WDDG: War-Time Design Propaganda

Besides a brilliant company name (WDDG is short for World Domination Design Group), the smart execution in the style of WWII government propaganda videos is a load of fun. WDDG didn't take any shortcuts when producing content for each of their site's categories, continuing the vintage slideshow theme throughout. Sure, it's a bit cumbersome when trying to fetch a quick bit of information (a new video cues), and I'm sure SEO presents some challenges - but the site is a fun, playful and simple way to demonstrate their creativity. For an added bonus, view source: they even have fun with code!

Note: had WDDG linked in my favorites long ago, but finally getting around to writing about it now.

Honda Goes Green with Online Playground

I think the new Honda Problem Playground site one of my most favorite new sites. It offers a unique means of navigation by following a road map and dragging the screen to move about.

Another example of this site's quirkiness is that before users can play the video to see the new FCX car in action, they are required to first assemble a simple puzzle (of the video's first frame) beforehand. Not to mention the entire experience is helped along by tiny little people who lift, move and pull the pieces of content along.

And it's sure nice to see how Honda is harnessing hydrogen power for mass market (proposed) automobile production.
