Studio/Artist Design Exploratio

I came upon this site: http://www.assaball.com/ while looking up submissions to the FWA.

The website is created by Bok-Chul Lee and his website acts basically as a portfolio of all of his work. He guides you through his work by using what he labels as "Assaballs". The term "Assa" in Korean is a way of saying "Awesome!" or "Yay!" when someone is feeling good or when something went well. His characters are round balls in order to represent the spontaneity of his work.

Each one will lead you to somewhere different. For instance, if you click on the ball labeled as "Works", it'll show you teasers of designs he has worked on for different websites. Another ball will lead you to a gallery profile for each of his "Assaballs" where you can also download wallpapers that he has created.

Overall I think the site very creative and really shows us just how much the world has begun to rely on the internet as well as the design programs we use today. The only downfall to this website is that many users have complained about the loading speed, which, depending on how fast your computer is running, can take awhile.
