Incredible detailed site that is like an interactive museum of the old handheld games. I can only imagine the amount of time and effort that has gone into this amazing creation. They have taken high res photos and reproduced the games down to the sounds for each game – really amazing.

Portfolio of Chinese interactive art director Yong. Using hand made clay models to form the basis of his work it is beautifully realised, from fantastic clay animation to his work realistically modelled onto blocks of clay. Amazing animations, design, and style all coming together to make a fun, beautiful website.
Portfolio of Jongmin Kim, interactive designer and photographer. Nice work in a fresh portfolio, interactive work in a smooth 3d interface, and all his photos plotted by date and location on a map. Loads of cool transitions and animation, interactivity is simple and smart, nicely designed – all in all a good portfolio site with a bit of extra polish that really makes it come alive.
Photographers group in China. Very simple, I like the desaturated grid of photos on the homepage – which all change with time, with pretty slick animations in the zoomed in view. Also love the way the backdrop / icons change when the photo is dark/light, pretty cool.

New portfolio site of Hong Kong based agency Pill & Pillow. Very simple with some nice touches, a Flash based, blog esque layout with tags and social content, pulled in from sources such as YouTube. I like the 3d screwed up balls of paper that represent their projects and the way they reveal, also some really nice work in here, lots of experimental work too. Well put together and looks pretty cool and minimal.
Portfolio of photographer Zhang Jingna. Clean, elegant design with beautiful photography, set in an interface that suits the work well. Simple interactivity, easy to use and nice simple, elegant animation.

Site of singer known as Nil Karaibrahimgil. The style is a bit of a blast from the past, but it looks pretty nice, and some fun drag and drop features and other nice touches.

Website promoting an exhibition of works from the Digital Media Design course at Hongik University in Korea. Featuring an interesting draggable navigation / interface you can see the exhibits categorised by style. With nice little animations and interesting interaction, nicely laid out and easy to use…
Very cool site of a group of talented directors based in Hong Kong. Their videos are presented in an 3D anamorphic ‘ribbon’ of thumbnails, you can zoom in and pan around, and click on any part of the ribbon to view the videos. Really like the fluid ribbon, and the unique way the videos are presented, its a nice mechanism to play with – cool.

Website of the Shanghai World Financial Center. Interesting website of the huge SWFC building, based on the concept of its height the website is thus very long! In its vertical format you can scroll through the various floors and explore the building, each section cleverly loading when you scroll into its vicinity. Nice use of flash, with deeplinking and so on, slick animations and a lot of detail.
Surreal parallax vertical scrolling experience! Interesting site that you explore by means of the arrow keys to see random facts about our world. Just a nice distraction with good illustrations and interesting messages. I like the scrolling and the look and feel – pretty cool.
Photography portfolio site showcasing photographs in a 3D environment. Clean and simple interface allows the photographs to speak for themselves, drag and rotate to view the photos from different directions. I particularly like the way you rotate the camera to get different angles, it gives the site a lot of depth and allows you to see the images in a fun way.

Site promoting the Olympus MJU camera in Korea. Navigating via an intuitive 3d multi depth picture based menu, you can explore the sections of the site. A minimal look and feel emphasize the smooth transitions, it is just really nice to navigate to the various features of the camera and play around with your perspective – making it enjoyable to use – a nice, minimal and elegant website.
Site of events company Lumina Live, specialising in creating interactive events in art, music, design and fashion. Whats cool about this site are the 3d transitions and that it is open for the audience to create their own pixel artwork on the site, sequence music and so on – you can create an identity and view other peoples additions to the site. The 3d pixellated background provides a subtle backdrop to the various sections of the site – sit back and view the videos and artwork and so on from a distance!
