I would use it as my personal graphic design portfolio site! I could really use something like this to spice my website up. Pick me! Pick me!
I am an animator, web designer, motion graphics artist, and graphic designer, so my portfolio is my first impression to most people. I do so many different things all at once, and I need a nice, clean, expandable site that I don’t waste days of my life updating and designing. I want to focus on my work.
This template would really boost my online cred! It looks perfect, I can showcase tons of different types of media (video, images), notes and annotations, and it’s totally expandable.
I will surely use this great template for my portfolio online
This flash template would be great for my new site! Thanks!
I’m in the process of upgrading my flash site (it needs some major help). This template would give me a great starting point to inspire my site. It would be cool to see the actionscript and how they organized the site so I would learn a lot as well.
I would love to incorporate Flash into my online portfolio. Pick Me! Pick Me! Pick Me!
Cat garbage can peach turtle shoe pie! I NEED A WEBSITE!
First comment – wow. OK..Here hoes.. I love this template! It’s super clean – well thought out – the UI is spot on – the site is lightweight and responsive.
I would use the template for showing the world what I am working on as my personal portfolio. I do a lot of print, paintings, Illustrations, motion graphics + photography. I am passionate about my craft and I have a love for design that will never die.
I feel like I would also learn a lot from this source file also, as I noticed that the site is deep link enabled – very cool. This would let me get busy with creating beautiful content to fill the site which is what I love doing anyway. If you chose to give me this template – I would commit to creating a new piece for it every week which I would then invite you to check back on and see how I’m doing. I believe that actions speak louder than words and I believe in show – don’t tell. I would prefer to let my designs speak for me.
I love this site too by the way – its a fantastic layout and the execution is spot on.
So in conclusion – if you chose to give the template to me – I would make good use out of it by filling it with lots of beautiful content in a wide variety of digital media used today.
Thank you kindly,
Jay
Well Iam student at the dutch photography academy and I can use a fresh and cool new website for my Photography. NOw I use wordpress but it’s to standard. I want YOUR orignal flash template that must be wow proffesional.
Looking forward to use it.
Greetz Marcel from the Netherlands.
I would use it as portfolio maybe and definitely I would like to see how code and structure looks in actionscript.
Thank you for this opportunity to win.
I would use this template for displaying my personal photos.
Hello… hello… i’m here! Pick me! ;-)
I would use this as a base for most (if not all) my future flash website projects. The way the website works with all the beautiful typography, deep linking, and how easy it is done (customized). This would be like a fresh start for my up-coming flash websites.
Thank you for providing this!
I am a graphics artist, so my portfolio is my first impression. I need a nice, clean.
It looks perfect, I can showcase different types of video, images.
Looking forward to use it.
Thanks
Ali Kamran
very nice template, i would use it for my portfolio and online cv as i’m leaving college in about 53 days time and a nice template like that would look great – would need to get my head round the fancy code though!
If I won the Aspen Flash template, I’d use it for our non-profit film and art school we pioneered that offers free CG modeling, video camera, lighting, & editing skills for at-risk youth.

