I love this narrative. "Writer's Block" is an amazing narrative and creative piece. It's like a perfect video to describe what really happens when people start a project from scratch. There's not really much to say...the video pretty much sums it up. Every project starts with deliberation, Then goes to confusion. Then you start something. You fix it, then remake it. Then you add too it, and finish it up. There are so many steps inbetween; little tweaks and changes.
Born Magazine is also a really interesting website. I like really simple colors and simple layouts and this one is very very simple. To me, the homepage is kind of like an old styled newspaper. The intro is also great, where the words open the screen and they keep changing. "Born is ____". I also like that the website essentially has a screensaver where it replays the intro screen until you perform an action on the site. The amount of content is also huge. All of the different videos are awesome. It can give a lot of inspiration to people looking through to find some interesting items. I didn't even know and of the content on the site. They are all essentially narratvie pieces, following a story.
Snowbound was also a great piece. I loved the layout of it, very simple concept but done incredibly well. I love the style that it uses. Every scene is kind of like making a statement. It's also like a wheel of scenes, where one will end and then the screen will rotate to the next one. The background fits each statement well and the imagery they use to accompany it is great as well. They way they seem to write each word and vary the size each time is cool, and most of the time there is a transparency on the text which creates a great contrast. Scenes seem to develop each time you view them, not just flash onto the screen. Overall it's just plain awesome.
