Site for XXIX NYC based design agency. Love the minimal approach and the iframed sites / project windows that showcase their body of work. A lot of the annotations down the side lead to windows where that particular site/visuals is displayed. Type led treatment that makes a bold statement, elegant and simple way of getting across their work in a fresh and modern way.

Fantastic portfolio of Martin Wecke, designer & coder based in Berlin. Love the mechanic of iframed sites that sit to the left – showing the work in-situ – appearing as you scroll down the page. Minimal and elegant mix of inline sites and imagery letting the work speak for itself. Love the rotating ‘chart’ mapping individual project to types of work – very cool and interactive. Lovely, modern and fresh innovative portfolio.

Site for the re-release of iconic Italian architect Gae Aulenti’s outdoor furniture collection. Lovely colourful and playful site that shows the range of furniture. Really like the product detail pages, as you scroll down towards the end the colour of the page and furniture changes to show the range of available colours. Also love the homepage mechanic of scrolling through the range and the seamless transitions from thumbnails to detail page. Lots of lovely details, animations and transitions that create a modern site full of personality.

Site for Parisian based creative studio Maison Nue. Lovely typography led layout, love the first section where rolling over the types of work reveals imagery which then blurs and fades into the background. Also love the feature of cycling through ‘what you like’ which highlights the projects that you might like. Like the way the project thumbnails are revealed inline into the text. Simple, fun, and elegant.

Refresh of the Fornasetti homepage – Italian design house from Milan. Featuring motifs from their products floating around a 3D space in varying scenes. Fun, playful interactivity and it looks great – nice intro to the site with no clear purpose other than being cool.
Site for Danish creative agency Ouur. Lovely clean and elegant portfolio of work featuring photography, digital, and editorial work. Love the calm colour wash on the homepage and the offset layout featured throughout the site. The animated gifs add a nice dynamic element to liven it up, combined with the staggered layout it all adds a feeling of energy in the layout.

Lovely site for Maeva Barriere – French culinary artist – ‘food art’. Loads of fantastic transitions, masks and black and white reveals. It feels very refined and premium, with lots of white space and elegant design. Lots of nice details such as the preloader bar, love the ‘back’ button at the end of each page, superb animations and fantastic execution.
Gorgeous site for Lotta Nieminen, Finnish illustrator and designer. Love the peeking pages on the left and right edges of the site that allows you to cycle through the pages as much as you want. Elegant and simple, the folio does a great job of letting the work shine, everything looks and feels so cohesive with matching colour palettes and styles on the thumbnails. Lovely work.

Site showcasing Open Foundry’s hot 30 typefaces – well considered and interesting way of exploring (free) typefaces, in-situ on images / black / white – change everything easily. I love the way you can ‘explore’ the font too where you can see how any typeface might look across applications – all different too. Nice take of the archetypal type site.

Site for a book bindery workshop in Amsterdam. Love the simple scrolling narrative mechanic, with a little sticky marker showing the stage of the process with images sliding up and sticking. Such an elegant and minimal solution and interesting way of telling a story.

Site of Epicurrence conference of inspirational creative speakers set in Park City, Utah. Great example of a simple one pager site – elevated through stunning design and nice considered use of parallax. Love the bold colour, large imagery, and big type – lots of small nice details – nice.

Site for the Mirage Festival – an art, design, and innovation event set in Lyon, France. Bold use of typography and colour through the site, from the photography treatment. Love the interactive undulating waves that move around as you mouse over the waves – a persistent element that flows into the subsequent pages of the site. Could watch the homepage for hours! Nice work…

Cool site for Message Design Center agency based in Japan. Love the 3D interactive type on the homepage, which transitions into the hero image for that project when tapped. Also love the company page where 3D characters float across the screen changing into photos – very cool. Nice, clean and simple portfolio site.
