Time for another Norwegian studio portfolio. This time it's a digital advertising/production agency located in Oslo. I came across this as Magne Hage, a childhood friend of mine from Skien, sent me a tip about the new site. Magne is their 3D animator, and as far as I can tell, a truly skilled one at that, too. I really like the way The Voyagers are focussing on creating a story and "universe" around their portfolio. It works very well, even though I think they're using a bit too much Flash when they shouldn't.
Mopa updates their lovely portfolio ... with style. Via Computerlove.
The personal blog of two Norwegian students currently attending Sweden's world renowned Hyper Island. This kind of stuff makes me proud of saying that I'm Norwegian. Truly one of a kind. The use of illustrations in the design works perfectly, and the colors are priceless. All I can say is AWESOM-O.
Matt Hamm is a Freelance Web Designer from Farnham, Surrey, UK. The welcome illustration, combined with the color scheme made this one stand out from the crowd, imho.
Logistetica is a design boutique specializing in web and print design, branding and corporate identity for small and medium businesses. Their site stands out like a dark and shiny purple gem. I especially like the cross-browser mini-navigation. Overall, it seems like these people know exactly what they're doing, and how to do it right. Via Web Creme.
Here's a site in Norwegian only to showcase the beta CMS Apilot from Funkpilot and Rocking Chair. Those clouds, that rocket and the overall colours are priceless.
The tumblelog of Garrett Murray recently got a visual overhaul. You can tell that this guys likes his Macs just by looking at the visuals. I'm not saying that he's copying Apple's designs, most definitely not. I'm just saying that he's showing the same kind of attention to little graphics and typographic details. I'm also saying that I love how this design turned out. It's a simple tumblelog that comes out on top, and I'm diggin' it.
This one is a neat example of a onepage portfolio featuring great graphics and colors. Just too bad that all the text is done as graphics. Why, I wonder. Via My3W.
Quality XHTML turns your PSDs into HTML, CSS, Javascript, etc. Their own XHTML/CSS site is perhaps a little bit over the top as far as using graphics in the designs, but it looks unusual and is very well done. Lots of flowers. Via My3W.
Mr. Doob just started working for Hi-ReS!, which in turn brought my attention to his blog/portfolio, which is quite rad. The blog is a beauty and the works on display show off some of the best Flash work I've ever seen. Especially being just one person. Impressive.
FLAKE.tv is an online television channel dedicated to broadcasting original programming about urban lifestyle, art, fashion, music and overall creative culture. Quite simply a small site with a delicate touch that can satisfy some of the creative craving you've got.
KNI is a passionate and energetic design studio committed to exeeding expectations. Our competencies include pre-production project discovery, complete brand overhauls, new identity development, full-service interactive design and engineering, and web-based content management utilities, blah blah.... In short, KNI makes great websites and their own XHTML/CSS site is a masterpiece of elegance.
The official site for the HBO Voyeur mini series is outstandingly creative. To the MAX! That's what I said to myself while taking a first look at this spiffy site. Lots of bells and whistles, and it works very well. Quite the masterpiece, if you're into all-encompassing, massive Flash sites.
Build is a one man London based Graphic Design studio which prides itself on its craft-like approach to print. The Build portfolio is hands down one of the greatest websites I've encountered in my life. The amazing attention to details, the overwhelming simplicity, the lovely shades, the intuitive and unusual navigation, the large product photos. This is one outstanding site that every web designer should take a look at. And there's no Flash to be seen anywhere.
Online portfolio of Norwegian graphic designer Gjermund Rein Gustavsen and his studio Divensis Design. I know from experience that Gjermund is a very talented and determined designer who pays a lot of attention to the very smallest details. His brand new portfolio is a treat to behold, and my only issue with his site is the heavy load of the background image and logo is fixed. Go Gjermund!
