Maurer Klimes
I wanted to look at a site that is doing something with Flash, and I stumbled upon this site while looking for icon and logo inspiration. This is an artist exploration more than a studio one. I was browsing through the collection of work that artists present on the behance.net network. This is, by the way, one of my favorite resources for inspiration and constantly makes me want to push myself farther.
The designer of the site and the company branding has some information about the project at this link http://www.behance.net/gallery/Maurer-Identity/2385026
The logo animates onto the top right corner of the screen as you enter a site made of clean lines and easy to identify symbols. The interface is a unique experience, a drag and drop interface that begs to be played with. All of the icons react to the presence of the mouse and move towards the users actions.
When you combine different icons you get different results on the website. You make combinations of the icons and it gives you the result. This is all done with actionscript and it looks really cool.
The design reminds me of that swedish style of graphic design that seems to incorporate a lot of clean lines. It is definitely cool looking and has a modern design appeal to what it is showcasing.
The person the website is about is mr. Ákos Maurer Klimes. I like his website work than the work that he does, his personal claim to fame is a a gravestone that fills with water like a bird bath. Its not really what I am into to say the least. I like his site more than his professional work. If he never had such a cool site I would never have seen his work though. I just like being exposed to design ideas and trends on an international scale. Other countries speak in different paradigms, with unusual semantics and peculiar syntax
