And when I say *might* be, I mean, they really are.
First one is of AgencyNet, a design firm with locations in Florida and New York City. While the opening scenes of the site have you floating through clouds as inspirational words on innovation fly by are amazing themselves, the truly innovative piece is the homepage. It's displayed as a design studio on multiple levels, with people working at their desks or discussing other design processes. Throughout the layout, you can click on the people to read their latest Tweets or even click on the walls to change the lighting in the studio.
At the bottom of the studio is a pool table with a projector screen behind it. This is where the portfolio for AgencyNet resides. Upon clicking on this a new screen comes up, and highlights of the company's work are displayed, showing recent works for Jay-Z and Bacardi. There is also a great video that accompanies this.
Personally I love how over the top the entire site is, and by making it fun I want to click around and see what AgencyNet represents.
The other site I found was a portfolio for Dave Werner. While it may not be as flashy as the first site, the homepage is really what caught my eye. All of his work is scattered about in a giant pile, similar to throwing a bunch of old photographs on the floor, and you can sort through it and pick the sections that you would like to learn about. If this is too messy for you, you can simply use the tabs at the bottom of the screen.
Once a section of work is selected, you are taken to a page devoted to that work. One such page is for the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. On one half of the page, a video plays describing the center itself as well as his creative process in designing a new identity for it. On the other half, viewers can browse through pamphlets and brochures that Werner designed. This simplicity makes the site easy to browse, but still interesting enough to keep reading.
