Kontain is a slick blogging platform that is unfortunately made with Flash. That is the wrong way to do it. In fact it really, really pisses me off to see a site made this way. I can't right click an image and copy it into Photoshop, I can't ctrl-click, I can't even make site open in Firefox right now (even though I used to be able to do this)... To make a long angry rant short, I can sum this up in the following: Slick and beautiful aesthetics that are ruined by using the wrong technology. UPDATE: Kontain is currently being developed in standards based XHTML/CSS with a planned release in February/March.

The portfolio of designer and illustrator Hazim Abdul Hamid is yet another goodie from 2008. Outstanding work.

Another excellent production from 2008, Nike Sportswear's Make Something campaign is a true beauty. Not only does it contain a wealth of inspiration videos, but the presentation and design is spot on, too. A high quality campaign.

Snowdin is another one of my favorites among the bookmarks I never had a chance to review in 2008. To my knowledge, Colle+McVoy have created the first second 3D glasses enabled website interface.

Speak Visual™ with NVIDIA® in your computer. Learn how NVIDIA graphics processors help ideas come to life. What makes this one stand out is the excellent use of video combined with a simple color palette. It's a fun idea that works really well. Via FED newsletter.

MTV finally truly understands the web. This is how to do it. This is how to become the main source of music videos online. They've created a snappy, to-the-point and easy-to-use database of a whole lot of music videos. The colors are great, too. The only thing I see missing, is adding every music video in the known universe to the database.

Merely a placeholder page, but still worth some attention. The illustrations and cute animations are very nicely done, and it all looks super sweet.

Here's an impressive display of Flash skills. An interactive 3D site for an Australian creative firm. I think this is top notch for showing off what kind of work they love to do, but I had a hard time figuring out what kind of firm this really was. Make sure to check out the "people" section. It's a fun and nauseating interface, but lacks a bit in information design. All in all, this site is a great example of how to do something very differently, and they've picked the right tool for the job.

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.

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.
