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.

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.

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.

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.

Portfolio of Loïc Dupasquier, designer & art director from Switzerland. Simple minimal site, nicely presented and the cool scrolling system works well where the whole screen moves to the next item.
Beautiful screensaver for Japanese interior design firm Wonderwall. This screensaver is to celebrate an exhibition showcasing Wonderwall’s work. Thumbnails from the projects scroll past with the name of the firm, and small lines drawing the word constantly redraw, taking the colour from the pixels in the photograph making a stunning effect. Nice minimal interface and smooth animation where it all scrolls past all combine to make a sublime screensaver.

Site from Edding markers and pens, essentially a huge whiteboard where people can leave their creation using the range of edding pens. The great feature is that it is all in real time with other people, you can watch people draw, interfere or leave comments, there are several pens – only one type can be used at a time. The result is fantastic – the best example of it’s kind yet. It is also amazing to see the quality of the drawings – many are fantastic. Great full screen, simple useful interface and extremely well realised.
