Would you like to revise some of the things you had a chance to learn in primary school? Playing a game called BBC Questionaut, a Flash game developed by Amanita Design you have a chance to do it in a pleasant, entertaining way. In a game you get a chance to travel across the knowledge universe visiting different planets and solving the puzzles and answering different questions divided into 8 categories. The quiz questions you will have a chance to answer include mathematical problems, biology, physics, writing etc.

Astonishing picturesque graphics combined with the sound effects and beautiful music created by Floex (Tomas Dvorak). It was a pleasure for me to play this game and admire the beauty of the world created by the talented Czech designers from Amanita Design studio.

It is blank is a studio based in Vilnus, Lithuania. It was founded by the photographer Paul Paper and graphic designer Griskevicius Jurgis. They work in different areas combining art and technology: graphic design, photography, branding, programming etc.

I first visited their portfolio via link on the website of a musician, Michael Fakesch. The Fakesch's site is very eyecatching and memorable. The coloured blocks tilting from the top have so much visual power- its simplicity and nice usability solutions are the power of this website.

dontclick.it - don't click it

dontclick.it - don't click it

Have you ever thought of a website that is navigated without clicking the mouse button? hmm, you think that it's impossible?

Take a tour on the dontclick.it

The website is a project made by Alex Frank as a work for the diploma in Communication Design at the University Essen-Duisburg.(lxfx.de)

The idea of the website is that the fictional Research Institute that makes research on the new ways of web navigation. The whole concept and the way it is created gives much fun and pleasure.

Try it yourself and remember - DON'T CLICK IT!

Erik Natzke keeps amazing me while I browsed through his collection of works in his portfolio. Every work aims to attract and suprise the viewer- his playing with shapes, colours, combinations of different patterns in every single piece of his work are just incredibly good.

The techniques Erik Natzke is using are also quite original. He is playing with the photos using Flash with Actionscript generating the deformations and patterns. You could see how transformed the original scene is in the two pictures below: (1) is the image Erik Natzke was playing with and (2) is the final result.
