check out this site from soleil noir featured on today's fwa. the concept is not new but soleil noir just integrates this site perfectly. the background has a beautiful design that you seem to forget about as soon as the menu option you have chosen appears. the interface pre-loads and loads are fast and extremely well integrated, the navigation is simple and creatively integrated to the purpose of the site. outstanding detailing work.

levi's dangerous liaison

bluri

this site takes traditional layout design and integrates it in flash. I am not talking about your usual flash + html site, this one is a full blown html free flash site. the preloader, the loading effects, the integrated radio station, the fade-out overlay menu option, the designers integrated everything with tact. the overall site just needs some navigability tweaks and it can convert any not-ready-for-flash-htmler into a flash junkie.

bloodbuster

the campaign reads: "you can't please everyone"

paris autmn/winter 2007-8 lookback: gaultier

jean paul gaultier takes us to the scotish highlands with this plaid-dominated collection. you could hear the sound of bagpipes without physically being there. His patterns are tradittional but his vision is fashion foward with a high level of detailing and representation.

paris autmn/winter 2007-8 lookback: dior

this season galliano goes high-end vintage for christian dior with the re-introduction of high-glamour, high-octane pieces. as his glamourous "femmes fatales" walk down the runway in their apple-green and acid-pink dresses it becomes harder and harder withholding your gaps. with perfectionist attention to detail and luxury couture techniques and embroidery, dior reminds us one more time that glamour is "belle et bien" french.

sixtyfoureights group

take the time to let this site load and experience freedom navigation. the concept is not new but the central navigation remote and the eclectic yet tidy interface make you love it immediately even though it is a bit of a scavenger hunt finding your way at first.

submit yourself

diesel always has highly creative microsite ad campaigns. i will go even further and say that diesel is the alexander mcqueen of creative online campaigns. whenever you think that they can't possibly outdo themselves they do just that.

dupont

featured on today's fwa this site literally takes you to the future. i have to say that i have enjoyed the virtual tour offered by dupont more than any real tour i have made in europe with any real museums. everything about this house is a wonder, from the garden to the roof deck. it is a pure design mastery.

if this movie is half as good as the trailer looks it will be a master piece of picture and visual effects. i haven't seen it yet but i will as soon as i get a chance. it looks absolutely great.

clio by ripcurl

i am not sure if you will understand me when i say "this site is so renault". it is simple, with a stylishly succinct color palette, highly interactive, very easy to navigate and load. it's flashalicious.

funny, provocative, controversial and brilliant ad campaign for mars chilled.

digitalicious work from poland.
