DIESELhttp://www.diesel.com/
Diesel is a pretty intuitive business which has a site that reflects that very well via flash. With subtle rollovers, the site maintains a very uniform and professional look. However, the menu does change according to the menu you select. For instance, the animation on the DIESEL DENIM GALLERY the intro is animated very well, and the rollovers for the sub-menu highlight themselves by animated cross-hatch shading.
On the FRAGRANCES page the whole layout animates in in a completely different way, that is still congruent with the DIESEL image, just obviously for a different demographic.
RESPECTdrum&bass
RESPECT DRUM & BASS has some more simple element that really highlight the artwork for their drum&bass flyers more than the site. The flash elements present, instead, create a more solid and sleek image for the company. For instance, the bug in the "hot spot" (or top-right) has a sharp feel to it that features the beat being visible on a global scale. The rollovers further emphasize music with little "scrubbers" going back and forth over the highlighted tab in the menu. Music and sounds are of course used to present this site properly. The only downfall, is there is no control of this.
The CONTACT section has a really vivid intro with a very simple and easy to read content. LINKS has on the flip-side, way more information; however, it is just as impressive. The GALLERY section is the section that this page is all about, and what I'm honestly impressed with. These flyers really pop in a professional way that still keeps the images of the industry. One last problem with the site is that the months that aren't used are dead-ends.
To leave off on a good note, the site does contain itself in one page and protects the artwork better from "content pirates".
