Thunk
site was reviewed in 2001. Suggest you revisit their site for the latest
version. What is interesting about this particular interface design,
in 2004, there are still designers using that 'style'.
Now - you wanna see evolution? You wanna see progression in expertise?
You wanna see knowing da business?
THUNK design is one of the first explorative site to be displayed on
netdiver... almost 5 years ago!
This studio has become a top notch all around design powerhouse: print,
branding, identity, interactive, animation... they seem to be doing it
all...WELL!
Now don't let that splash screen doubt me! First the flash intro...
lots of midnight oil was spent on this movie - intro is well... not appropriate
if you know what I mean... and the music is beautiful + in sync with
the storyboard.
Also the DEMO reel is goin to blasta your minda!!! Gosh - do they need
an internship? I'd apply to be a fly on the walls just to learn and see
how they get on their creative processes.
And their fresh kid like look on themselves... is saying a lot on their
creative ability to retain the glory of youth's imagination.
Whew! Looking at their site is like having an airplane fan motor right
in my face!
I'm blown away... now stoppa readin' and get da goin'

was to prepare a photos documentary on the aftermath of 9/11.
Since I got involved moments after the tragedy in casting
info on how to help - I needed to have closure. The stories that were
shared were very moving and the pictures are striking. These will be
organized and published in an upcoming project. Stay tuned.
