The global site for Bartle Bogle Hegarty (BBH), has been redesigned. It's a simple, but good looking site that focuses on the work. Definitely worth checking out. As with most great agency websites, the site was created by another agency, Sennep, in the UK.
Adobe has launched a new website at: www.adobecards.com to promote Creative Suite 3. The site starts with a single card, and as you move the scrollbar to the right, advances through a beautiful animation sequence. The site was created by Goodby, Silverstein & Partners.
Orange UK has launched a new website, created by Poke London. According to Ian Tait, one of the founding partners of Poke (who also writes a great blog), it's a "never ending web page." The site can be found at: www.goodthingsshouldneverend.co.uk. It may appear at first that there's not much there, but dig around a bit, and you'll find lots of things to click on.
I don't know what to call this other than an "interactive music video", but it's amazing. The site, built for the Arcade Fire for the song "Neon Bible", allows visitors to interact while the song is playing. But the site guides the user as well as allowing interaction, and the possibilities of what you can do change in conjunction with changes in the song. This is a must see... no word on who created the site.
A new site has been launched to promote Halo 3, which will be released later this month. It's a great interactive experience that focuses on a fictional "diorama" memorial created in the future to commemorate the war between humans and aliens. The site includes video and some interesting ways to navigate.
No word on who created the site, but I'm betting that some resourceful readers have the answer!
A co-worker of mine, Jason Fincanon, has just published a book that I feel is worth recommending. It's entitled "Creating Flash Advertising", and definitely stands out among existing Flash books. Why? Because it's targeted at advertising folks, and specifically addresses the types of things we're interested in, like Flash ad units, microsites, using video and more. Sure, I'm biased because I work with Jason, but he's filled a niche that wasn't being addressed, which is why you should totally buy it.
Couldn't just post one good site this Friday... there were more than a few worth mentioning.
Universe: By Jonathan Harris for Daylife: Great site that allows you to discover current news like you're traveling through the universe.
Twittervision: Nice mashup between Google Maps and Twitter... yes, you can stare at it for a long time, and there seems to be a ton of activity in Japan.
CozmoTV: Interesting site that allows users to create "channels" that pull video from sites such as YouTube and MySpace videos. I like the aggregation angle.
After several years with the same minimal, stark website, Wieden + Kennedy has launched a new redesigned site. As you can see, it's quite a drastic change. Definitely not your average agency site.

Wrangler has launched a good-looking new site in Europe. Check it out at eu.wrangler.com. No word on who designed the site.
