I chose to explore the studio Dvein and their site. Dvein is a multimedia and interactive studio that has worked with clients such as HP, ESPN, etc. and has worked on project such as Spiderman 3, The Invasion, etc. This company certainly has a portfolio to back up their incredible flash site.
This site intrigues me on a number of levels, not just the flash aspect. The colors used in the basic layout are some of my favorites; black, dark gray and white. The initial logo for the company really tells a lot about what they do. The intricate ribbon with highlighted waves shows that Dvein is a more modern company.
The most prominent feature is the wheel of images on the left. This is their form of navigation throughout all of their works. As you mouse over each one the image pops up to enlarge and give a preview. Dvein has organized their images by company/client. Every image belongs to a specific family that is highlighted in the middle of the page. You can also use the center list to navigate which photos to look at. The center list is a very clever organized list with buttons, within movie clips, etc. to have specific titles change alpha brightness when others are selected. This simple but effective trick is one of my favorites used.
Once you click on a specific image or the title, that objects series of images pops up like a stairway spiral. As you mouse over the stairs grow/shrink. This beautiful technique grabs your attention and is great eye-candy. After you click on an image, it straightens out the circle, then jumps to the center of the page, darkens the background and enlarges to a full view. It also tells about the image a little, and like a normal slideshow, lets you go back/forth through images. To get out of this view you simply click outside the picture.
The navigation bar the top is very simple with a cool look to it. Once you click on the title the background darkens and the text flies in from the bottom. This is a very unique and aesthetically pleasing way to view their information. they used a simple tween with the text moving in and they used an "S" curve easing to start the movement fast and end smooth and slow. Overall I think this site was created beautifully and with a modern view on a great portfolio. It definitely inspired me to take my personal portfolio to the next level.
