Makeover for Dusty is a cute flash based website that lets you do a cell phone makeover on and old school brick of a cell phone. It’s kind of like a digital dress up doll. Once you’re all finished you can save your image of Dusty to a gallery where it will be rated by visitors and other Dusty creators.
Here’s what mine looks like:
I wish I could have changed the colour of the hair, but other than that it was kind of fun
While mine may look a little bit boring, I can assure you there are some far more “creative” options
So why would someone bother putting up this website? It’s under the YourWirelessSource.com domain and if you complete the game, you’ll get a code for a discount on accessories for cell phones, PDAs & iPods. It’s a great marketing idea. Using a fun game to attract people and make them aware of your product is not an original idea, but it is an effective one.
Overall the website loads a little slowly and I’m generally not a big fan of flash websites, but on this site they set out to use flash in exactly the correct manner. Flash is the perfect tool for interactive animations so I can’t fault them for using it at all. It’s a simple few page site with a single purpose, and it gets the job done.
