Lovely new site for the famous photographer Mario Testino. Well thought out and considered, a fresh approach to the photographer’s portfolio. Love the news feed highlighting the latest projects, the project view, where scrolling down scrolls the photos horizontally, and at the end of the page – suggested next reading, and other useful links. There are loads on nice little details like these dotted all over the site. On top of this it all looks great, works really nicely and is responsive too, working great on mobile and tablet.

Promo site for new French TV programme “The Witnesses”. Set in a crime scene where you pan your first person viewpoint across a crime scene accompanied by the cast of the show. Find clues – lovely draggable 3D objects – to help unravel the scene. Nice moody and dark look and feel, brought to live through slick animations and transitions and a bit of help from some 3D effects. Well crafted and immersive experience.

Really interesting site for Creative Edge Parties – event planners and caterers based in NY. Love the creative approach to the project, packed full of personality with bouncing, pulsing interactive transitions – love the ‘play’ section of the site where interactive experiments take the stage. Every section of the site has something to play with or interact with – all a bit of fun. Lots of cool transitions and 3D elements and animations.

Nice creative personal project from creative and developer duo. Using a barrage of 3D effects the site uses Google Maps Streetview to place you in an urban desert complete with volumetric sand, lighting, trees, and audio. Nice little backstory to the project and beautifully crafted the interface, menus, animations and interactions all enhance this cool project. Really pushes the boundaries of what is possible with browser based 3D.

Lovely bit of work, highlighting the plight of 30 of the world’s most threatened animals. Nice project educating the world about these amazing animals – love the look and feel, the polygonal creatures morphing from one to another. Attention to detail is great, the animals subtly animate, so does the typeface! Pleasure to use and love the way each scene changes to the next – and on top of all of this it also works on mobile/tablet really well. Great to see more of this kind of work out there.

Site for Matter Production agency in London. Slick, simple and elegant – the site highlights their film projects spanning fashion, luxury and music. Nice use of video in the main carousel and layout which frames the content well, and the elegant transitions which bring in sliding panels of information.

3D configurator for Penny Skateboards. Amazingly detailed customising experience to create your own skateboard. One of the key features of the site is the fact it works amazingly well on mobile devices, fantastically smooth and love the way when you customise different parts of the board your view zooms and pans around. Really well thought out interactions and fun to play around with.

Fun portfolio of French interaction designer Benoit Senand. Bold colours mixed with minimal 3d models reveal some interesting work with robots, physical and digital interactions, and even lego printers. Some nice transitions and interactions bring it all to life in a playful way.

Lovely new portfolio for Danish digital agency Hello Monday. Vibrant and dynamic – I love the way colour plays a big part in each of the project case studies. The sliding panels for additional content and smooth animations all add to the slickness – the editorial style layout giving a great readable experience and looks fantastic. Nice little touches and attention to detail such as the mouseover effects that add a bit of personality and depth. Great example of a modern responsive agency folio.

Nice site for Elite Models in France. Slick and simple, love the offset grid for all the models and bold photographic approach. Lots of nice transitions for the various panels and interface, which creates an elegant and professional experience. It looks great, with nice use of white space and allowing the imagery to do the talking.

Portfolio of London based multi-discipline studio 2A. Very simple site, some nice hero images using a nice depth of field effect to let you focus on the particular projects. Really nice way of putting together something visually interesting when there isn’t so much content available – a fun interaction to play around with.

Sweet and simple site for Mélanie F – a lookbook for their slippers range. Like the products themselves, the site is fun and colourful – love the elegant layout and smooth scrolling parallax decoration elements. Absolutely love the simple animated elements that really lift the experience – and make it feel that more dynamic.

Simply put an online magazine highlighting Danish architecture and design. Love the editorial style and design, slick and simple and with nice typography. Really fresh feeling layout accentuated with neat touches – such as the Danish logo animating when the content is loading. The site works really well across different devices and responds well to layout changes. A good example of a modern, well crafted editorial style site.

Way to Go

Surreal and beautiful – a ‘walking simulator’ – probably best described as an immersive interactive digital short film. Starting in the woods you guide your character along a path – you control your view from a 360 degree camera. You explore your environment, clicking brings your character to investigate a certain spot on the ground. It gets more surreal the further you explore, across various environments – a real feat in interactive storytelling. Love the way it totally immerses you into this strange world, drawing you in further and further. Beautifully executed and well crafted – nice to see more of this kind of thing that really highlights the potential of the interactive medium.
