Bleed's brand new portfolio site design for Norwegian architect superstars Snøhetta features a lot of flash, good use of urls, inspired navigation, beautiful details and project photos as well as a Where's Waldo-style photo of me and my family. A very well designed site that is done in Flash for all the right reasons. Thanks to Sandro for telling me about this one on Twitter.

A very impressive all-encompassing flashfolio from Barcelona's Dvein. I'm sure some will find this one a bit too impressive, making it a little too cpu/bandwidth hungry. I'm finding it to be a very successful use of Flash as far as experimental navigation goes. It really mesmerizes and works quite well. Via Reform & Revolution.

Letters & Numbers is a portfolio site featuring delicious design work by Steve Rura. Based in Brooklyn, Steve has done some quite impressive work across numerous media and techniques. The interface works well. This could all have been done in Flash, but then we wouldn't have been able to check out his source code to learn. Via Kitsune Noir.

Despite the fact that this one is way too frustrating to navigate, it's still well worth a closer look. The animations, the colors, the graphics and the experimental combination of these make for a great experience. I really like the textures and graphics. Site by Endorfine.

Bombia is a small Swedish agency that specializes in beautiful, pixel perfect icon and web design. I'd sure love to hire these guys to help me out with an upcoming project, as their attention to details and quality is world class. Their recently redesigned site runs on ExpressionEngine and is one of the most deliciously pretty tabbed designs I've seen. Ever.

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.

Filippa Smedhagen Sund's portfolio is, as far as I can recall, the first makeup artist's portfolio to be featured here on Styleboost. Its striking use of photography as well as the surprisingly easy to understand, yet highly experimental navigation of the site come together and combine forces for a great user experience. Slick and powerful.

This is the promo site for the latest class of students attending Sweden's world famous school of new media, HyperIsland. These site's are launched every year, and every single time they make use of Flash. This could be bad, but in HyperIsland's case, they truly know how to handle Flash, and create sites that push the limits of the technology creatively. The Crew12 site is beautiful and an impressive piece work that in fact pushes the limits of what my laptop can handle, making the transitions a bit laggy.

Heiko Klug's portfolio is filled to the rim with delicious artworks. Still, what struck me about his showcase, is how cleanly it is presented. There's not a lot to do here. Just turn the pages, and browse through this sweet, little portfolio. The navigational technique is definitely not a new idea, but why should you reinvent the wheel every single time. Sometimes it should just be as simple as this.
