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…

The Digital Invaders

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

Interesting site for ‘The Digital Invaders’, from what I can tell it is offering courses in Flash, design, and so on from the great digital agency Grupo W, all sounds a lot like the Swedish Hyper Island. Set in a large scrollable canvas with amazing animation and drawings explaining what they offer. Loads of detail and animation, really polished and a lot of fun.

Coca-Cola Light Plus

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

Website promoting Coca-Cola Light Plus in Brazil. Draw a shape on screen it is then brought to life with funky illustrations that continue on from your doodle, appearing along with product info. Nice light minimal interface, fun style, and really nice animations, all in all a bit of fun – well executed and nicely designed.

Vida Blackberry

vida blackberry

Pretty cool site promoting Blackberry in Brazil. Using Twitter feeds and Flickr images and videos, you can see ‘normal’ people using their Blackberry. These messages, videos, and images scroll by to give you a nice overview of what is possible using Blackberry products. Really nicely produced, lots of slick animations with a clean and crisp visual style. Nice to sit back and let it all roll by.

Triton – Summer Of Secrets

triton summer secrets

Website promoting Triton’s, Brazilian fashion label, Summer of Secrets website. Inviting you to ‘Discover what lurks in the heart’s of strangers’, by linking to a variety of sites through relevant subjects, shown through a drag and explore panorama of imagery and text snippets. Quite fun and a bit weird, there are some interesting sites they link to and it’s fun to explore the mini sites. Love the animation of the flipping images on the homepage.

Energy Lab

energy lab

Website with a great little game which warns you not to ‘touch’ the bottle, promoting from what I can tell a new deoderant. When you click on the bottle it explodes, you then have 5 minutes to put it back together via an ingenious game, similar to the recent 3d game for Pearl Jam. By clicking and dragging a peice of the bottle you can rotate around and find the place it should be in. Really like the intro and the section before you click on the bottle, nice art direction and fantastic execution, great fun.

Banana Cafe

banana cafe

Brazilian site promoting Banana Cafe clothing. Using the newspaper visual metaphor to display the range of clothing and copy. The nice thing about this is that they have created it all in 3d, using the loading screen to give a brief tutorial on using the interface, you click and drag to move around – with the paper tilting and panning realistically. What I love about it is the level of detail – on top of the paper are 3d objects you can drag around and interact with, they even collide with each other. For example there is a London bus, you click it and then you can drive it around the newspaper, you can click and drag the individual headphones on the iPod, etc etc. When you view the photos they come out of the newspaper and enlarge so you can see them better. Love all the attention to detail and the interactivity, it also happens to look great, really cool site…

Ford Edge

ford edge

Site promoting the new Ford Edge. Nice looking site with lots of animations, transitions, and so on, bit of a weird one, I guess because it is mainly for the Brazilian market the copy does not translate across so well. Nothing ground breaking, but interesting and varied animations, attention to detail and lots of movement, all making it visually ‘exciting’.

Viva Positivamente – Coca Cola

Viva Positivamente - Coca Cola

Site promoting Coca Cola and their social and environmental work in South & Latin America. Really nice, clean, simple site featuring a showcase of projects Coke have been involved with. Featuring a 3d interface, each category has little cards which float around forming a shape, i.e. a coke bottle, a globe and so on. Really slick, smooth 3d interface, well designed buttons and loads of attention to detail.

Killers

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

Pretty slick site of ‘Killers’, a South American production company. Yes, another 3D interface whereby you click on the images and the camera moves to show the image, which in turn loads a video highlighting the project. What I like about this example, is the smoothness, and slickness of the animation and 3D environment, it’s very simple, very fast and so smooth that just clicking between projects is a joy! I also like the little touches and attention to detail, when you view a project they have reimagined the scrubber for the video, it’s a little semi circle, it looks good – the rollovers and the buttons all feel nice and animate well. Cool site…

Coca Cola Zero & Nokia

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

Nice site from Brazil – ‘Estúdio Coca-Cola Zero’. You can record your own message and apply effects to it and send the recording to a friend or download it to your phone to use as you please. Nice parallax scrolling effects and nicely designed and well coded – pretty slick.

Ford KA

Ford Ka

Great website for the new Ford Ka in Brazil. Based on the concept that you are tiny – you select an insect character to begin the story – so you can explore the features of a car from a new, small perspective. The site is navigated horizontally scrolling through a tapestry of surreal artwork showing the features of the car. There are lots of little interactive and animated elements encouraging you to explore the various sections and thus discovering the features of the car. I really like the attention to detail but also the style of the artwork, slightly bleached and surreal, it looks fantastic. A really interesting way of providing a unique user experience promoting a car – much more interesting than the usual car sites.

MINT

MINT

Website of ‘MINT’ brazilian fashion agency. Showcasing shoots and magazine spreads, the 3D floating thumbnail navigation interface crops up again, controlled by the mouse wheel you zoom through the portfolio. The mouse controls the panning and tilt of your view and is nicely done. Lots of nice transitions and effects make this an enjoyable experience. Nice photos too…
