#10 Downing Street
The Number 10 site is positioned as the Government leading digital communication vehicle. The original design has now changed. The interface is modern, intuitive and future proofed. All content areas are published from a massive relational database and the Governement monitors all activity, work flow processes and content publishing via a custom built web based administration suite. Full interactivity and rich multi-media content is additionally delivered via live webcasting, forums and personalised alert services. The site has been redesigned since this posting.... Read more
*Wireframe Studio
A promotional 'byproduct' from a design studio in South Africa, Wireframe gives us several extremely tight modular interactions to play with and enjoy. The promise of the site is both experimental and commercial, as this interactive design firm will eventually post it's portfolio, marketing, et. al. on the site, while the experiments will remain in the central strip. To date, there are 6 interactive experiments to enjoy, mostly focused on object control and interactions, including collision detection and more.... Read more

Assembler
Attaining many of the same interactions and effects as the above sites - but doing it in JavaScript - places this site in a unique category for both Tek difficulty and design! The creator of these visual and colorful DHTML experiments (numbering about 15) throws most people for a loop when they realize his work is handled completely by JavaScript instead of the more commonly tools (Flash). His command of this these formidable scripting challenges is impressive and the resulting experiments appear simple, but are subtely quite powerful.... Read more

Büro für Gestaltungsfragen
Interface Design for BfGf, German industrial-design studio. Complete flexibility for future updates inside a dynamic template system with all of the extras: sound, animation, experimental navigation.

digital experiences
Digital Experiences (UK) is a fine representative of the experimental Flash Tek sites, showcasing 'physical' interactions and some quite pleasing control modules for your entertainment. The digital experiences modules focus on some of the more commonly seen effects - spacial, dynamic and repetitive interactions - but also deal with type, physics, some cool 'control' interfaces, and even creates some beautiful pieces with their light and fanciful design elements....

EnBW Spamrecycler
How many do you get each day? As you can expect, we get hundreds. But there's hope! In one of more curious experimental designs we've seen in recent years, the Spam Recycler turns your data waste into art. We're not sure how it works - sounds like Star Trek technology - but somehow the emails you submit get shredded and broken down into little particles and then used to create virtual graphics and small personal pieces that you can print out or use as a desktop background. Brilliant!... Read more

Fantastic Forest
Designed by one of the web's best, this National Geographic module cleanly integrates navigation, 3-D art, and content into a fun user playground. Part of the challenge of these modules is working under NatGee's high standards - and the Fantastic Forest went the extra mile. Fantastic was of the first sites to effectively create an immersive navigational experience through an intricate use of frames. The choice of colors, tones, and use of beveled edges to cover screen space greatly enhances the usability by providing a novel browser experience. This was one of the first sites to seamlessly hide frames into the design - something which radically and positively changed the way people approached web design - while creating a rich media experience. see also: Nat Gee Interactive Features Index...

Flight 404
All aboard for a cruise through a healthy number of spacial and dynamic Flash modules - strapped into a airline metaphor interface. Finding the way to your seat is half the fun here as the 'inspector'-style interface guides you through over 40 modules to date. There are also a few additional areas, including a user submition database and a couple more that are currently in development. Robert himself has said, in an interview with Extra Lucky Design, that the idea for this site came directly from Joshua Davis's Praystation, but that his goal is to make it even better.... Read more

forest for the trees
An impressive interactive design concept supported by excellent functionality: this is one of the first 4.0 generation sites that really delivers - concept, visuals, sound, interactivity + variety. The website design plays on the phrase "you can't see the forest for the trees." Individual artists were each commissioned to do an interactive interpretation of a particular track for the Dreamworks album without knowing what the other participants were doing, or how it would all come together. The result is a forest of trees testifying to the inspiration of the visionary soundscapes in Forest for the Trees.... Read more

Fuse98Lab
A popular place for exhibiting new experiments and exploring narratives while examining the powers and usability of DHTML and design. Similar to Remedi, Fuse98Lab is a "virtual laboratory dedicated to exploration", featuring a series of new works by emerging and proven artists each week. A various array of plug-ins and 'nano-recent' browsers are necessary to view all the pieces (which may cause your system to overload). The design is grid-based & very tight, similar to the Fuse98 site as featured in last months webgallery.... Read more
fusionOne
A crisp and clean tonal site for an online application that syncs together your personal, business and executive information, calendars and memos into one common ground online regardless of platform or device. The design is utilitarian, with lots of clean space highlighted by software quality icons. The green tonals create a pleasant atmosphere for the site's presence - a pleasant break from mostly blue and grey branded application interfaces.... Read more
