Site of French label Drôle de Monsieur. Minimal experience with a considered and playful take on depth with interesting type and photography driven layouts. Love the collection pages, once in the sections playful horizontal scrolling with subtle 3D touches. Lots of cool design details such as the slowly moving hollowed out type throughout which adds a sense of dynamism.

Site of Concrete Rep a UK based rep agency for artists working in the fashion, editorial, and advertising industries. Love the homescreen with the segmentation of the various artists scrolling down the page with locked elements such as title creates a wonderful sense of movement. Also love all the subtle patterns and interactions such as scrolling to the end of the project takes you back to the previous page. It looks beautiful too, elegant and clean, with dynamic colour palette and great use of typography.

Site of jewelry magazine On The Rocks. Short and sweet with minimal layout hosting a diverse range of photography and lifted with the addition of fun interactions, mouse over the parts of the site for a contextual button and for flicking through the magazine. Shows that even the smallest of interactivity makes it that much more compelling.

Digital magazine 110% – a lovely multimedia experience that combines video, audio, photography in an editorial style layout. Loads of nice details – love when you scroll items into your viewport the sounds fades in and out, in line block that shows your scroll progress. It looks gorgeous, and has lots of great transitions and animations to bring the content to life.

Love this portfolio of creative director, photographer and film maker Diane Martel. Featuring a beautiful minimal interface consisting of a 3D menu that you scroll vertically – even with sub menu items it remains easy to use. On rollover see a preview and on click a nice horizontal scrolling carousel of imagery. Great to see a refreshing take on the standard folio site, beautifully done.

Site of London based photographer Liam Ricketts. Interesting wavy fabric based header image, revealing an elegant site to explore the photographer’s folio. Love the rollover effect which isolates particular projects, but love the horizontal scrolling mechanic even more. Nicely implemented – with offset grid of images and supporting text, like how once scrolled to end the next suggestion is suggested. Refreshing, clean and modern photographers site – nice.
