Perrier Water


My blog today is about the site http://perrierbydita.com/ which won the FWA site of the month award on August 2, 2010.


This site is visually stunning and suitable for viewers who are over 18 years old. The first screen has a sports car driving up to the Perrier mansion, and at the gate the car stops. The user must input a birth date that is more than 18 years ago to pass the gate. This screen was fun and a fresh way to screen underage users.


After passing the login screen the user drives into the erotic fantasy land of Parrier mansion. The entire experience uses video clips instead of vector or bitmapped based graphics.


The visuals in this mansion are opulent, with highly intricate details including exquisite furniture, crystal chandeliers, textured wallpapers, and ornate architecture. Users interact with the main character dressed in a sultry outfit of silk, fur and rhinestones. Within this candle lit mansion the user is able to move into rooms called the dark room and roll the dice room.


The dark room has an interface that enables a user to take photos of the main character. The flash reveals her in provocative poses. I know that sex sells so this gui is capitalizing on this reality. Unfortunately there is not a male version of this main character so they have limited their market a bit here.


The second room is a dice game of truth or dare. The main character has several actions associated with a dice roll. The actions themselves are sensual acts.


The final scene that I tapped into was a tease scene which actually introduced the product. The main character is prancing around tempting the user to click on her, with a warning onscreen to not touch her. The timeless theme of Adam and eve and the garden of eden is employed here and the user will click on the character to get splashed.


I think that Nylon studios created an interesting web site which stretches the line between art anda commercial with interesting visual, audio and thematic effects.
