When you find a website that you enjoy using it is usually worthwhile trying to find the link on the page that will direct you to the designer. The other day I did just that and was lead to the Outside Line website [which is based out of the UK - London to be exact].
What struck me first was the intro video. I usually skip past these videos whenever possible as they are usually a waste of time, but after watching the clip I realized that it was a fun way to showcase some of their recent work.
Knowing that we will soon be making some of our own designs come to life somehow for our Information Design class, I am feeling a tad jealous of what some people are capable of doing - it's pretty neat seeing the designs come to life. Anyway, click on over and enjoy.

Side note, one of their clients is Diesel - the link provided sends you to the Diesel site that talks about designing for the side of a prominent building. If you get scared when faced with a blank canvas, this probably wouldn't be your kind of thing. The possibilities are endless. The winner of the Zurich is pretty awful if you ask me, but there's no accounting for taste - to each his own.

Outside Line's site was great! I usually skip those intro/flash things too, but this one was great for showing off new stuff, you're right. It's not so slow that you get bored, but it's not so fast that you're inclined to have a seizure. And I probably saw a whole bunch of work I'd have maybe skipped over in their portfolio section.
And yes, I'm definitely a little jealous and intimidated.
PS
I like the Zurich winner. It's simple and clean and I like how the lines of it echo the antennae and cables on the roof.
So there.
Gah! I felt like I might have had a seisure, and yet I couldn't look away from the intro that site. Interesting. It was so full of energy and life, that was oddly magnetic.
I can't even begin to imagine how that website was designed. Sigh, as if I didn't already have enough of an inferiority complex when it comes to web design.
