Fun Interactive Websites

 

While reading an article ("Creating a Lasting Impression") in the Smashing Magazine blog, I came across some  interactive websites. The first one,“Karlo Jurina Selbstgespräche” by Britzpetermann, is a site created for the musician, Karlo Jurina. It visualizes his music with an array of colorful icons that move and undulate to every note of the songs. It's mesmerizing to watch. It's like an orchestra of icons. I'm amazed that such simple icons were used in such a creative way.

Another website I found was the "Hidden Heroes" project by Grimm Gallun Holtappels. This site commemorates the simple things in life, from rubber bands to light bulbs. It has a beautifully simple design consisting of brightly color bars. When clicked, these bars reveal an object and a sound related to that objects. It's very entertaining to click around and hear the various sounds. Like the first website, simple shapes, bright colors, and interactive sound and movement combine to make an entertaining and beautiful website.
