Critical Mass
Critical Mass's full-bleed, animated portfolio captures the full-on sizzle of professional portfolio site. Released in early 2008, this site is still making waves in agency circles, and will probably be one of the more emulated portfolio designs before the end of the year... Of course, it helps to have an established list of high-end clients, but it's amazing how far a cool redesign with large scale photos, and some magic Flash pixie dust, can go towards making a firm look hip and desirable (Hint: check out the previous portfolio design). Very slick upgraded site for this USA, UK and Canadian-based interactive firm.... More

Wolff Olins
Wolff Olins is clearly and consistently one of the world's most influential branding agencies. Started in 1965 (and now part of Omnicom) they have an impressive client list, and over 180 employees in London and New York (at this posting). In a world of caution and conservatism, they are courting new ideas, and breaking new ground, for new clients. In a time of anxiety and cynicism, they are designing with an optimistic outlook for the world. Excellent work for the London 2012 Olympics, bringing back color, spunk, and new wave freshness. Ripe, clean, colorful, innovative and passionate branding that is positively... positive.... More

POKE
POKE creates some pretty innovative, and beautiful Flash interactive work from their humble studio on Bond Street, NYC. Just a year old, this 'studio' turned into a 'firm' rapidly, based on some solid design work for BBC, Luxottica, and Dell. Great interface work, original ideas, and a creative push for invention that defines what a young web firm should be all about. Just cool.... More

Fine Design Group
Fine Design, more than a clever little rhyme... in fact, it should be worth more than just a byline.

From its San Francisco birth to its increasing self-worth, there is no dividing line between Fine and subliminally divine design.... More
