Magnivate delivers irresistible graphics and a huge amount of interactive goodness. Oh and I think there is some content in there somewhere, but really who cares. This is a unapologetically fun showcase for a clearly very talented multi-disciplined agency.

Daffy’s

The new Daffy’s site is bold with accomplished typography and contrasting color schemes. Sure the navigation borders on insanely annoying and there is a strong feeling of style over substance;this is fashion label after all.

Our top five favourite flash screensavers

presstube screensaver

To kick things off we have a mind melting animation from the super talented presstube. The above image really does not do this one justice as it really is an infinite loop of crazy presstube goodness. The screensaver is available for the mac and pc and is guaranteed to make you feel pretty damn weird after while.

polar clock screensaver

The polar clock has been a huge success for fellow Flash blogger Gabriel Bucknall a.k.a pixelbreaker. With 10 trillion downloads, a feature in Wired magazine and more variations than Windows Vista, the Polar Clock once again proves simple ideas are always the best.

Fliqlo clock screensaver

Not content with the minimalism of the polar clock? Fliqlo takes it a step further with a modern take on the ubiquitous flip clock. Beloved by design obsessives around the world, Fliqlo is a monitor stable not to be messed with.

veer screensaver

The ever impressive Veer offer this retro styled screensaver. A nice little bonus is if you are rocking duel monitors you get different portraits on each one. Its really quite odd, but you can`t put a price on the beautiful graphics and bemused looks from your co-workers.

Detroit Underground`s screensaver

Finally we have my personal favourite from Detroit underground. Almost as old as the Internet itself and with a logo designed by the legendary Build its a randomised festival of illegible typography. Allegedly there is a clock in there somewhere, but we are more interested in the delightful glitches and stream of abstract animation.

All of these screensavers were built using Flash, if you would like to make your own screensaver check out the excellent freeware instant storm. If your favourite screensaver was not featured, let us know in the comments.

Update:
uniqlock

Thanks to commenter MPD, we have a 6th entry; Uniqlock. A intoxicating mix of music, dance and erm.. time keeping. I am not entirely sure what its all about, but I know i like it!

Nim’s journey

Nim`s journey Nims journey

I have been following Ola Schubert`s work since I stumbled upon the charming Goober story many years ago. Up until that point I had not really seen Flash a serious tool for creating complex animation (we are talking about Flash 5 here!). Ola proves that its not the tools, but the talent that really counts.

From the looks of the tantalizing intro sequence for his latest project: Nim`s journey, its another symphony of beautiful Photoshop backgrounds and painstaking timeline animation. Its a hugely ambition project; a full length movie made in Flash. I have no idea when or if it will ever be finished, but I am eagerly awaiting each update.
