I’m not usually down to spew out the same old content everyone else does. Not that every design blog regurgitates the same shit over and over again, copying, borrowing and stealing content from each other, but lately I’ve noticed it’s becoming more of a trend than writing your own stuff. In light of the whole, not yet a problem type situation, I’ve selected a few sites that I’ve come to enjoy. I’ll share them in short, not because someone else thinks it worth a mention, but because I really like them and they influence me in one way or another. Someone somewhere is probably writing about them but I don’t give a shit if they are. So there.

The first site is a more recent one, NOLAF for Frito Lay done by Element79. I think it perfectly exemplifies a viral site and puts the rest of the shitty half assed “viral” marketing attempts to shame. Beautifully written, shot well, very user friendly and most importantly gives me a chuckle. I like it when a company can laugh at themselves a little bit. The next site is the IAD08 site. I like throwback and this site hits it on the head. There is a lot of other great shit about it, but I’ll let you jump in to see it for yourself. Really quickly the others ones are the WDDG site, which has been a fav since like 02. The last site I’ve come across recently is that of Mekanism. I’m pretty sure they had some involvement in the NOLAF site as well. Ill hit you with more info on all of these sites later on in detail but for now, take a peek and get wise to it. Good stuff.
