if you were familiar with the old AgencyNet site then you will know that at the time it was pretty cutting edge.
Well AgencyNet have released their latest version of the site and it is an absolute beast. Following the same theme as it’s predecessor, the new site uses a 3d animated cross section of their offices, each room representing a different section of the site. This time though they have really gone to town with some sections of the site resembling sites in themselves. I can’t really begin to imagine how long and hard they must have worked on this (well I can and it’s a long time and they must have worked really hard) but it’s really paid off. There’s some very simple yet effective twitter integration and so many nooks and crannies worth exploring that you can get lost in the site for some time. One of the highlights for me is the helicopter that you can fly using an iphone app. Although relatively pointless, it’s fun and It’s that type of attention to detail and creative use of technology that really makes them pioneers of this type of interactive design.
An old colleague of mine Agustin Sanchez works for them now as an Art Director. I have no doubt that some of the nifty ideas and probably the execution of them in the site were down to him.
This is actually real. The guy is Petr Spatina and is a musician from Czechoslovakia.

More superb interactive video execution from Kokokaka for Wrangler. The links such as Blue Bell on the left nav open other brilliant Wrangler sites, all by Kokokaka.

World renowned lighting artist and designer, Marcus Tremonto, has just unveiled his latest creations at Kidrobot in New York.
These whimsical ‘Lightbotz’ as they are called, take their inspiration from vintage toys, video games and sci fi/futuristic films, which have all been major interests of Tremonto for over 20 years. In creating these amazing objects, Tremonto has cleverly integrated various lighting elements to alter and enhance each of the Lightbotz’s unique characters.
Each limited edition Lightbot is handmade, numbered and signed by the designer in his New York studio. They are available for purchase through Kidrobot’s New York store.
I have just returned from a long trip to El Salvador and Guatemala, which was absolutely incredible. I had been looking forward to the trip for ages, from both a photographic standpoint and as it was my first time in Latin America.
