Videos, videos and more videos, but at least it's they have created more than one clip for each characters and the quality of the execution should keep you watching for the other sections. The 'send to a friend' clip script is actually funny. Will this sell products? that's not the point, this is brand awareness and they should have enough material for TV ads and online advertising. http://nolaf.org/

inside.nike.com/..../mostwanted

The beauty in this site is not the cool videos or the great off-line campaign for the selected few that will get the chance to go through the selection process, no, the beauty is that the site take a blog format bringing in Tags and simplicity. The problem is that it relied to much on videos and that 3 campaigns (mostwanted, Boot Bamp, Cesc) running at the same time can dilute the message. They really should allow comments to show that it's not just a one way communication. http://www.nike.com/nikeos/p/nikefootball/en_GB/

A great link between the real world and the online one, NikeID get the kids involved by asking them to send a color picture to customized their shoes. The technology is interesting and the path of engagement should mean people would want to buy their personal shoes. But I would love to know if anyone is actually going to do this, will kids remember the short code when out and about (IT is 3464646402) ? will kids go online to see their design when they already got it on their phone? The 1/1 campaign is to me far more interesting. Shot your colours http://nikeid.nike.com

canneslions.com/winners/cyber/

If you only visit one site this week make it this one and browse the winners list from Cannes Cyber Lions, then show them to your client and account people and tell them "that's the sort of work we want to do with, and for your brand, not the usual shitty competition site that the marketing guy at [fill in big company name that has more money then sense here] though about during his morning dump on the toilet". Worth a try anyway, what have you got to loose? http://www.canneslions.com/winners/cyber/

After the Canne's Lion winner coming from Japan, more and more people are looking at the country outputs as the new trend to follow and it's fair to say the bar has been raise for European designers, coders and creative. This site does not disappointed as it actually takes an European scene for inspiration and add a Japanese twist to it. Remind me of Orisinal and Mario Paper, beautiful https://www.egao-sharp.jp/

julianvelard.com

Is it a promotional site? is it a game? is it an experience? is it a work of art? Well it's a bit of everything and the beauty of it is that by getting you hocked with the design and simple interactions you actually listening to the lyrics and getting fond of the artist when, to be honest, is music is pretty similar to a lot of things out there. Have a look at the 'information' section, it's the usual stuff you would expect and disappoint compare to the experience but the usual blog, behind the scene and links to various social network are represented and there is even a Tweeter feed, well done. http://www.julianvelard.com/

There is no doubt that the first impression is good, the full screen video and music make you want to book your plane ticket for next week-end. The calendar function with its flyer style image keep the club spirit going, more info could have been good or the possibility to download the calendar to your outlook or Google account would have been fun. It's such a shame that the gallery section doesn't display in full screen, a waste opportunity to show off here. The podcast is a really good idea to get the vibe of the club and get people interest and loyal to the club. Just a little more bling and the site would be slick as their dance floor. http://www.byblos.hr/

jumptothenextlevel.com

An English URL for a French site, trying to get the kids really...ok the design is cool even if heavily borrowed from eboy. The problems are numerous here, 1 - I need to register to enter the site and that always piss me of, 2- it's the same game, over and over again and not even an original one, 3- It's only a draw competition anyway. So unless I am a spotty teenager I don't see why I should bother...than again the site is probably working for their spotty teenagers target audience. http://www.jumptothenextlevel.com/

fashionatplay.ca

This is the sort of site that on one hand you will think: "who that's fantastic, I love the stop motion animation" and on the other hand you will think: "and?" it's only a small viral site that is done and dusted in 5 minutes. They should have at least provided more space to see the beautiful animations. the Facebook application is actually good for the audience, can wait to see a naked cube. http://www.fashionatplay.ca/

Beautifully animated, you can use your mouse to go up and down or simply rotate the tower. Impressive stuff but than what? I want more to be able to care, to come back and to share...and I want to download a printable sheet with instruction to be able to do the tower for real on my desk. http://www.ecodazoo.com/

unavenirsolide.com

A recruitment site that use a interesting navigation, POV (point of view) seems to become the new design in films these days so it's only natural that we start seeing it appearing on the web too; even if minimal here. The site could be mistaken for a film site due to the high quality of the 'trailers' presented here but dig deeper and there is tons of information and video reportage for young people to understand all the jobs related to the construction industry. The harder part will be to actually get the kids on the site to start with. http://www.unavenirsolide.com/
