Nice site promoting Cindy Sherman’s photography at MoMA. Nice simple, well designed, and well crafted photography site. Love all the attention to detail, the sliders, I like the depth of field look on non-selected projects. Many characteristics common with Flash, however it is not – nice transitions and effects too. Really nice site!

Nice site highlighting Google Maps and its latest abilities. Using a 3d map you move your cursor to change the position to move a rolling ball through cities such as New York, London and Tokyo, each time showing a feature of Google Maps such as tube times and so on. Really nice WebGL 3d, and beautifully done and designed – all fun to use to and very Google.

Cool site for Lois Jeans marking their 50th Anniversary. Love the parallax vertical scrolling – really adds the feeling of depth and fun, like the faux depth of field look too. Shows ads and videos from their timeline – going back through time. Bit of fun and nice to play with.

Site of Hungarian based agency Carnation Group. Nice design, slick transitions (non Flash), and lots of interesting interaction ideas. Done to death with the vertical scrolling and parallax but I think this is a nice example, particularly with the animation and smooth transitions.
Site of Maersk global shipping company. Nicely designed promo site showing stories from around the world highlighting Maersk’s story. Featuring lots of really nice transitions and animations and with a lot of detail, from preloaders telling you about how many tonnes of good shipped since you have been online, to nice animated boats. Some nice layout in there too…

Interesting site showing the latest modern art on offer from Holland, lacking a building for young innovative artists to display Amber van den Enden and Kalle Mattsson decided to offer a website refreshed often showcasing new art. The site itself is minimal and really allows you the chance to explore the art works rather like a large draggable magazine with videos and images. I particularly like the click and drag navigation, shortcut on the left, smartly arranged like we see on the site, I like the grey dashed line leading you through the exhibits. Pretty cool…
Really nice site, highlighting the talks and ideas of TEDx Amsterdam. Using a cool 3d interface to map twitter conversations coming out over time from a brain. The camera changes over time to alloy a ‘slideshow’ view, so when you are not interacting you can simply watch the tweets appear. What I also really like is the attention to detail and the info graphic approach to the design of information – the chart of times and the really nice rising panel which stretches the timescales and so on. Every little interaction and touch is well though out and designed. It is great just to interact and play with, but also shows all the info in an intelligent and useable way – on top of all this it also looks good!

Spring / Summer 2012 collection from Wrangler – wrapped up in a fun microsite. Inviting you to drag and release the characters at key moments in the video – triggering a cool transition between scenes where the character flies through the wall / floor / something. Makes something static relatively interactive, I also like the usage of the ‘edge’ and the position of your mouse to affect the rotation of the screen – nice attention to detail. For something that is essentially a video they have made it fun to play with and explore.

Great site promoting Nike’s competition ‘Chosen Series’ a competition for amateur snowboarders spread across various resorts in Europe. Using a hybrid Flash template for the homepage and I love the very cool transitions between the stages. Nice layout and attention to detail, looks great and fantastic animation. Great to see a blend of the best technologies used in such a good way.
Site for Honda supporting launch of the new Civic. A play on Google’s street view, except for exploring the streets you explore ‘off the grid’ locations – such as canyons, underwater art galleries, and so on. All filmed from a 360 degree camera system walking – you can click and drag to change your view as the scene unfolds – very cool. The scenes are magical and sound, music, and voiceover all adds to the ambience, really nice.

Beautiful site combining drawn scenes and jazz, the music animating the drawing scenes of China – promoting a jazz album ‘Chinese Soul’. The lines vibrate with the music in turn drawing the lines with the scene panning as the lines are drawn. I love the thought that music can draw a scene in your mind and give a mood, a feeling – very simple and beautifully made. Fantastic.

A simple micro site giving people the chance to explore the new Nissan JUKE. Using the latest Flash 11 hardware accelerated 3D effects, you are presented with a detailed 3d model of the car – placed in a neutral setting you can walk around the car, change colour, get in and out of the car – all from first person perspective. Very simple and fun, I love the way the colour of the car changes and the simplicity of interaction with the car and the environment – dragging the doors open and sitting inside the car – all incredibly immersive. Very well executed, the 3d is fast and smooth and the site is polished – very very cool.
