Rarely have I been so inspired by a designer's website. In fact, maybe never... Dave Werner has put together one of the most impressive, detailed, extraordinary portfolios online today. He's only 25 years old, but his site is breathtaking. Don't miss it.
I thought I'd share some images, for those who aren't compelled to click over. Here's an illustration from Dave's about/contact page:
And these two images are from his most impressive work, an online, interactive book/video game called "Cadence of Seasons." I can barely wait to read it. If you only click on one link when you visit the site, make it that one.
I'm glad I'm not in Dave's field, because I'd hate to have to measure myself against his work, particularly at such a young age. The next time someone asks me if there's a use for Flash, I'm pointing to this site.
Hmm...the website is like 1999's goals (pre-Jakob Nielsen) with today's tech and aesthetic...of course, I'm glad I don't have to talk clients out of building those kinds of ultra-flash sites anymore, it's almost kind of refreshing to see one again, and so beautifully done, at that.
It's too bad Flash 7 is the lastest version of Flash on linux, as I'd love to see what what the buzz is about.
I'm not a big anti-flash zealot (particularly for cases like design portfolios where the presentation is everything), but it still has its tradeoffs.
Good God, that's amazing.
Perfect timing for a project I'm working on. I'm getting a ton of great ideas! Thank you for finding this and pointing it out.
Oh, and the kid's a genius. There is so much great stuff handled in a whole different way it's incredible.
WOW... I think I looked at every single little thing... or tried to, anyway... very intriguing.
Damn, the guy's great
