This week’s recommended site is Interactive Art Director 08 - a nice new site from the students of Hyper Island Sweden. It combines both a nice concept and a slick-looking execution:
I like the 60s “public service announcement” style - it can be hard to do retro but this one gets it absolutely spot-on, especially the faded audio and the old-school voice narrating. Coupled with the quality of the animation and the variety in illustration methods - blending in contemporary items such as computers and mice pointers into the dated look & feel, and the result is a really nice way of promoting these students’ work.
