New magnetic North site by Brendan Dawes

The ever creative Brendan Dawes and magnetic north release their new flash site that ones again pushes the envelope. The site feature an innovative user interface in which the user draws shapes to navigate. Although in one form or another the similar attempts have been made before this one works like a charm, the drawing part at least. On the down side you are not able to see specific type of work but then again that may be the goal, getting a user that looks for something specific to see (or sell) even more things.
Over all its a great piece of work shows that the abilities of flash are even greater and that for people that are truly creative there are still things to be discovered

O.S.A. has a new site from de-construct

De-construct is alive and they have a new holding page (the full site is still under construction) and a new star site for O.S.A. architects. The site is following the trend of the day of full screen image display with no fixed width with alternate navigation system that puts the usability second in line but manages to be equally usable. Good typography is always a given with de-construct and as for the small details i love the loading animation. The site is only in German but other than that it is a top notch work.
Well done

Hello Monday has a new site

I am surprised (and a bit ashamed) I never heard of these guys.
Hello Monday's work, both print and web, is exceptional. I especially like the the Leoni corporate id. The site it self is one of the best I've seen in a long time. Clean, effective with an added twist for the drag/scrolling navigation to make memorable but without sacrificing usability. To present the work they don't cut any corners giving us a wealth of images from drawing (and we are talking for actual hand drawing again for Leoni) to end product.
Well done

the dolphins are online

after the release of the new digit site and the closer to our home town last year release of of the now multi-awarded beetroor website, adding to the ever growing list of the minimalistic full screen portfolio site comes the new dolphins website with the added twist of the other big trend of papaervision 3d. To many it might look like a rip-off, of not one but many sites, but to be honest if the brief is to maximize the exposure of your work and minimize all the rest there is not much room left. Personally I think it is a minimalistic approach that I understand and to certain extend I agree with but in many cases, this one not being an exception, I find a inconsistency of the design approach of the site with the design approach of their work. Having said that I have to say that their work is quite stunning and I wish all the best for the future.

new site for digit london

the new site for human interaction design studio Digit London is online. Its minimal and with the current trend of full screen video (although the stop motion, short of, animation is a good touch). I like the use of the back background pattern and the clear and unsubmenued menu. The project section is a bit poor (come on people 12 projects is all you got) to the point that someone will think it's a bit elitist. Make sure you check out the contact map, the satellite version (a dream of green all around).
Enjoy

Mad in spain 08 by group94



the new site for this years design festival mad in Spain, beautifully delivered by group 94, is now online. See all the participants, book tickets or just imagine how nice it would be to be able to make this trip.
Once again kudos to group94 for another premium flash site (although i would like to know whether the noise the background produces, at least while playing the mini meteor game, is intended), well done boys...

google crawls Flash

Great news for flashers....

Google has been developing a new algorithm for indexing textual content in Flash files of all kinds, from Flash menus, buttons and banners, to self-contained Flash websites. Recently, we've improved the performance of this Flash indexing algorithm by integrating Adobe's Flash Player technology.

redbull flightlab



less rain keeps pushing it higher and higher. True visionaries that are not afraid to use new stuff (this time papervision 3d) but instead are looking for it to put it to use in major scale projects and clients. And they always pull it through. Designing and flying your own 3d model in flash? WTF? It makes me feel small and useless.
Again well done guys.

When enough is enough...

Inevitably in every designer’s career there comes a point where you no longer feel that a client is a fit with your business. If you have never had to fire a client, there is sure to be a time when you will. This is unfortunately just a part of doing business that is pretty much...
