interesting site:

the soulwax site.
for soulwax.



it presents the whole site on one page. you scroll across, find a section you like the look of and expand it and have a look. when you're done you fold it back and continue looking around. i like how it folds and expands, it treats the web page like a piece of paper.

mmm... iframes...

i don't know what the hell just happened.

pretty ain't it? all innocent looking too. well, it's a LIE.



there i was, just innocently looking at the magnetic north website, minding my own buisness, marvelling at how scrolling reveals patterns on the page and the nice light box page layout style used which reminds me of oh so happy times hiding in darkrooms, when i started clicking around.

than all hell broke loose.
it's nice in a "what the hell is going on what is that oh did i break it" kind of way.
it uses all kinds of flash trickery beyond my knowledge or understanding, you click the flowery buttons and everything turns and spins and then more buttons appear or little graphics or pencils or giant mouse cursors, with weird talking and clunking going on in the background.





it made me go "squeee". i like how there is all this mayhem underlying the nice presentable site, and how it's all unleashed with an unknowing click.

for joe.

another pretty.

finally, a website that scrolls across, not down.
although it may confuse people who are silly, i think it's lovely.

just stumbled across...

on computer arts.

some very nice pretty illustration.

pillowhead.net

it's pretty.

every now and then

you come across a website that's really pretty. that says "Yes, there is more to the internet than myspace".

the website i came across (or rather visited for the first time in ages) is brendan dawes' website. he changes it every five minutes but i really like the current layout. it's nice and clean, and the current interface with it bouncy pixels makes you want to interact with it. once rolled over the bouncy pixels which reflect how many comments the post got, turn into a clear image. it's all to do with visualizing blog activity.
another little thing he's made that visualizes blog activity is the info mouse thing where you click and drag your mouse across the page, and as the words appear the black ink in the mouse depletes. it's COOL.

another pretty website i found today is flight404 which features some damn sexy work done with processing.

someone please teach me processing now.

please.
