Levi’s Roadwear

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

Really interesting concept for Levi’s using the Google Maps interface to explore a journey made by 3 band members wearing Levi’s. Featuring YouTube videos, photos, and commentary from their trip across the items they are wearing – a nicely abstract idea – with each little stain or nick attributed to a story from the trip. Nice photography and a quite absorbing site, with great illustrations – great fun to explore and use.

Arte Insitu

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

An interactive film about art in the cities throughout Europe. You can explore a map of locations, watch individual chapters and add your own chapters. The interface is simple and looks great not getting in the way of the content – I really like the subtle scrolling and the look and feel established on the homepage. Nice project wrapped up in a cool interface.

Shotter

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

Loosely promoting Adidas Skin Protection, the site is essentially a football game utilising Twitter. The more followers you have the more powerful you are – you can play other Twitter users or the computer. Really simple game using the spacebar to build up power. Really mad art direction akin to an arthouse animation film with crazy animation and sinister sound fx. They have made something quite simple into something fascinating simply through the mad execution!

NYC Voices – Uniqlo

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

 

Another nice minimal site for Uniqlo to promote their new global flagship store in New York. Featuring NYC residents talking about their city – video, maps, and text. The site nicely scrolls by in typical Japanese fashion, sweet, clean, and smooth. Nice example of displaying a lot of information and making it all entertaining.

Google Plus

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

Simple site explaining what Google’s new Plus functionality does. Replicating the Google maps interface to explain each feature of Google Plus. Looks good and each section has a fun interactive element to it to explain in a really nice way what that feature does. Pretty cool.

The Planet Zero – Nissan

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

Beautiful site promoting Nissan’s ideas of a zero emissions future. Featuring an interactive 3d world  full of cute characters featuring interactive demos of how renewable energy can be used, all through the control of a small plug like character – you explore the world as you wish. Very similar to the stunning ‘Ecodazoo’, it is in fact directed by the same guy ROKIX. I love the way you control the main character and the 3d world is beautifully realised as are the characters. Incredible attention to detail and amazingly crafted and fun to use – all in all amazing.

All is Not Lost – Ok Go

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

Another interactive HTML5 music video this time from band Ok Go and their song ‘All is not lost’. The music video plays out as people do a dance routine, the windows start multiplying and moving around the screen – the content is almost like a kaleidoscope. You can enter a message and towards the end of the video your message will be spelt out. Fun little music video – need to use Google Chrome though.

Androp – Bright Siren

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

Music video from Japanese band Androp. Using 250 Canon EOS DSLR cameras to take photos as they band performs their song ‘Bright Siren’. The flash units all fire off synchronised to make swooping patterns and effects – the resulting images stream across the bottom of the screen as the video plays. Love the way the images appear on the bottom – could be more interactive but the result looks great. Another cool music video which works on and off the web.

Elie Saab

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

Website for designer Elie Saab, showcasing his collections. Nicely made site using full screen video to show catwalk shows of the clothes, I like that you can skip to each outfit and see detail shots and sketches – seamlessly swapping between it all. Nicely crafted and good minimal interface.

Harry Vorsteher

By | WEBSITES | No Comments

Portfolio of Harry Vorsteher German photographer. Nice minimal interface allow you to explore his photography either by dragging a circular wheel or by clicking, nice full screen images and panning. Like the way each image has a background to fit the image, going back blurs the image making a nice backdrop for the menu – makes it more dynamic. Nice photography portfolio in a well designed site.
