Stylish portfolio of Keith Driesson. Very nice HTML & jQuery site with incredibly slick transitions and full screen images, very minimal but the animation brings it all to life. It works nicely and he knows how to present his work well, a clean and stylish modern portfolio.
Yet another cool Uniqlo site promoting their new range of technical outerwear. Featuring videos of people walking and wearing the items demonstrating their key features through animated rain for example, all done in a fun and stylish way. Love the scrolling gallery of features for the particular item – very well thought out. As usual high quality Flash production with a touch of fun and style.
Mexican site promoting Rexona and it’s range of deoderants for men. With each product featuring a 3d scene personifying that product – really cool 3d parallax – with an option to see it with 3d glasses too. Not much more than that – but the effect is really great and the rest of the animation, transitions and so on are spot on very nicely made.
Strange project for Domino’s Japan – to place a Domino’s branch on the moon. Very tongue in cheek – nicely made site complete with look and feel & ambience as if from a space station. Not sure what it is all about but the site is fun and promises more content soon.
The official site for Fox Searchlight’s new film Martha Marcy May Marlene. Finally a recent film release that has an experiential site – sounds, 3d planes, strange video – all nicely put together to create a fun to explore site. A portrait of the main character is exploded into 3d images which merge together to create words and video clips from the film. Well made and imagined, I really like the way videos are presented and the way the 3d images move around to create words – really nice.
Site promoting Australian merino wool. Nicely made with a fun 3d interface with a large woolen globe with knitting sticks representing the sent in photographs featuring people wearing wool from all over the world. Nice look and feel with a minimal design – fun to play around with.

Great interactive short film promoting the new Range Rover Evoque. You control ‘Henry’ with basic choices – i.e. choosing a cafe for breakfast, picking a girl’s nail polish, deciding to help a girl to her apartment with bags. These decisions mount up and create humourous outcomes, getting kidnapped, dodging grandma’s bullets. Love the simplicity, but instead of simply clicking in a direction you drag Henry to the direction you want – simple but it really works nicely. Each scenario is unexpected and funny – and very engaging – you want to play again and again. The choices you make create a customised version of the Range Rover Evoque, even the way this is presented is funny – taking hints from the path you took – really simple and effective. Really nicely made and realised example of car customiser – using humour, high quality video and interactivity to create an engaging experience.

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.

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.
Portfolio of multidisciplinary design and marketing firm based in Japan. Simple minimal interface with nice scrolling navigation – easy to use, clean and efficient. Like the almost parallax style navigation.

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!
Site promoting the 2011 MUTEK Electronic Music Festival in Montreal. Inviting you to play various sounds and visuals to create an interesting audio concerto. Nicely made and fun to explore and use, I like its simplicity and visual appeal.

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.

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.
