Compiling online treasure

Websites are getting cooler and cooler these days so I find myself getting harder to be impressed. However there are several websites that pique my curiosity. They are visually pleasing and cool design-wise so do come and visit them. If you have more web links, I will definitely welcome the extra info!
All State Garage
I’m not a motorcycle enthusiast but the video of the team building a bike from scratch to finish is rather amazing.
Whippet Grey
I love the pop-out card idea for each ambiance: Curious Object, Secret Garden, The Den, and Scrummy Treats.
Dodge Quest
A promotional game for Dodge Quest Project Committee, you will help Koronet to attain his goal to propose and woo Lucy. The 2D display brings me back to my Mario Bross day.

Online magazine publisher

Previously I have talked about iPaper, a document reader format built for the Internet. Now there is new website called Issuu, which enables you to convert your documents into magazine-style online publications that can be viewed directly in a web browser. Like youtube and iPaper, the users can publish their documents, then browse through other members’ works and add their favourites to the ‘living libraries’. Furthermore, users can upload the Issu document as part of their blogs or websites. I think that at least on the surface, Issuu is offering the same service with blogs and iPaper but they are aimed to those that still prefer the magazine format. However it is a great tool for small publisher to reach global readership or for those looking for rare zines.

Try it from another side

Competing with giant companies like Nike and Adidas is never easy, smaller company has to be more clever. This is what Nomis is doing with their anti-hype TV commercial: Damn Boots.
