Beautiful site of 26000 Vodka, a vodka from New Zealand that is made from water which is 26,000 years old. Really well designed, a lovely interface, and simplicity at it’s core. Your navigation is presented with droplets of vodka, freeze framed in a 3d interface along with the main navigation, your viewpoint pans and tilts as you move your mouse – all giving a nice perception of depth. Each of the sections have a similar effect and navigation highlighting it’s ingredients, recipes, downloads and so on. You pick up small facts and info along the way, between each section are short questions (relating to 26,000 years) or ‘vodka secrets’. I love the play with the depth of field and the subtle 3d, which is not intrusive or detractive. As you navigate the site you feel inspired by the subtle interactivity and simplicity of the whole thing. Even the age check is done nicely, lot’s of attention to detail, nice animation and transitions, great sound design, and mostly you come away feeling enchanted and learning something about the product… fantastic.
