arcade fire website

Arcade Fire website is not just a band page full of band pictures and song listings, it is a little personal world full of beautiful patterns, drawings, collages and different insights into the life of each band member. Going round Arcade Fire’s planet Earth that is inhabited by wonderful bizarre creatures you discover little interactive activities that unfold more of band’s secrets.
The illustration for the website seems to be inspired by 19th century artwork, earthy colours of Arthur Racham, organic patterns of William Morris and folklore of different countries.

schweppes website

This website was launched together with the series of TV commercials that have a small “secret” at the end to make audience go to the website to find out what happened next. Usually these commercials are shot in black and white and suggest adult themes.
The website is designed to look like a cinema showing short film festival for a mature audience. It is interesting how it’s possible to promote a product such as already internationally known soft drink without talking about the product itself as the audience becomes interested in the content of the promotion on behalf of the brand.
The website itself is very basic almost without any animation that recreates the atmosphere of good old days cinema. There are several “rooms”, such as a hall where visitors can choose and read about short films showing and a bar that contains recipes of alcoholic cocktails mixed with Schweppes. Some films on the website are free to watch and for some the registration is required as well as the completion of the questionnaire about Schweppes drinks.

dayswithmyfather.com

type is art

Finding hard to memorize components of a letter? Then typeisart.com is going to help you! It is an interactive Flash-based public project that is aimed… well, it’s not really aimed at anything but anyone can learn from it and just have fun or kill couple of spare minutes playing with letterforms.
“Type is Art allows for experimentation of forms beyond this typical character set”. It gives users an opportunity to learn components of a letter as well as create wild abstract shapes that come into mind by repositioning, scaling and joining letterforms. It is not possible to change or distort the typeface (as a good typographer should never do anyway) but no one forbids you from creating whatever you can imagine!
