Here is a pure flashfolio gem. I truly love this one. The big bold type for navigation, the tasty colors, the work in the portfolio, the player interface. It all comes together and makes for a unique and blissful experience. It's simply stunning.

Being the final rounds of the Champions League season, it's perfect timing for showing off Nike's latest football site. Of course there's a lot of Flash on this site. Of course there's a lot of video there, too. There's definitely a bunch of marketing bullshit and big words. But still, the site is a beauty, the videos are extremely well made and it's all fun to browse through. I like it a lot, even though it's not my regular cup of tea. Thanks to Sandro for telling me about this one. P.S. No, it's not called soccer. That's just wrong.

The Department of Printmaking at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wroc?aw, Poland, wants you to come study printmaking in English. To help convince you, they've put together quite an outstanding little promo site. I love the colors and the animated details. Playful while keeping it simple.

Kokokaka is a production company located in Gothenburg, Sweden. Founded in 2001 and has since produced some of the most awarded web commercials in the world. There's probably quite a few in their portfolio that you will recall. There's no suprise that Flash is used throughout, and it works well for them. Wonderful site.

I have two things to say about this site; 1) the photographs are outstanding and 2) the unusual site navigation works surprisingly well. Simon's photos are, in my opinion, very fascinating in themes and really make me think about the situations in which they were taken. The site navigation makes use of js fx that roll out the content and in turn makes you have to scroll vertically to see the photos in each series. This, for some reason, is a very pleasing way to enjoy his photos.

Ubisoft's highly anticipated game is not only accompanied with traditional website like most games and movies. This game also has its own "online experience", an semi-interactive video that actually is a lot of fun. Via Ars Thanea Blog.

GrupoW are back with another commercial campaign, this time aimed at selling Ice Breaker mints. The transitions are great and I especially love the way the animated hand points out the download progress and lays down mints as bullet points. A nice and playful touch.

Who would have known that Portsmouth FC is the football team (no, I will not call it soccer as I resent this dumb term) with the slickest all-flash website in the world. As far as I have seen, that is. This site is so perfectly developed down to every last detail that I am willing to shut up about the fact that it's done with one almighty flash-file. It's pretty and it does the job. Good work, whoever developed/designed it! Thanks to Sandro for this one.

While Apple's hardware has been looking sweeter and sweeter with each year passing, the company's online presence has become more and more stale over the past few years. This week they finally decided to give the site a major overhaul. And what a redesign it is. Making use of slick javascript effects all over, including on a site search that surpasses anything I've ever seen anywhere, period, this site is a marvel of web design/development.
