Seen advertising agency's website

By Marie Estaire

This mainly green and beige company website first catches the eye with its bold font and funny animated character, then with its concept of a store, where 3D images of goods that come live on loading and go still as you hover over them can be added to the “checkout”. There are also tiny objects you can drag around the page.

All around us* brand’s website

By Siarhei Plashchynski

Siarhei Plashchynski designed a trendy b/w page for a clothing brand featuring a custom cursor and a huge typography piece that moves below animated photos. Each photo leads to a new page with a detailed description and more hi-res photos of a product. All along the way, typography acts as one of the main characters interlaced in the gridded canvas.

Neha Hattangdi’s personal website

By Neha Hattangdi

Take a look at the one-piece portfolio for Neha Hattangdi, where project descriptions precede neatly arranged sets of images and video, some of which launch on load or are hidden in folded galleries. There are no extra distractive elements—just contrast above-all-page menus on both sides of the screen.

Belén Valverde’s portfolio

By Belén Valverde

Simple in structure and rich in contents, this graphic designer’s website puts all cards on the table from the onset. Vivid visuals take all of the screen widths and change at a comfortable pace, inviting you to explore further. A two-option menu in the upper right corner leads you to the gallery of Belén Valverde’s works with concise text and extra visuals on a click. At the bottom of the page, you’ll see a grainy video, which delicately finishes the viewing experience.

Anton Rahlwes’ personal website

By Anton Rahlwes

Anton Rahlwes created a minimalist portfolio where all of the texts stick to the top and above all page contents. The text tells the bare minimum, with the stress put on still images, slightly fading on hover, and strictly aligned on the invisible grid.

Heliotropy

by Studio CRONICA

A charged-up website lit by a yellow animated beam explores two stories of Heliotropy’s founders. Each of the personal pages appears brimmed with draggable text, photos, videos, handwritten notes, naive illustrations, and even embedded music balanced with a mono-colored background and smooth scroll.

Hayal & Hakikat

by Marina Meyer

The website tells a poignant story of Turkish convicts who had to be photographed with their palms on the show so the Sultan could decide whether they would live or die. As you scroll down the page, multiple centuries-old photos of people appear, flickering as if the photoshoot is still going on. The flow is sometimes interrupted by intertitles explaining one thing or another.
