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.

sweet flash site and some solid work from switch mediaworks

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...

design walk 2008

The 2008 design walk (the second year in the installment) has come and gone. This year the focus (in my eyes at least) was more on projects for the events rather than presenting the offices (and in some cases last year the work) of the teams. I am not sure if it should be just the one or the other. I think a blend of both would be ideal especially if the studio projects were supported by some work in progress. The you would be a useful thing for everyone. Students and young creatives would learn, clients would get accustomed with the process and professional would be able to discuss and collaborate.
Overall a good event bringing attention to the Greek design scenes that needs it. Kudos to the organizers

create your web pallete

this is wicked! I don't know how long has this been out there but it's really good. Create a color pallete in multiple ways and in an array of combinations and then use it for your web design project (or even export it for a variety of programs including photoshop an illustrator)
Nice!

radiohead - in rainbows

I am sure it is all over the place but i just had to mention it. Radiohead are releasing their new album and that alone should be enough for a mention, but they went on and bypassed everyone (iTunes included) and they are distributing their album online themselves. If you want to buy the vinyl or cd with the full artwork it is a bit pricey (but probably worth it). As for the download the price is weird... at best... they say "it's up to you"

BRILLIANT!!!

wicked collection of 404 pages

it's still annoying to come across a "404 page not found"
but its always better if its a clever or a well designed one.

wicked flash basketball game

graphics are a bit crap but it has one of the best physics in flash games but still simple

visualization systems

A real nice visualization systems collection from smashingmagazine
probably seen some of them before probably not but it sure is nice to have them somewhere all gathered. The flickr clock is nice and newsmap is sweet but although it has those two from digg i don't see the arc which i like best. In any case well done!
