I just love it when a site creates animations without the use of Flash. I like the idea of a rooftop view too—a nice change from the skies and skyscraper views we see so much. There only needs to be a bit of refining in the inside blocks of text, but other than that, I enjoyed the overall vibe of this site.
The hover effects on the side are all such fun. And the splatter shapes used as masks for the different image thumbnails in the gallery? Great idea.
This is what we call the full experience. From top to bottom you get immersed into the world created by the design. It’s probably the most enjoyable type of site. Using the branches as separators is brilliant, and all the little icons maintain that quirky, storybook look.
