Le-Joy

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

Very cool site of photographer & art director Jaoa Sousa. Set within a grid of labelled projects, the preloading itself is very cool, is a sea of work Le-Joy has created. Rolling over each thumbnail instantly displays that project and changes the thumbnail to navigation buttons, keeping your mouse still for a few seconds hides all the navigation and grid. When each image appears it is mapped to a 3d surface and animates nicely into view. A superb, stylish portfolio of really nice work, different but familiar, really cool…

Shihad – Sleepeater

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

Really cool interactive music video from Shihad with their latest single. 100 Shihad fans were invited to take part in a music video, and were filmed in slow motion whilst being ‘tortured’. The results are a wall of individual videos which you can watch and interact with. Beautifully shot and fun to watch, very stylish with black and white. I love the way the video flips from silhoutte to detail, white and then reverse, you find yourself watching it again and again!

Forum

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

Website promoting ‘Forum’ a Brazilian fashion label. Cool interface, very nicely laid out with typography, 3d objects, video and photography. Coupled with slick and smooth animation and loads of nice touches, in particular I like the mechanism used to show off their products a very cool interactive slideshow. Also really like the intro withe the 3d wireframes overlaid with video – Very nice…

KIRSTEN BECKEN

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

Portfolio of Kirsten Becken, fashion photographer and graphic designer. Pretty interesting interface – providing a mood board of several shots/images for each project which pans around by mouse movement, clicking zooms in and double clicking allows you to click and drag your viewpoint. I like the movement, the overview of images, and the fresh take on the standard portfolio. Pretty cool.

Site of photographer Brandon Savoy. Simple and minimal this site shows full screen photography with a very clean interface which works nicely. The animation is very fluid and allows you to watch a slideshow of his work. Does the job well, simple, clean and good looking.

Grimm Gallun Holtappels

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

Website of Grimm Gallun Holtappels, German agency. Combining real environment and 3d interactive objects this site really comes alive. Travelling through what looks like an office, thumbnails of their projects can be dragged along through the space and expanded to find out more. By clicking on the coloured boxes you can explore lots of different areas, the zoom function is really cool as well. I love the motion tracking of the 3d objects and the faux camera / POV movement. The animation is super smooth, with an amazing level of detail and timing. It looks great also, with every button and feature well considered and designed. Love it!

Portfolio of Japanese agency TYA. Set in a floating 3d space which is explorable through mouse movements. The ‘creative’ section highlights their work, with thumbnails moving through a floating space – allowing you to sit back and watch the projects float past. Nice camera movement and cool transitions and animation.

Black Sunshine

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

Interesting concept for a new coffee bean brand ‘Black Sunshine’. Based from a FPS perspective you go underground the meet a ‘drug’ dealer, look at the product, and order online your favourite morning ‘drug’. All shot from your perspective looking around the shady underground dealings of ‘the dealer’. Love the perspective panning with the video, they make it a little bigger than the screen so you can slightly pan around to see the scene – brings a really in depth feeling. Love the art direction and the how the buttons float around following your view. They have made these coffee beans very desirable by just making it very cool and very funny…

Guy Vernes

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

Website of Dutch apparel brand Guy Vernes. Nice and simple slideshow of lifestyle photography twinned with a product section where you can buy what you see. Love the slight movement on the images and the use of icons, the online shop is integrated really well linking to the product you see in the photo. Really nicely developed, slick and fun to use – pretty smart website for a small label.

Full Size Image

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

Beautifully simple portfolio of ‘Full Size Image’. Using pixels of light that move around to form text and thumbnails – each project scrolling past and regenerated by pixels on the homepage. Love the movement of all the pixels and simplicity of it all.
