Nike Tech Pack

September 3rd, 2007

techpack.jpgNike launched its Tech Pack last weekend. It’s a collection based on innovative performance materials, diverse fabrication and design techniques. And it must say that most of the stuff looks great. So it’s a real let down that the website isn’t on par with the apparel. Some thumbnails don’t load, the videos stutter … hello buffertime … and why o why is it Flash 9?
Boo Nike!

Quizjacking

Comcast has this little website called TripleSlanguage to promote their triple-play offer (internet, telephone and TV). They invented some new words like ‘Quizjacking’ and ‘Tomphonery’. I guess I’m guilty to several …

Rhythm Of Lines - II

This new website for the Audi A5 called ‘A rhythm of lines‘, continues where the TV commercial left us a few weeks back. The user can create it’s own rhythm of line by hitting a few keys and moving around with his mouse. Afterwards you can take a picture of your composition and save it as a wallpaper or watch your animation again. All very sleek, just like the car.
The whole 3D lines thingy, is build with the open source Flash 3D engine called Papervision3D.

Gui Borchert

June 29th, 2007

Gui Borchert is an associate creative director at R/GA, the online agency that is responsible for most of Nike’s websites. You can find almost every design for Nike in his portfolio. One of them is a series of concept boards and alternate directions for the Nike+ website. It’s very interesting to see how the different ideas developed to what the current website looks like. I hope that Nike will relaunch its running websites soon as one and use the screen real estate a little better than as they do now.
Here are 2 mock-up’s for the Nike+ website.
