Some recent scrapes from Newstoday … 

 

Partizan, the French production company of music videos and television spots, recently launched a new site. Its motion graphics sister company, Partizan Lab, has done likewise. You can view videos and animations from Partizan’s extensive roster of artist / directors. You may have to set aside a spare afternoon to do it with, though …

 

The FWA has conveniently listed its Top Twenty list of photography websites since 2000. When cold-browsing flickr doesn’t cut it … Sometimes you need a sexy interface to get you in the mood.

 

The new campaign to get people to drink the cow includes two fun and outrageous flash sites, based on the notion of extraterrestrial civilizations running low on milk, and suspiciously, the corresponding phenomenon of cow abductions here on earth. This is a positive development for the dairy folks, if only because their erstwhile Got Milk? milk-on-upper-lip was a little disturbing and off-putting, at least me. After all, if you really think about it, drinking milk (I’m not talking about eating ice cream or cheese, but drinking milk) is a fairly revolting act. Better to market liquid animal product by wrapping some high-flying concepts and flashy interactivity at it, rather than emphasizing the physical consumption of it.

Attik launched a new portfolio site documenting their thoroughly beautiful body of work. The site is a little annoying to navigate, and the copy is client-directed and adver-speaky (then again, who reads these kinds of sites anymore?), but nuggets of goodness can be found throughout. Perhaps my favorite feature is the context-appropriate wallpapers, a smart and uncommon idea, and which are gorgeously rendered.
