Really cool abstract flash site.

splash

Ok first thoughts, "Oh no a pop-up."

I find the navigation annoying, why do I have to wait this long to see a nav???? Oh god it happens on every page.

I don't like. I really don't like it.

I love Tokyo Plastic

They break all the rules we normally lecture people on - obtuse navigation - music/sound effects you can't kill, but I really don't care, I love the style, love the illustrations and love the animation.

I guess they for me are just one of those things that are good enough in their own right I forgive the rule breaking, as a lot of great designs can do. The site is getting on for a good few years old now though.

yeah bit old (3 years back?!) but good all the same

I know it's been around awhile, but I just remembered it today and figured i'd up it to the forum.

pgo · 23-07-2007, 01:05

This again? I think it's more like 4 or 5 years old.

Yeah, it's cool and all but it ain't good web design. Do they actually do anything - do they have a portfolio? I played with it for 5 minutes and didn't see anything.

And "abstract"? What? I'd say it's pretty representational. Sorry. It irritates me when people throw around the word "abstract" and apply it to anything that isn't a 1:1 representation of reality.

It's more like an online exhibit than a website, would be interesting to see what they do next for a site though. Some of their work is in the Workshop section though.

Is it actually for any purpose? If it's simply an example of Japanese design (in this case Flash), I'd rather see a rock garden.

Maerk · 23-07-2007, 07:26

As stated it does showcase some of their work, and is a walking talking example of their skills and abilities... bit like telling off a film director for having showreel instead of stills really? :P

It is the age old problem of having a style over no style to show off skills, everyone's tastes are different, I like the style so I forgive it for its sins :P
