Occassionally, when prancing around the Internet I’d find some sites that would make me say to myself “cool site”.
Sometimes, in rare times, I’d then come across website design that can make me cry. Not because that they are nice, But because they are f******g nice.
Recently, a post Smashing Magazine made me do just that. It posted an article by Torley Wong’s on great user interface ideas. (Link to original – “Creative User Interfaces in Modern Web Design” here).
I decided to check all of the websites out. And most of them really truly inspired me that I had to share with the team here. I’ve replaced the author; Torley Wong’s article with mine below. Feel free to visit the original article and read up on his thoughts. Some sites have also been omitted from my updated version as I believe, after checking the works, they did not really fit into the context of user interface design from the perspective that I am writing on.
Hope you enjoy it. And to the design team working with me, hope you are all truly inspired to go create stuff as good as these.

Dave Werner’s website is not new. It’s been around since 2006. And I first saw it was back then. Yet even till now (now being 2008) it is still innovative and ahead of the curve. What is more surprising was that he had created this site as part of his portfolio piece for his graduation. Yes. His student work kicks more ass than most industry veteran designers combined.

Vimeo is cool. Vimeo with HD is cooler. Vimeo with VimeoLand is coolest. Vimeoland is like watching a cartoon show with characters going around speaking in videos. This is probably experimental and a fun side project by the staff. But heck, it’s a way to show videos to the short-attention-span, visually oriented group.
