Volyn tractor
by Andriy Smolyar
Andriy Smolyar designed this website for a client that sells parts for tractors online. He opted for a simple, user-friendly landing page with an unusual visual style and tone of voice for the industry. Video embeds, funny emojis and a bit of on-hover animation made it even more appealing. Andriy also added a panel with reviews and a contact form to effectively attract new customers.

On the non-objective nature of time
by Artem Matyushkin, Liza Tyutyaeva, Vanya Koltsov, Roma Belyakov
Non-Objective is a visual research project dedicated to the nature of time. The digital installation consists of dozens of animated clocks, each showing time in a unique manner. The creative team used the freedom of Readymag’s blank canvas and added cyclic animations to express the illusory flight of time.

The Museum of Online Artifacts resembles an online gallery, which showcases digital experiments that stand out from traditional design categories. Here, animations are a critical part of objects, completing them or adding an extra dimension. Anton masterfully guides the visitor through the white-walled gallery with the help of on-scroll and on-hover animations.

The project features recognizable brick-like elements, GIF animation on the main page, custom fonts and an animated gallery.

Take a look at this minimalistic website created by Alexey Rybin for Daria Fomina, a photographer and set designer. The portfolio has little text, as the focus follows images. With the help of on-scroll animations, the gallery slowly unfolds, each half at its own speed, giving visitors an overview of creative works. There is also a pop-up image sequence that adds extra interactivity.
