This project introduces stories of Brahmi (ancient Sanskrit letters) in a format that combines visual art, music and the latest web technology. The navigation is perfectly minimal and the delivery of this editorial is purposely deliberate and slow; be prepared for slowly evolving photography that is, however, worth the wait. The conceptual inspiration of the project is rooted in Buddhist philosophy and is intended to deliver a message on tolerance, compassion and the nature of being. Photos with: Hajime Watanabe of H W Photography. Music by: Matthew Garrison.... More

A beautiful site for a new surf movie presented by Jamie Mosberg and Billabong. Inside, get familiar with the rough-edged and tweaked duotone design style. It's a great homage to the old school surfer graphics and you may even associate a certain Carson-esque influence. "8 surfers, 8 exotic locations, 1 wannabe and a jar of magic pickles". They forgot: "1 great web site".... More
'Center' is the full frontal interactive trailer for the new movie by Arista, released April 20th. This Flash-built experience brings you into the nightclub where a simulated quicktime interface allows you to touch and select girls to dance for you, seduce you, and much more. The interactive elements are done so well by the crafty design team that at some points you may even wonder if it's happening for real. We also loved the hazy reds and purples - reminds us of our corner XXX joint.... More
Crew Cuts is an amusing movie editing & production haus located in California and NYC. The design is original - using all hand-drawn and cartoonish style - which really sets them apart from the competition and brings their strengths into focus. As far as web design is concerned, the 'Crew' uses great Flash driven interactive bits in ways you won't see anywhere else.... More
It's been a while since we've posted a feature with great typography design, so it's only fitting that this work comes from the Cranbrook Academy of Art alumni. At this moment, the site is sparsely populated - and will always remain in development - but it stands as a great vista from which to examine the online explorations of Cranbrook grads. Cranbrook is a small school with limited enrollment, and this site appropriately creates a modern yet matured aspect that is befitting of a close, intimate community. Designed by Cranbrook students and Arjen Noordeman.... More

There's also some fancy customizable options going on behind the beautiful scenery.... More
