Wonder Wall



Wonder wall is a web site for an interior design firm that is based in Japan. Masamichi Katayamais the founder of this firm and the firm is known for it’s ability to break boundaries associated with design. The firm has won accolades including 'Interior Design Firm of the Year' through The Great Indoors Award.
The web site for this company also breaks conventional design boundaries. The site has a store front, downloadable screen savers, dual language support and a google map with the locations of notable projects displayed. I noticed that many items in the online store were sold out, this indicates to me that people like the merchandise.
The homepage of the web site is built with photographs from stores, offices, galleries, malls and products in a way that is interesting and interactive. When a user mouses over the images the grid becomes three-dimensional and the item that the user is hovering over is enlarged in a non-symmetrical way.

Clicking on the imagery brings up a colorful page with cool animated effects and a showcase of imagery highlighting their wonderful work.

Sexperience


This is an interesting site I found called Sexperience. Its a Flash based web survey that started in the UK and basically asks you questions about your sexual life and depicts the overall results of the current poll though different graphs made up of the little figures that all run onto screen and animate into place to give you an idea of whats the norm for people across the board. There are options to break up the data in all different ways to hone in on a specific demographics contribution to the stats. Its just an interesting site that gives you an idea of what the normal sexual experiences and preferences are for most people. God knows what the action script must look like for a site like this.