I would share this with all the hungry children one-legged children of the world to document our crusade as we band together to fight cancer and save the B.C. spotted owl from extinction.
Awesome theme!. I like the flexibility to modify the theme. I’d use the template to showcase my logo designs. Thanks
I am a design and would love to learn how to use a quick and easy editable flash site asap to upgrade my portfolio and photography site. Typography and clean grid structures are super appealing to me – this template has it all! I’m very keen to learn Flash and this template would be a great help in that! Pick meee!
This is a very nice idea!! Being a graphic desinger I never really liked writing code, even though I am trying to learn how to use dreamweaver. These templates look really smart and professional.
I have samples of my work on different sites, like one for graphics and a different for photography.. I think this template will be a great opportunity to put them all together in a single website so I can have that as a main portfolio site.
I love the idea of giving away a free template, hope you have more like this in the future.
Cheers.
Emanuel, London.
This flash template would be great for my web site! Thanks!
I’m done with design school in a few months, and this will be great for my portfolio!
Well; I got a children´s blog named http:// http://www.gominolasdigitales.com I want to change his face jumping to next blog level; I mean as you see my children´s blog got no advertising´, in this case with no profit motive in mind; is just an funny place for children.
I just created my own little company called The Sign – I would love to have a flash page because it looks more professionel – but my flash skills are limited to small banners and animations. So the page would be used to showcase my portfolio.
I teach a high school web design course, and this template would be a way to show my students “one more way” of doing business. Most of our study is in Dreamweaver, but we spend time in Flash, which brings out the creativity in some students and frustration in others. “Safe Flash” sounds like a great addition. All of my students are required to subscribe to your site (and other sites) as part of their coursework.
with this template I would create a website that would end world hunger, destroy all nuclear warheads, and generate world peace via the following actionscript
on(release){
WorldPeace(“Now”, “_blank”);
}
Gotta be in it to win it! I love the simplicity and obvious ease of use. This is what good design means to me. We are launching a small (3 designers) graphic design studio (bolt-on) here in small town New Zealand in the next 2 months and would make great use of this template. The co-directors would be impressed with this template – if I don’t win I will run it by them regardless. Thanks!
I do not have a website! Is a good start for me!!! Pick me :)
Thanks in advance :p
I will use it for my personal web site and obviously for some clients who specifically ask for web sites with flash. I would love using it and earn some cash along with the client’s satisfaction.
I absolutely love the WarmForest templates, but this one is the best, and I would bloody well love to get a copy. I have been learning AS3 for nearly 2 months now, and would love to see how Jay does it.
I’d use it as a base to put up portfolio website. It would save me a lot of time in coding/designing which I could instead use to do client work.
I definitely could use the template to get a good start on making Flash websites, since most of the job listings seem to require Flash programming, I could get experience from customizing it and instead of having to self-teach myself good design I’d have a good guide for it.
I would like this template for 2 reasons, which are:
- Learning the source behind it.
- Having a Profesional look at a site.
I would really love to use this template as a starting point for my Dad’s website. I haven’t been able to design one for him yet, but I like this style, very professional, clean, straight forward, user-friendly. Good for showing projects and details about them too, could get a good SEO use.
Id use it to be able to finally start freelancing so i can make some cash to help my family out! Pick me!
Working on my site now this would be awesome to customize!!!!!
shit, I could dump my boring .mac webslop.
I would like to use this flash template for my new site!
This would be very nice for a site I’m doing for a friend of mine, who is a photographer…
I would simply refresh my poor interactive website.
After a loooong monthly search, ASPEN is the one for me!
LONG LIFE TO WARM FOREST FLASH!
God Bless You!
Really wanna create my own portfolio, but totally daunted by the whole idea of flash/coding currently. Sounds perfect!
The truth that I need my site to present my work, winning this would be a great template ..
Thanks
I search for a month the perfect xml Flash portfolio.
I can say that for me the Aspen portfolio it’s all I dreamt !
A neutral graphic design easily adjustable to any kind of work, readable and approachable.
All-perfect !
I would leave a website addy in the “website” comment box, and I would be pretty proud of it.
I would also use it is my way to get all of my work out to the world and hopefully land some great freelance opportunity!
Cheers!
I always want to try flash template for my personal portfolio so this time this giveaway opportunity give me a chance try out the Aspen Flash Template ability.
I’d dissect, vivisect, and inspect. I fell away from flash a few years back and find the new adaptability of the format to be intriguing, but hard to get back into.
please, please pick me!
i am in desperate need of a makeover with my portfolio site.
currently it’s clunky & confusing. i really love the flow and look of the warm forest flash template.
i need a new portfolio site so i can:
a. feel inspired again by old and new work
b. get new clients OR a full-time job
c. eventually buy a house
thank you,
sb
At the moment I’m using a flash template for my site which took me months to edit and i’m still not done customizing it. The Aspen flash template is very clean and professional which could bring new life to my site… and ultimately help me to take over the world… (add scary laugh)
I pimp up my page. I deserve it. Don’t I? Please? Pretty please? Do I need to beg?

Hi!
Hope you are having a lot of fun reading these comments : ) Hope the winner will be worth it!
Have a nice friday night and rock it all tonight!
Greetings from rainy and polluted Beijing. : )

This competition could not have come at a better time. I have recently been diagnosed with a rare mental deficiency in the Source lobe. While I can learn to live with the inability of walking down the street without doing ‘The Worm’ every fifth step, my new-found incomprehension with using Flash will certainly destroy any hope I had of making an online presence (other than on compilations of funky-walking people on Youtube, but that may not necassarily gain me employment in the design industry).
I would so use this for my design portfolio. Thanks for the opportunity.
design/photography portfolio!
I NEED ZIS!
Hot Damn. That template is straight butter on popcorn! I’d have to use it for my design port. Good luck everyone.
I’ve been a freelance designer for 4 years and have yet to create my portfolio online. I’d love this!
nice site….i am looking same design for my web site
I just wanted to send a note to say thanks again.
The site template has served me well over the last while.
You can view what I have done with it up at the link above.
