I am re-organizing my on-line portfolio… I tried to put this widget along with the others on this blog… Did not work. I have no clue… Oh well.

Beautiful! Alfa Romero 159 | Vivez l’expérience 159 screenshots:

Rollovers above are beautifully lit when you go over each rectangle. There is also a sound that plays.

I love the typography and the colors on each section. They know how to use the big quotation marks, imo.

Nice subtleties added, like a few leaves falling in the background and the street lights glowing big to small.

Rollovers on the yellow text was also nice and clean — gray rectangle underneath on hover.

Animated lightening in the background.

I also enjoyed the photo treatment on the images, like the lense flares.

Site was designed by Soleil Noir.

It is pretty weird seeing my stuff on other people’s pages. Like, I googled my name a few minutes ago and hit the images and found one of my online portfolio samples on a Chinese site:  http://www.xinoa.cn/design/pingmian/200709/912.html — I think it is a blog site and it deals with design? At least partially? I need to confirm with Amandabot…

Anyway, technology is kinda amazing…

Starbucks Coffee at Home is another beautiful flash site. Amul showed me this one and I forgot to post it… oopsie!

Why do I like it so much?

1. beautiful design
2. awesome roll-overs
3. colors are amazing
4. cute little interactive feature
5. happy birdie chirp noises
6. cute loader
7. you can get a complimentary sample!

Bee-autiful site I saw from The FWA — Häagen-Dazs – Help the Honey Bees. Below is the honey bee I created — so very cute — I love this kinda stuff!

Not too long ago, I read about someone who kept his ideas and concepts on index cards and filed them away in a box. It was his recipes he collected throughout the years and he often reflected back on them. He said his ideas were still relevant. So, here I am, trying to do the same.

I have been reading a lot lately and looking through all my notebooks from my past… I sure did have a lot of things going on in my head… And I still do now… Some of the things are very similar too. I wrote down some important things from a podcast I heard…

And some key points from a magazine article I read..

Now I hope I can put these notes into good use.

Very cute and interactive flash site — I would like to build something like this for Hello Kitty and her friends.

Volll.com is a beautiful site that Amul showed me — he always shows me the coolest stuff out there… so clean, great animation, bright happy colors, very thought out… Ireally appreciate smart design.
