Beautiful site for the Danish Hair & Makeup artist Sidsel Marie Bøg. Featuring a fresh and crisp layout and navigation I haven’t seen before. Nice slideshow fullscreen imagery fills the background, love the rollovers on the sections, where images appear for that section. The section where you view the images utilises a really nice scrolling system. Overall a stunning site that really shows how to showcase a great creative portfolio of imagery. Fantastic…

Site for the 54th International Festival of Contemporary Music held in Warsaw. Love the way you can make your own composition from the various sounds of the homepage, when it plays shapes and colours appear around the centre responding to the sound waves made – very cool. Nicely minimal lay out and look and feel, with a fun interface, nice.

Beautiful site promoting Nespresso’s new Dhjana coffee blend from sustainable sources. You discover the sources of the coffee panning around the scene. Full of stunning animations and smooth transitions, the site is brought to life. It looks fantastic, full of polish and well designed, amount of detail is incredible from the smallest of animations to buttons and so on. There is also a great soundtrack - it is full of sound – which really ties it all together. Really beautiful…

Site promoting O’Neill’s Women’s range for a/w 2011. Centred around the concept of ‘illusion’, before seeing the clothing small optical illusions are shown – they didn’t really work for me but hey it’s a fun idea. Nice transitons and look and feel, nice play on the scrolling theme – overall pretty slick and fun to use.

Site promoting the new TV show “Borgia” by Canal+ in France. Incredibly well produced and created immersive site, one of the main features an interactive trailer allowing you to pan around the video 360 degrees and watch the scene almost like a video game. I love the way this 360 video works, so you can pan around and get a real feel for the scene they have created. This is all wrapped up in a nice interface, the other sections such as photos all look great and work. Really nice detailed and well crafted site.
Site of Gas Jeans latest collection Autumn / Winter 2011. Homepage is a bit of a rip off of yugop’s wonderwall – but the rest is pretty nice. Very simple with nice transitions and burn effects, really like the simplicity of each outfit, with the cool parallax effect on the details just adds some nice movement and interactivity.

Site promoting the film ‘From The Rough’. Looks great and works nicely but I think what is important is that the whole site is non Flash – which is quite interesting – as it has non of the clunkiness and has all the nice smooth animations and transitions you might expect. It is quite impressive to see. The whole section containing the information about the site is quite a marvel allowing you to move around and explore – all in all a great showcase for what you can do right now with non Flash technology.

Great interactive short film promoting the new Range Rover Evoque. You control ‘Henry’ with basic choices – i.e. choosing a cafe for breakfast, picking a girl’s nail polish, deciding to help a girl to her apartment with bags. These decisions mount up and create humourous outcomes, getting kidnapped, dodging grandma’s bullets. Love the simplicity, but instead of simply clicking in a direction you drag Henry to the direction you want – simple but it really works nicely. Each scenario is unexpected and funny – and very engaging – you want to play again and again. The choices you make create a customised version of the Range Rover Evoque, even the way this is presented is funny – taking hints from the path you took – really simple and effective. Really nicely made and realised example of car customiser – using humour, high quality video and interactivity to create an engaging experience.

An interactive film about art in the cities throughout Europe. You can explore a map of locations, watch individual chapters and add your own chapters. The interface is simple and looks great not getting in the way of the content – I really like the subtle scrolling and the look and feel established on the homepage. Nice project wrapped up in a cool interface.
Website for designer Elie Saab, showcasing his collections. Nicely made site using full screen video to show catwalk shows of the clothes, I like that you can skip to each outfit and see detail shots and sketches – seamlessly swapping between it all. Nicely crafted and good minimal interface.

Site of French interactive studio Werkstatt. Beautiful scrolling system for looking through their portfolio - quite original. Like the way they present the projects through videos and in-situ screenshots. Great design and all crafted to high standards.
Portfolio of Loïc Dupasquier, designer & art director from Switzerland. Simple minimal site, nicely presented and the cool scrolling system works well where the whole screen moves to the next item.
