blacknegative

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

Beautifully crafted site for French agency blacknegative. Adopting a style of navigation similar to an iPad app you click and drag between sections to see what blacknegative is all about and see their projects. Full of well considered animations and transitions, and most insterestingly it is all in HTML5/Javascript, the smoothness of the animations and style of transition is incredible. The integration with the minimal design and layout is fantastic – a top notch site.

MoMA – Cindy Sherman

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

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!

Google Cube

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

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.

RDNS Reflections

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

Really nice site for the Australian RDNS, which provides nursing and healthcare services for those in need. The site highlights the 130 year history through a really nice interface. Love the transitions and well designed and well thought out layout – in particular the scrolling left & right works a joy. Lots of nice attention to detail bits, nice icons and fun to use.

Kult House

Portfolio of Josh Rhode design and creative director. Very clean and simple design, with some really nice work in there. Like the slick transitions and large images and nice bold typography. Simple, clean, and effective – nice work.

Optimo Hats

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

Nice site for Optimo hats, ‘life’s better with a great hat’. Premium styled, with nice transitions and layout, like the video backgrounds and the considered use of typography. Really like the ‘style’ section where you can see the whole range of hats and explore them from different angles. A surprising site for such a specialist subject, nicely designed & fun.

Carnation Group

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

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.

The Journey – Nike Better World

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

Nice site for Nike Better World, ‘The Journey’ follows athlete Jason Lester on a 102 day journey across America to show Americans Nike’s commitment to making a better world. I like the particularly clean approach to design and layout, and the nice considered usage of fonts. Nice little animations and again another vertical scrolling site, but this is a nicely executed well designed example.

Beyonce

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

Really nice site for Beyonce, the music superstar. Modern, fresh, and beautifully designed site, I love the amount of white space and the considered layout and typography. It looks more like a graphic design magazine than a best selling artist’s, it is considered design and fantastic photography, video, and interesting personal content.

We Are Maersk

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

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…

Temporary Stedelijk

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

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…

Trench Trip

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

Short movie & site promoting Japanese label United Arrows. I like the site after the film, presented like a credit roll to a film, another scrolling site – but this one is really nicely done, love the little animations for each part as you transition into them. Nice touches of detail such as the motion blur, sounds and so on as you scroll, bucking the current trend to execute this in Javascript this is all Flash based.
