A MESSAGE from NEW RIDERS

Every now and then, we at New Riders happen upon a new author simply by chance. Such was the case with Hillman Curtis, who casually left his business card at a New Riders trade show booth . Hillman was interested in writing a Flash book, and we were looking to partner with the right people to create a Flash book that wasn't yet another rehash of the Flash feature set. As soon as we contacted him to find out more about his proposal, we were hooked.

Hillman is a genius in the world of motion graphics. Both technically and artistically. His software know-how, combined with his unique artistic sense, pack a powerful combination ”one that we are excited to share with you in his first book: Flash Web Design. You'll find that Hillman and his book are like nothing currently on the shelves . Whether you use it for reference or inspiration or both, you'll be sure to enjoy it. We'd like to know how much
