Volll is a small European atelier for design and development based in Budapest, Hungary. The scrolling of this site is a good example of how to make it fun to find your way around a portfolio. I love the nice touch with the animated details on mouseclick. Cute, friendly and fun.

Our compadres over at Tank Design just launched their spiffy new Flashfolio. Slick transitions, clean surfaces and lots of whitespace add to the Scandinavian/Norwegian identity of the bureau. Their work deservers a closer look, of course. The only thing I'm not feeling about this one is the rather large download. But that shouldn't be a problem to most of their visitors.

Fantasy Interactive recently went and did the only sane thing they could do - they started focusing on web standards instead of all-encompassing Flash-sites. In their own words: "Today in Fi, you will only find Flash in places it needs to be and fits". They will continue to make all-flash microsites. But other than that, I think their work is going to be a lot more relevant from now on ... and a lot more inspiring. What's more, they're now "The Interactive Firm".

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.

Based in Santa Barbara, California, Sidekick Creative is a small agency who's been hard at work with their new flashfolio. Make sure to take a look through their work in the client list as well as the great sheep counting under 'Insomnia'.

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.

Gene Smirnov is a Philadelphia based photographer who specializes in environmental portraiture, advertising campaigns and promotional music work. His brand new flashfolio invites the user to look through all his photos in a pretty package and a neat navigation. Nothing that couldn't have been done with javascript instead of Flash, but still a nice portfolio site. Via Computerlove.

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.

One of the very best and most unusual takes on a one page portfolio I have ever come across. With a portfolio like this, I'm sure that Alexandru will get a lot of freelance jobs in the future. He's in touch with the times and make use of all the right tricks. A great site. Via Web Creme.

I love the way Ricardo lays out his portfolio in one long page in a greyscale wrapping. The works stand out as the works of art they truly are. Too bad the site makes extensive use of popups instead of slick Lightbox overlays, and tables instead of more correct semantic markup. Still a very good example of a well laid out portfolio with a tasteful design.
