Contrary to its name, MLC operates out of London, England. As one of Britain's most innovative property companies, this site helps set them apart from the standard fare expected of a conventional property development firm. Think more art, design and architecture, rather than concrete, bricks and mortar.... More
An excellent site for the UK band, The Script. Nice grid-based 3-column design, and we just love the contrast of the extra large animated header, and change in depth perception. Great feel, good use of space, friendly and fun.... More
The portfolio of a contemporary Viennese photographer Alexandra Hager. Her portraiture is a bizarre mix of Victorian era clothing, haunting settings, and some modern stylistic mash-ups. Often times, her subjects appear surreal and doll-like in their frozen stillness. Great editorial, and advertising work for European clients. Nice simple Flash site.... More
The redesigned Nonesuch Records website features a complete overhaul of the site’s content, features, design and technology to provide Nonesuch and its artists with a robust, attractive new platform to directly interact with fans—introducing them to new artists and genres; supporting their exploration via blogs, radio players, videos and music tracks; and then driving them to purchase. The entire site is built on a customized Drupal-based content management platform that can be easily updated and fully supported by Nonesuch’s own resources.... More
An exceptional restaurant and celebrity chef (Starr Restaurants) deserves a modern Flash site with sharp transitions, perfect execution and appetizing presentation. The "flavor profiles" of this design tantalize the user to explore the aesthetic and gastronomic qualities of the restaurant in this full-screen Flash presentation. Check out the menu and tour sections where tasty transitions make it feel like the site is being diced and sliced for your dining pleasure.... More
A clean and minimal Flash portfolio for this young, award winning Brazilian architecture group. The website translates their style effectively with a direct user interface.

Overall, it's a breeze to navigate.... More

Although it looks like a Swedish version of The Gap, Martin + Osa is actually an American Eagle Outfitters company. The name comes from a pair of early 20th century naturalists, photographers and safari adventurers from Kansas, named Martin and Osa Johnson. We really liked the site's simplicity, and we found the 'Layer Your Own Look' feature to be a pretty slick idea for stimulating multiple purchases.... More
Kent Rogowski is an artist and photographer. You may be familiar with his work titled Love = Love, that patch-works pieces from different puzzle sets to create unique fantasy floral scenes. We also enjoyed his latest work Bears (see thumbnail) where he has photographed a series of toy bears turned inside out. His work is simply beautiful, and soulfully stirring.... More
Letterpool is a brilliant community art project built around uncovering exceptional typography found throughout the streets of Liverpool. Powered by the public, this interactive exhibit calls upon users to send in their own photographs of found type – either modern or dating back in history – and the winning 100 entries will be published into a hardback book. A fantastic idea, executed with exceptional design... and perhaps a project that could be expanded to many different cities.... More
For a publicity and marketing site for Lithuania, this "unofficial" gateway site for the small eastern European country has some great information design. In one compact package, it wraps up important business and tourism information and presents it clearly to the viewer. The gateway has a bit of an advertising feel to it, but overall, the site accomplishes it's goal of changing perceptions about this country, which is technologically advanced and socially open-minded....
