Site of Toronto based creative agency Kid. Studio. Fun homepage with nicely treated visuals that rotate around in 3D space linking to the relevant project with nicely implemented parallax effect on scroll. Minimal layout and monotone styling with nice details, like the Ken preloader, finish this agencies folio.

Site of Japanese animator Ryoji Yamada. Love how the site starts, with flickering animations that spool up and represent the old zoetrope, eventually giving a vertically scrolling montage of the films. Click on a film and you see it in-situ. Love how the execution really reflects the medium.

Lovely site containing many ‘code doodles’ short and sweet interactive experiments, that are also a Chrome plugin. Real simple layout making it easy to dip in and out of the doodles. Love the breadth of doodles available, all from a range of different coders and artists. Nice wrapper for the doodles with lots of slick transitions and animations, and nice UI details too.

Redesign of ‘The Intercept’ a platform for reporting on leaked documents and thought provoking stories. This example shows a series of stories about Drones and their use in covert operations. Love the mixture of full bleed video, large imagery, and editorial layout to create an impactful design. Some really nice UI touches such as the menu, the sticky nav on the left, and bookending of articles and pages. Well crafted with insightful content and well designed layout full of thoughtful details.

Elegant site for Julien Belmonte, film director and designer. Featuring a simple and intuitive video scrubbing integration, which is simply your mouse cursor position. The homepage is just one long strip of videos, tap on one video and it expands. Nice transitions and smooth animation, with a really simple and elegant mechanic which lets the content do the talking.

Beautiful 3D musical experience for band Helios and their new album Yume. Drag around the various 3D shapes to mix various elements from the tracks in the album. Different scenes have different music, love the way when you add bass or drums the landscape reacts – either in a sound reactive vibration or adding new 3D shapes into the mix. Site is minimal and simple which allows the music to take centre stage, a really beautiful and thoughtful site.

Site that visualises billions of data points gathered by sports and fitness tracker Strava. The nice thing about the site, is the way it puts context around the data – by pulling insights from around the world – comparing them and visualising them. Love the attention to detail with the 3D sphere – even with moving clouds – and nice shareable snippets.

Site for Italian lingerie brand Silenzia. Featuring nicely shot full screen black and white video which places you in the lead female character. Prompting small moments of interactivity, choosing how to spend the day, or dragging the bra closure system – helps carry the story along and draw you in. The site design is minimal and elegant, whilst letting the content and story telling speak for itself.

Simple site for Kotelett underwear, that grabs your attention by dripping green paste over Ryvita crackers, then shows the models. Strange intro to reveal a very simple nav, that allows you to see the items in more detail – love that the models are a part of the site – full screen, framing the navigation. Such a simple mechanic, with the full bleed looping video just adding that extra dimension.

Interactive documentary that has curated 10,000 video clips, news, tweets, charts, graphs, lists, and millions of individual data points. Fascinating mix of topics and overwhelming amount of data. An interesting aspect of the site is that it limits you to viewing for only a couple of minutes at a time – then blocking you from re-visiting for 24 hours. Love all the infographics, and the interesting navigation at the top – all the topics instantly navigable from the scrolling mechanic. Simple but impactful it offers a glimpse into what people are doing and looking for online.

Sounds strange but this is the site for Swiss embossing specialty company Boegli. Execution is superb, with super slick and restrained transitions and animations – love the timeline, transitions between the pages, and the scroll down mechanic where the visual masks off and shrinks to a portal. So well crafted and elegant with a splash of colour from the vibrant photography.

Lovely site for Japanese DJ and musician Kenji Endo. Lots of fun details hidden here, from 3D rollover mesh typography, embedded music players with accompanying sound reactive visuals, lots of little features. Nice layout and design, love the large type, monotone look and feel, with subtle splashes of colour.

Site for Italian label Pal Zileri. Slick, simple, and elegant is a good way to describe the site – it feels very well crafted and seamless with the video playing full bleed and images zooming to full screen. The attention to detail is thorough, with lots of nice touches the preloader bar at the top, the menu, the cursor changes, the zooming. It looks great too, nice layout with well considered use of images and type.

Site for Spotify that creates playlists for you based on your preferences that rewinds musical tastes back a couple of decades. Really nice design and animations that inject a sense of playfulness and colour. Love all the preloading sequences and transitions – that creates a sense of narrative and storytelling and shows how you can get more out of Spotify.
