I’m very proud to announce that today my website for Kenneth Elgaard receives the Favourite Website Award.
Kenneth Elgaard is a young Danish artist. The design for his website was created with his art and graphic style in mind. I wanted to create a small world with some of the same elements used in his art pieces. The navigation is intuitive, simple and still somewhat different.
Here’s a couple of navigation tips many visitors probably won’t even find out:
- Double click images in the galleries to reset them to 100% size.
- Use keys up/down and left/right for navigation in the 4 subsites.
- Click the small symbols below the logo to go directly to another subsite.
- Reload site intro to see a random symbol.
- Move your mouse over the corners of the images in “contact” and “curriculum vitae” and they stick!
All 3d elements of the website is created with the native 3D support in Flash Player 10. This is something that proved difficult, but very beneficial for the overall performance and appearance in this project. I’ll soon write a blog post about the some of the technical aspects of this site, with focus on the 3D elements (z-sorting, scaling, shading etc.)
- You can have a look at the site here.

Have a merry christmas and get in touch if you can use me for freelance Flash projects in 2010.
