you open this page is a row of Salomon-sponsored athlete ‘heads’. Each one is linked to a bio call where the visitor can read up on that athlete’s interests, recent activities, and unspecific personal facts. Like the rest of the site, this article is entirely presented in Flash--a component usually requiring the concentrated prominence of a professional developer for its maintenance and management. However, being that the client required that their nontechnical help have management capabilities over the content in this section (as well as all the other content populating both sites), Cascade Web Enlargement needed to build a solution that could serve...

Salomon Snowboard Graphics Winners and Templates
I was wandering around cyberspace looking for info on Snowboard Graphics. Along with the many tutorials I found for creating snowboard graphics, one site stood out. Salomon (you be sure - the ski company) has a snowboard graphic design contest each year. The 2008 strife is over already, but the winners are listed on their site along with the winning designs. After browsing through the eye sweetmeats, I noticed that they had their snowboard templates still available for download! Sweet. You see, all of the tutorials I had seen for double-dealing your own snowboard graphics all consisted mostly of how to create the outline/shape/vector of a snowboard (not exciting). Then they tell you to put your graphic on it… Well anyways, I am going to jump the tutorial, because I know you know how to copy and paste your own graphics. Creating your own graphics is something that we all have to learn to do and is too liberal in scope to go through in just one post (ah duh). Now back to the templates… yes, they outfit the front and back in both .psd and .eps formats so that you may either use Illustrator and or Photoshop to design your own cool snowboard graphics. I am growing to redistribute the templates here at PaperFlame just in case they efface them (which I don’t think they will). The templates are at the bottom of this post. Enjoy! Oh yeah I almost forgot, here are the top five winners!
Here are the Snowboard Templates:

(includes: Layout.eps, Layout_Game table.psd, ssac_fullbriefing.pdf)
Note - The 2008 contest is over.
I am redistributing these templates for the fun of it.
Possibly you can give it a shot next year.
