since '98

George, Gina & Lucy

It’s in the bag! George, Gina & Lucy is a nice interactive peek into this handbag collection. Luv the “Miss You” title to hide or show navigation.

TANGRAM is sugai!

TANGRAM is a visual design studio located in Tokyo. Their website falls into the red, black and large white expanse with animated lines criss-crossing over the interface. The real goodies are the embedded media and movies that display their projects! They do web, motion graphics, installations and more.

Very high quality work!

Otterball is back

Thrilled! Otterball is back with another packed portfolio of great projects! Wayne Kerr and their studio were part of the Best of the Year 05 compilation.

_______

“Since 2003, our clients commission us as visual artists, in an effort to best represent their unique identity on the web. We like to think we do that very well.”

_______

So true! LUV what they did for Josh Wilson one-pager!

Wrangler Blue Bell

Yes! KOKOKAKA who were the Best of the Year agency of 2007 (BOTY) – have produced this poignant immersive website for Wrangler Blue Bell.

_______

Draws you right into the story. Bonus? Hi-res images, the full video and music track to download. How awesome is this?

Companies willing to stop the push and start the pull will lead. Watch out for a real 360 in the commercial space. Hats off guys! You rock!

Unified Carsonified

Ryan Carson and I go way back when the web was in infancy (as the creator and founder of BD4D – By Designers for Designers) and through the years, always supported his FOWA (Future of Web Applications) and FOWD (Future of Web Design) as well as his workshops events.

All activities are now unified under the Carsonified brand which so happens to have a spanking new kick-a.. website!

Here’s to you bro!

How to be different

Sweet, ecclectic and original Albertus Swanepoel website!

A brand new Kolor

And we’ve got a brand new Kolor directly from Japan! And Oh! not just one more fancy flashy website. It was well-planned, well-code and well-coordinated chromatically (to match the company name I guess).

Luv the muted colors that morph from a horizontal bar code to an equally horizontally animated navigation where you simply pick and choose a particular model to look at.. and then.. wowie, pops a large photograph standing in its minimalist splendor. Previous collection available in the archive!

Sugai! Keigo Anan and team!
