Every week at Fueled, our London-based Creative Director, Rob Palmer, shares a handful of inspirational websites with our teams in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. This weekly email acts as a virtual water cooler, encouraging us to congregate across time zones and discuss what brands and blogs are doing to push new trends in web design.

KITAMURA 

The Kitamura website is a fearless mixture of video and interactive elements and sound. The website encourages the user to experience the rotations that a person's body undergoes during a night of sleep. With each scroll of the mouse, another body is flung into the center of the screen in a new position, ultimately culminating in the 7:00am wake up and the product that helps you get there.

Andeirnerseite.video

An interactive music video. Working much like a game, Andeirnerseite welcomes the user to hit the spacebar to switch scenes in the music video back and forth, creating a unique movie each time. The timeline also guides users to switch video at particular moments to earn points.

Indian Type Foundry

What would have been a simple database of fonts, Indian Type Foundry is a stunning mix of animated elements, color and interactivity. Each font page has clear breakdowns of how the font can be used and its unique elements. A masterful display of how simple things can be made to be beautiful.

Swiss Army Man

Who needs a rag doll when you can abuse a digital one instead. The promotional website for the movie Swiss Army Man starring Daniel Radcliffe lets you manipulate a lifeless (sort of) Radcliffe by flinging him around, tapping his tummy (which actually makes him fart), and typing commands which causes actions and delivers toys to work with.
