Promotional site of the Bubblewood concept store in Paris. The main focus is on the ‘bubble’ menu which in the centre of the site is the fun element in a bold and typographic based interface. When clicking on a section your view zooms in with typography composing the background, each section different from the next. Nice looking and fun site.

Video site of band Fat Freddys Drop. Very simple site allowing you to view videos and compose sequences from the clips dropped onto the table. I really like the polish of the site, it looks great and there is a nice attention to detail, in particular the rollovers on the videos and dragging action…

Site of Zeebee, a self declared ‘one man studio’ a talented Flash guy. Slick and nicely animated and well coded this site showcases the guy’s professional and personal work. Lovely sense of 3d and great 3d animation and transitions. The circle of his work is great fun just to play with and interactive with.
Portfolio site of Art Director Chris Bartsch. Simple nicely formatted and designed portfolio with some clever touches – I like the option to download viewed projects as a pdf also.
Simple site promoting the NSW Collection Fall 2009 from Nike. Very minimal and focusing on video and photographic details of the clothing. Love the slow motion of the models running and then the transtion between full motion and slow, nice visual effects too. Cool rollovers on the full shot of the items, and nice art direction, with new videos released monthly.

Site of clothing shop Daffy’s. Makes use of bold typography and imagery to maximise impact. I like the animation and transitions between sections, feels very fresh and modern.

Portfolio website of photographer Andreas Smetana. Nice and simple layout with fluid animation, using your mouse scroller you can flow through the thumbnails – when you click on one you get a full screen image which you can scroll around. I like the fluid movement and the little animated touches which gives it something more. Some nice photos in here…

Website with a great little game which warns you not to ‘touch’ the bottle, promoting from what I can tell a new deoderant. When you click on the bottle it explodes, you then have 5 minutes to put it back together via an ingenious game, similar to the recent 3d game for Pearl Jam. By clicking and dragging a peice of the bottle you can rotate around and find the place it should be in. Really like the intro and the section before you click on the bottle, nice art direction and fantastic execution, great fun.

Site promoting the Watchmen motion comic, an animated version of the seminal Watchmen graphic novel. The various sections within the site have a nice 3d movement to them, with objects at various depth and your mouse controlling your viewpoint, giving a nice sense of depth.

Latest Axe promotional site – Muchas Maracas, in the German / Austrian territory. Really fun series of games / video content which features the Axe stable of scantily clad women, with full screen high quality footage. The games are loosly based on the ‘Muchas Maracas’ concept seen in the latest Axe commercials, one game asks you to hit the cursor keys in time with a beat, another to press the keyboard on the left/right side while a girl is sprayed with a water pistol! Nothing new but simple, and fun – I think the target audience will like it!
