Welcome to F:E:D - [fresh electronic delivery]
There is a passion that surrounds design. You can get totally burnt out at times - then talk to someone who is just getting into it or has just learned a new technique... and that is all it takes. Boom! You are back on this kick like you've never explored it before. You are renewed. Much of the time it is fellow designers who bring you back to essence of why you started - to create, share and inspire each other. That is a wonderful thing.


ora-ito
http://www.ora-ito.com/
3d renders of product design for some big companies and some I haven't heard of yet. The imagery is top notch. Definately some Maya wizards at work.

Michael-Latimer
http://www.michael-latimer.com/illustration/
This site caughy my eye with some very cool skateboard artwork. Michael has a fun style of illustration of packed in characters and symbols that are bursting out of cluster.

Newstoday Features
http://newstoday.com/certified/archive_content_flkrt.php
Newstoday - a killer design portal - threw up a page of past feature sites aptly named: Certified. This is a major list of great sites. Bookmark it and dive on through when you can!

Zeyko Küchen
http://www.zeyko.com/
Dig the feature and details slider when viewing a product. Sub menus to see all the handles, fronts, worktops, etc. The videos of the kitchen areas where the man demos the items for you. Tight. The memory box is a great feature!

Nike Free
http://www.nike.com/freeeurope/
Nike could probably publish a book of all their web design and it would dominate. Nike Free has some great moves inside. The bottom nav once your inside a topic is elastic and fun. Enter the Discover section and zoom through the ground planes.

Bacardi Mojito
http://www.bacardimojito.com/
Mission accomplished. Viewing the mojito getting mixed in auto play mode with the island rhytm sounds in the distance - I think that most will desire a drink. Plus mojito is fun to say.

RedBull Creativity Contest
http://www.redbullcreativitycontest.be/
An open canvas that slides around from section to section. You can pick up objects and bring them into other parts of the site. Use the nav or travel by getting your mouse close to the edges. g94 strikes again - great implementation as usual.

Conclave Obscurum
http://conclaveobscurum.ru/
Creepy. Captivating sounds with each interaction (especially the section change sound). The start page taunts you to make a selection with an evil abstract clock timer. There is also a live journal you can explore for more.
