Studio Exploration: Chie


The works of LOWORKS are just CUTE & FUN!! I saw an article about this design studio in a magazine from UK, and then I found out it was in Tokyo, yeah! I've been looking for interesting Flash content from my country to introduce in this blog, so I am happy now.

As you explore in the interface, you'll see many hidden function buttons that make something noise or move a character; something is happening all the time and make us (at least me) smile. Ex: a bus without tires but a giraffe which is inside and moves it instead of a motor. Check out their Broadcast and SHOP . The shop's background illustration (the earth) rotates every once in a while, so let it open if you want to see different things happen.

When we make a Flash content, we tend to be focus on the techniques since we are on the process of learning a new skill. But as a prospective designer, we should not forget what our audiences want to see the first. Even things we create are small so far, let's make people happy. Let's make things better. Let's make meaning!! That I thought with this web site.
