The use of video within flash is seamless and quick to load up and view.

You can browse all the functions of the phone, then watch a video of the phone abilities in action.

You can read stories watch video and look at photos related to there products.

The use of photography is well done, and the site is great inspiration on how to combine these elements.

You zoom in to see more information.

I came across Hyperakt Group, a design agency with some varied and interesting work.

I love this project for North Star Fund, excellent use of typography, colours and design.

Hyperakt has been charged with unifying and strengthening North Star’s branded materials. Each new North Star piece, beginning with their 2007 Annual Report, conceptually conveys the organization’s inspiring devotion to civil rights. The “Tools for Democracy” report includes typographic illustrations made from the ingredients necessary to build and maintain a democratic society. From front to back, the themes of freedom, justice, truth and unity are highlighted, bringing the organization’s strength and character into sharp focus.

 

Why not check out there site for more great work. Hyperakt

Bored of google results or looking at page after page of links trying to find the right one. Then why not try Viewzi. I have been using this the last few days and have found it a great way to search, the news view is great almost like a newspaper with it’s headlines. The video view is great at seeing a whole batch of videos ready to look at the one you want. Why not give Viewzi a go?

I frequently look to these sites for inspiration and, beyond a nice design and beautiful code, there’s usually something common about these sites: they’re new.

Unfortunately, it’s also common that beautiful interfaces don’t stay beautiful. An interface’s design disintegration can be frustrating to deal with, especially for the designer and developer of that interface; it can be particularly frustrating for the designer and developer who can no longer access the site to fix the issues.
