360degrees

360degrees360degrees 'Perspectives on the U.S. Criminal Justice System' creates a space where people with diverse stories and experiences can come together to share their experiences and opinions and engage in a productive dialogue about the increasing numbers of incarcerated Americans. 360degrees hosts a circular 'cell'-based interface that could only be done effectively with Flash, however, it's worth saying the HTML site is also pleasantly produced....

A Commonwealth of Diverse Cultures

A Commonwealth: Poland's HeritageA Commonwealth: Poland's Heritage is an international educational exhibit which presents the history of tolerance and cohabitation of various ethnic groups in the territory of Polish-Lituanian Commonwealth.

a-hum

a-humThis 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

AIGA Design Archives

AIGA Design ArchivesThe ultimate collection of awarded designs, the AIGA Archives are the recorded catalog of annual juried selections in design excellence. Featuring 3,269 hand-picked entries (at this posting) from the '365' annuals dating back to 1994 (issue no. 15), the entire site is a graphic designer's goldmine. The best part is the Flash-built interactive navigation which allows you to browse and cross-reference entries by publication date and category—to reduce 3,269 down to 24 specific entries in a matter of three-four clicks... and even lets your lightbox your favorites. (It's only really missing the best selections in interactive design, but that's why you are here, right?) Pretty... no, very damn cool.... More

brnr

The variety of styles mingle together with fanciful interface exploration to string together an interesting thread of discoveries. Enjoy the ambiguity and openness, since the content on this site is not so info-heavy as to demand absolute navigational clarity and orthodox solutions. Explore without pretentions.... More

ESPN TV

ESPN TV When the Internet arrived, and TV stations started fumbling to put content on websites, for a moment there, it almost seemed like they forgot they already owned the second-most engaging medium around (film being the first). So it's about time one station understands that if I'm going to visit the web site of a TV channel, its pretty much essential for me to quickly be able to find out what's going to be coming next on the TV! This ESPN TV site was developed to roll all ESPN promotional TV sites under a consistent platform... and with 9 different channels, sport fanatics have been thirsting for a slick little site to quickly find out what is coming up on TV in the next 24 hours and beyond. Plus, with a strong navigation and flawless UI, all your favorite sports shows are rarely more than 2-3 clicks away. But that's not... More

Letterpool

LetterpoolLetterpool 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
