I remember seeing the first version of this site a while back and being very impressed, now v2 is out and it is awesome. Essentially it’s Coen Grift’s portfolio – navigating via a drag interface, zoom in and out with the mouse scroller, you can view the basic information such as biography, contact, etc, but the most interesting part of the site is the little games and puzzles you discover in the ‘explore’ mode. It is a huge canvas – 1000 megapixels – full of great illustrations and characters. Really great attention to detail and very stylish, you really feel that he is not restraining himself and it’s so refreshing to see a totally ‘different’ portfolio. Nicely coded and really intuitive, fantastic!

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.

Nice portfolio site of photographer Michael Cook. Interesting way of navigating the pictures – you grab and slide, the next images comes in, click once to zoom in and again to zoom out, this provides an immersive viewing experience – that actually feels quite tactile. Nice animations on the menu and it is a breeze to use, some good photography also!

Great website of studio Hello Hikimori. Showcasing some really nice work, the site is a slick, stylish, and  to-the-point, portfolio. Led by a young creative team this shows in their work – colourful, vibrant, and full of interactivity the 2008 showreel is a must see. The background animation is a 3d sound responsive flash piece – Very cool.

Great photographer’s portfolio site, presented in a really nice way. You can drag and slide each row as if they were laying on a table in front of you, by clicking on an image you slide down and view in a larger format and by default the browser goes full screen, which is a nice touch. Really nice high res photography and intuitive interactivity make this site a joy to use, nice animation and great photography!

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.

Photography portfolio of Cristof Echard. Full of movement and a using a quasi 3d interface this website is a good example of a modern, slick portfolio. I like the way the images move around in 3d space and the many touches and high attention to detail, i.e. the tumbnails and the way images are loaded in. Nice!

Lovely portfolio website of model Eva Padberg. A slick website showcasing shots of the model, via a fan like carousel of images. I particularly like the way you navigate through the images and can also select any from the left hand list. It works really well and is easy to use, and fun to navigate.

Lumina Live

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!

Melmac website

Nice portfolio site of Danish agency Melmac. Nicely executed and easy to use portfolio of some good work, in particular the motion design section reveals some nice videos. Although done many times before, I like the full screen layout and the way each section and project is presented with fresh content with each click. Nothing ground breaking, just nice stuff!

Natasja Fourie

Very stylish portfolio site of photographer Nastasja Fourie, great work, great site. Divided by ‘work’ and ‘play’ sections to display a collection of photographs. Slightly pretentious intro, but once past that, there is a nice soundtrack and sound fx, a motion design feel to it, lots of nice effects and transitions – all stylish. Really like the amount of animation and attention to detail throughout the site – really provides a nice presentation to the work.

Nice site of Danish design company DesignBolaget. Presented in an interesting way, the items of work are scrolled along, and enlarged – nothing ground breaking but fun, structured well and it looks good. Nice rollovers, navigation and style.

Joshua Sterns

Photography portfolio of Joshua Sterns. Nice way of viewing & scrolling the images – in that the thumbs are displayed vertically, scrolling up and down by moving the mouse, it fits to screen size too. Also really nice way of filtering the images, i.e. portrait, etc – all the images shuffle around to display the criteria. Images can be clicked to view the full size – and are even deeplinked in the Flash. Very accomplished and well made photographers portfolio – nice!
