Site for Google’s Cultural Institute. Teaming up with some of the worlds most iconic venues and performances experience these moments from the stage in 360 video. Lovely type treatment and nice bold imagery, love the 360 video which really dives you into the experience. One of the things I love about it is how nicely it works on mobile, with an option to use your gyro or swipe to scan around the environment. Nice work.

See the Greenpeace fleet and how they have tried to raise awareness for the ocean environment and the creatures affected by humans. Rich immersive audio and visual experience highlighting the vessels Greenpeace uses and has used over the past 40 years. Love the look and feel for the site, from the rotating reel acting as the menu to the technique used to show inside the ships – the site is full of delightful details. It works really nicely on mobile too, from the menu to the map view – all works and looks great.

Site for Swedish agency Bonnemarque.Beautiful dark look and feel, love the seamless transitions from the homepage to the project details – nicely done with inline video. The project pages are full of detail and outline their approach and the work itself, love the sticky nav on the left ‘BEGIN’ which expands and contracts as you scroll. Menu transition is lovely and slick, lots of cool animations and nice transitions wrapped up in a beautiful responsive design.

Fantastic musical interactive experience for Because celebrating 10 years and 20 classic artworks. Hold down the spacebar to randomly select an artist and play with the artwork – ranging from dragging trees, lighting up a city, playing with gravity, etc etc. Each one is very cool and triggers the playback of the track – with animations, video and interactivity. Love this kind of thing – this is what the medium is all about, creating compelling interactive experiences that can only be done with the interactive medium. Beautifully executed with slick animations, fantastic transitions, pulled together with elegant UI and a nice bit of storytelling.

Super cool and minimal portfolio for Sam Skinner an artist and designer based in the UK. Lovely emoticon based navigation – when you tap into a subject the element stays sticky. Nice offset grid and super simple interactions – feels very elegant and well thought out. Nice to see people still coming up with refreshing and thoughtful navigation and layout.

Interactive experience for The Orchestra of Paris. Using pieces of music and setting them to dynamic 3D fly throughs of imaginary landscapes, as you move your cursor a trail appears and shapes move depending on your position. A nice interactive way of engaging with classical music. Love the way the colours change over time and fun to play with.
