Another overwhelmingly simple site. There are only a handful of links away from the first, as well as central, page which offer a little information on what is going on. And while it may not be the most aesthetically pleasing, given the background and flat typography, it is goal-oriented as far as getting visitors to "explore the flag as an emblem of territorial identity by appropriating the visual language of international flags." I found this interesting after our discussion of appropriation on Wednesday. Flags were not something that initially came to mind as a possible medium. However, the creators of netflag have made it possible for people to arrange aspects of countless flags from shapes/colors to symbolic objects and design their own appropriated flag to reflect their own views. It even keeps stats of how many times a certian country's flag or meaning was used in the creation of each and every submission. Simple and interesting.
