WeFail Lies Cause They Actually RULE Web Design

Thursday, September 15th, 2005

Way too many websites think they’re being innovative just because they have a spot of Flash animation, but Martin and Jordan at WeFail know how to combine graphic design, Flash, and wicked cool sounds into an almost cinematic web experience that is more like watching a film short than visiting a website. With images that zoom in and out of one another and movements that don’t apply to real-life physics, WeFail websites make some uncomfortable with their unconventional nature. But not us. We’d love one of their websites.

Unfortunately, unless you’ve got wads of cash, you probably won’t be able to afford a website by these guys. And nor can we.

Take A Psychedelic Journey With Zoomquilt

Thursday, September 1st, 2005

Speaking of zooming into shit, the Zoomquilt is the epitome of Flash zooming magic. A collaboration of multiple artists, the Zoomquilt is a vivid painted journey through numerous habitats, from deep forests to what could be the remains of a long lost empire. Imagine falling straight through a neverending world of randomness, and you might have an idea of what to expect. Look for Zoomquilt online, and you’ll find one of the sweetest visual trips this side of acid.
