The Unloader is quite a funny website. You can upload one of your local boring documents and pick one of the three ways how you want it to be destroyed. After receiving the file, you can really see how your document comes out of the printer. Unfortunately you won’t see the actual destruction of your document, but a pre produced video which is still impressive.
This campaign website for some Nokia mobile phones, was made by Farfar and Perfect Fools.
This Is Sand is a website where you can drop digital sand. You can pick any color and when you’re finished you can submit your drawing to the gallery. That’s where you can see amazing images like this one of Chairman Mao Ze Dong.

I’ve been following the development of FLARToolKit for some time now and it’s getting more interesting day by day. What it is? FLARToolKit is a Flash Actionscript port of ARToolKit, a software library for building Augmented Reality applications. Huh? Maybe you’ve seen some really cool Augmented Reality videos before. The FLARToolKit will bring all of this to your webbrowser when you have a webcam and a recent Flash Player.
This is one of the most exciting Flash things I’ve seen for a while now. Saqoosha, a Japanese Flash developer, made this little demo: Desktop Fireworks. You will need a the Flash Player 9, a webcam and you’ll need to print out this marker. I’ve already did some tests together with Papervision3D and I can say we’ll probably see more of this soon. This is Flash at it’s best baby!
Yosuke Abe is an Art Director at tha ltd., a Japanese web design agency. He is one of the creators of FFFFOUND!, one of my favorite websites. I’ve featured almost every project by tha ltd., I guess I’m a true fan of their work. They did the Design and the Elastic Mind website, they made that lush screensaver called Dropclock, that funny Softbank website and the multi user UNIQLO Grid.
Back to Yosuke, he did some nice projects himself too. Here are 2 which I really like.
‘JOCATORE / ALLENATORE‘, you can switch the focus of the video between the ball and the window.
The second project is called ‘Family Affair‘, a very funny video about the Jackson family.
The adidas Y-3 is one of the few websites who relaunch twice a year. It’s a fashion thing I guess, adidas Y-3 is a cooperation between adidas and Yohji Yamamoto. Over the years, the website was always on the forefront of Flash based web design. But it is nice to see that they are cutting down on the effects and go for a more straight forward approach. I’ve noticed this on many websites lately, simplicity is making a big comeback. So maybe the spring/summer 2009 website will be mix between Flash and HTML.
This womens shoe called ‘Molnet’ is definitely one of the weirdest things I’ve ever seen with 3 stripes on. It is so hideous that is cool again, just never ever put those red things on.
You’ll have to visit Telescopic Text to experience what it is. You should!
Nike is really pushing it lately. New technologies, new products, events and tons of projects … you just can’t get around it. So I just came across this video on the Nike Sportswear website. It’s a cooperation between ‘Will It Blend‘ and Nike. Everyone knows those ‘Will It Blend’ videos, but this time Nike asked them to blend a true classic, the Air Max 90 Infrared with the new Air Max Current. The result is an Air Max 90 Current Infrared, not really a surprise.
I think this is the first time I see a brand destoying its own product on video (besides the car industry). Most brands are so anxious about thing like that.
By the way, it’s really nice to see Nike shifting away from full flash websites to hybrid ones. I also like the new look of them. Hey Nike! Now fix the Nike+ website asap!
Jello Time by Rafaël Rozendaal. You’ll have to go to that website to see what it’s about. His other projects like ColorFlip or Paper Toilet are fun too.

This project called ‘Slit-scan Cam‘ by Casey Pugh has exactly the same video effect as ‘Chronotopic Anamorphosis‘ by André Mintz. The only difference is that Casey build it with Flash, so you can try it out for yourself if you have a webcam.
play > smart is a small website to promote the smart in Japan. You can customize your own car and the drive it in simple game. You can even printout a paper model of your design. The game itself is quite simple, you just have to follow the numbers. In the end you’ll get a drawing, almost like those GPS ones. Worth checking out.
