Hyper Island



So I'm an Art Director at an advertising agency. The agency itself specializes in technology and the web. So you can say I'm an Interactive Art Director. That said, it's always a great pleasure to see engaging work on the web.

Enter the Hyper Island.

This site is for a school in Sweden, who actually has a course in Interactive Design, of which the site I'm talking about is made for. What I really like about this site, the intro to the site and all the subsequent sections are little short animations that are a completely throwback to the Golden Age of Industrial films. They're absolutely charming, artful, and being in the industry, at times hilarious clips.

Even if you see it for nostalgoia alone, it's well worth the visit.

Check it out.
