Author Salute: marcfolio

An author I really look forward to seeing new files from is marcfolio. What I love most of all about marcfolio’s FlashDen files is his clean and attractive design acumen. It’s no surprise therefore if I tell you that he has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Visual Communication: He’s obviously putting every ounce of his education into practice inside his FD portfolio!

At the time of writing, marcfolio has 1000+ total sales from a portfolio of just 11 files. This gives us an immediate clue as to how the author concentrates on quality rather than quantity. With 250+ sales alone last month, marcfolio has already established himself as a major player in the the Top 20 monthly list of Popular authors.

Take a look at marcfolio’s Reveal Preloader for example. Instead of putting something together quickly and uploading it to FlashDen, some thought has obviously gone into the best way to make the file as attractive as possible. With over a thousand preloaders already on FlashDen, it’s hard to make substantial sales in a congested category. However, by implementing artwork marcfolio created himself, he has managed to turn a simple concept into a profitable concept. All through the power of design.

Most of marcfolio’s portfolio seems to offer files that would not look out of place on high-end fashion Web sites. Take the Portfolio Showcase // XML Slideshow & Video Player and the Whole Browser XML Slideshow Image Viewer image slideshows for instance. Seemingly simple, yet expertly executed, and again, polished with high quality images and photographs taken by the author himself.

I feel the best is yet to come from marcfolio, yet he is already setting FlashDen on fire with his high quality concepts and designs. For his contribution to design, FlashDen salutes marcfolio! Here’s a flavor of marcfolio’s FlashDen portfolio to whet your appetite:
