Stoav

Stoav is rocking a cool new site design and some lovely new work.

Auditorium

Auditorium is about the process of discovery and play. Guide the flow (a stream of audio visual particles) that will create sound when directed over the audio container of their color. There are no right or wrong answers: there are many ways to solve each puzzle.

I spent over an hour playing with this...

Tim Muller

Elegant and minimal portfolio for this proficient 3D artist (and it appears - brother of my old friend Tom Muller ). I particularly love the abstract renders in the 3D Playground section.

Ideo

The new IDEO site has launched.

I really like the re-design: it feels interesting and exciting, is bursting with information and the usability of the site is very well thought through too.

Netbaby

This is a very old link. I actually haven't visited this in years, but am pleasantly surprised to see it's still being maintained. I have always admired their low-poly graphical style and bulletproof interactivity. If you like old-school games and haven't seen it already - you'll love this.

Note: Many years ago I was the undefeated Boatrace champion (that shows true addiction and a testament to just how good these games really are).

This Is Sand

Feeling tense? Find relaxation with this clever and well-coded Flash app. It allows you to create images reminiscent of those kitsch sand paintings you used to find in dodgy seaside towns ;-)

Suprb

New design for Andreas Pihlström's portfolio site - straight forward interface packed with solid design work!

Ksubi

Something about the Ksubi site looks strangely familiar. A bit 'tongue in cheek' but still a clever use of established user familiarity.

Michael Muller

Impressive photographic portfolio and I love the slideshow navigation - clever and intuitive.

Stopp

I love the simplicity of this playhead interface, plus it's backed up by an extensive, multi-disciplinary portfolio containing some great work!

Zamak

Captivating and extremely stylised character design. Some of the concepts are beautiful in their simplicity - using only primitive objects to build complex models. Be sure to check out the larger renders in the Flash site.

Science Under Fire

I haven't visited here since the launch of the second version site, there's some slick new work on display and a new blog too. I'm very curious about the Titan project - looks interesting...

Gkaster Showreel 2008

Exceptional showreel and portfolio, a beautifully designed and well implemented site too.

Solar System

I've just discover that my old friends over at Your Majesty have created this stunning iGoogle theme. I am currently using it ;-)

Onyro

Bit of a late post, but my old partner in crime Anthony Kyriazis has a temporary site up - a well executed showcase of the work they've been doing recently and all in the Onyro style we know and love.

I Love Dust

Extensive portfolio with some lovely work. I just love watching their animated logo build on the start page!

Silencio

Átila Meireles's elegant portfolio site has a refreshingly humorous start page and contains some compelling abstract images.

Théo Gènnitsakis

Solid portfolio with some great illustration, I believe he used to work with my old business partner Anthony Kyriazis (Onyro).

Okadada

Fluid, script-driven, illustrative abstractions... quite mesmerising.

iLK - Ludovic Prigent

Great illustration, web design and some really nice graffiti too...

Joshua Davis

My old friend and work colleague has a newer lo-fi site up, full of Flash-driven abstract loveliness.

Other - Jozias Dawson

Lovely randomly generated 80's inspired graphics form the backdrop for this slick, elegant and fun to use portfolio site.

The Leftovers

The combined portfolios of Eric Sin and David Garvin. Nice!

Christian Jehle

Stylish portfolio with some lovely abstract images. Great use of colour and texture helps to enhance and compliment the compositions.

Aeform

There are some nice images in here, but what I really love are the glowing molecular forms on the homepage, they're randomly generated and totally mesmerising - would make a lovely screensaver.

oScope Visual Search

Slick! You can run refined searches on Amazon, eBay, Flickr and YouTube with this, then display and filter the results in an array of intuitive formats - all within a very nicely put together dynamic Flash environment.

I was just looking for some orchid imagery with it and this really accelerates the browsing and discovery experience...

Halo 3 Believe

This is incredible, probably the best piece of diorama model making I've ever seen. It reminds me a little bit of the piece "Hell" by Jake and Dinos Chapman. The site is suitably atmospheric and the overlaid interface elements just add to the exquisite detail of the backdrop. I played both Halo 1 and 2 to legendary and might have to consider buying an Xbox 360 just so I can complete the trilogy!

Love Everyday

Very elegant print portfolio, I particularly like the 'No Lemon, No Melon' font and the filigree on the Be Events identity.

V2KD Issue 04

Clean site with a nice selection of vector and pixel based abstracts. The previous three issues are worth a quick look too, but it's a shame you can't enlarge the images.

Alex Trochut

Great minimal portfolio site, which comprises a varied portfolio with some stunning examples of illustrative typography. I particularly like the way the navigation works once a few of the entries are open, it's so simple and intuitive.

Coke Side of Life Remix

An exhibition gathering loads of posters made online by artists everywhere. Have a look, or make your own...

Tomasz Miazga

Nice simple portfolio site with some lovely cartoon illustrations. Not 100% work safe ;-)

Onesize

Very cool site with slick navigation and loads of great motion pieces, particularly their new reel. Five stars all the way!

Julian Wolkenstein Photography

Great portfolio site. Simple, well implemented navigation that's a pleasure to use and shows of the works to their best advantage.

Data Visualisation

What are the most creative approaches to present data in ways we’ve never thought before? Which innovative ideas are already being used?

A really interesting article that investigates the most interesting modern approaches to data visualisation.

Zissou

There's some gorgeous renders here and the image slideshows are really well implimented.

Dote Design

Loving the carousel interface here, especially the way you can throw it back and forth (with motion blur) using the mouse scroll wheel. My only negative comment is that I don't think the typography does it justice - the font is tiny.

070829

This is interesting - I played around with it for a while, but got frustrated that it wasn't giving much away. After a quick search I discovered it's actually a viral campaign for one of Nokia's new phones - the N81.

Checkland Kindleysides

Really elegant and beautifully executed use of the paper metaphor.

Cave

Direction, design and animation. Found this while googling Adam Gault, turns out Carlo Vega has worked on many projects: past and present with Adam and it looks like they can all be viewed here. I particularly like the simplicity of this portfolio, using CSS show/hide techniques to full effect.

Pacemaker

Introducing the Pacemaker - The pocket-size DJ system! This has been around for a bit, but the site has been updated recently. Would love to get one of these to play around on, I just hope they hurry up and put it into production :-)

Adam Gault

An excellent showreel that I've been showing to lots of friends in the business recently, I particularly like the simplicity and minimalism of the site and the juxtaposition of the unusually slow audio against the diverse visuals.

Made Thought

Lovely minimal use of Flash for this design consultancy.

Mate Universe

Beautiful site from Mate Steinforth, it's jam-packed full of incredible motion graphics and some equally impressive stills and sketches.
