The experiment

Admin — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 15:44:51 +0000

So this is a super clever HTML5 site from Honda. It’s called “The Experiment” and is essentially a lab where you can play with all sorts of objects in a physics-based game that challenges you to complete that chain reaction using a set of objects by placing them in the correct sequence. Reminds me of Google puzzle, but still worth to take a look.

Kern Type is a kerning game and the mission is simple: achieve pleasant and readable text by distributing the space between letters. Typographers call this activity kerning. Your solution will be compared to typographer’s solution, and you will be given a score depending on how close you nailed it. A good education for programmers who wanna good type display.

Slavery footprint

The people behind Slavery Footprint would like to create some awareness while using some scrolling hipness on their homepage. Their survey on the other hand is raising the bar for HTML/JS driven web experiences to a whole other level though. Nice way for a survey to happen, however the outcome could be better.

Book by weather

Feeling adventurous? Well now you can let Virgin pick your next vacation destination.
Instead of booking a trip, you can book a weather. Yes, a weather, because that’s what more often than not can ruin even the most well thought-out vacation. Nice thought by the students of Miami Ad school.

Take this lolipop

Admin — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 03:34:01 +0000

This clever Facebook integration will have you fumbling for the ‘log out’ button pretty quickly. Connect with your facebook account and see a creepy guy starting to stalk you.

Take This Lollipop reminds us that we tend to underestimate the power of social networks and the swag of personal information that can be gleaned from them.

Neat stuff.

When you are drunk

This Danish campaign shows some recognizable moments on an average night out. On mouse over, a second video layer shows the same situations, but when way drunk. Clear message brought in a fun way. Sweet
