Usta Usta, or Mouth to Mouth, is the promotional site for a experimental theatre in Poland that puts on a trio of interactive shows that blend video, sound and performance art in a live theater environment. Partly an introduction - and an invitation to get lost in the material - the site is an immersive series of mini interactive Flash pieces that together act as a mysterious patchwork of concepts from the three main theater pieces. An interesting approach, a-la Hi-Res!, that works well for this avant garde theater group.... More

This site will be of special interest to anyone fascinated by the dreamy age of space travel and technology, and of course to collectors and fans of 50s and 60s tin toys. The amount of creativity and artistic talent that went into crafting this collection of space-themed toys and robots is truly amazing—certainly these unique pieces define a bygone era not to be repeated again. And the Flash site by Alberto Cerriteno is a perfect blend of modern, yet rustic design... and even includes a retro game of Space Invaders.... More

As wary as we are to post anything on Digitalthread with a religious slant (Note: you may notice two things we almost never post about is religion and alcohol-related products), we are fans of this rather simple tri-tone (actually it's 5-toned) design of this youth-oriented Christian site. It used to be that many of these organizations had horrible design standards, but over the last 5 years they have poured more money into design, recognizing the benefits of graphics in attracting a younger audience. Does this slicker design package breed a skeptical distrust among other "non-affiliates"? Naturally, it might, but who is to say these "firms" cannot engage in smart marketing of their own message and "products"? It leads to all sorts of prickly questions around the branding of religions that this editor cannot hope to undertake in this forum, nor is it prudent to do so... but do feel free... More
A compact and window-driven site for the Milarepa Tibetan action fund. The organization urges people to vocalize their opposition to the physical and spiritual occupation of Tibetan culture. The design uses the windows effectively with a minimum of confusion and it's also foolproof to technical disturbances. Great photographs of Tibet and simple color combinations grace every page throughout this pure pop-up site.... More
A Swedish-based online typography and design review, HEL13's 13 issues have evolved over time and feature semi-interactive interviews with the top type designers. HEL13 displays new designs and tricky additions in each issue so exploring each archive will often bring a nice surprise amidst a tasty range of graphics. They often redesign the entire look and feel of the magazine when appropriate, so explore and discover. HEL13 stopped producing new issues at #13, and the site is no longer in service.... More

Fun is the name of the game for the funky Flugtag competition, and this site embodies the flavor of the competition through it's functional and slightly futuristic design. We featured another Flugtag site a couple months ago (from San Francisco), and this is the following feature flying in from Ireland. Apparently the organizers have a fancy for fine web design firms.... More
