Welcome to the Friday roundup, as always here are couple of outstanding sites we’ve seen around the web this week.
Red Bull Project X
http://www.shaunwhite.com/projectx/?fbid=tMLRI5AR53b#/lifestyle
First up is Red Bull Project X, and their new site for Shaun White which successfully fuses classic design techniques with some leading edge web techniques. The large background site is perfect for showcasing the scale of “the secret halfpipe” and uses nice pop-up messages to explain in further detail what it’s all about. This is complemented nicely by some different but intuitive menu buttons, complete with large typography. With the site mostly created in Flash the designers have used the technology well with subtle movement on each page making the images seem even larger and more dramatic.
Pampaneo

As a contrast Pampaneo is an altogether more traditional layout. This is no bad thing though, with some thoughtful illustrations throughout the site giving a playful and childish feel. As with Project X the site uses some minimal but effective flash in the header illustrations, including a charming spaceship complete with alien. Unfortunately we can’t comment too much about the content as our Spanish is not so great in the Jelly office!
