Log on to www.hello-sexy.com, and you’ll be presented with two simple
options: “Work” or “Play.” Both are offered up in fluid green boxes
that grow and shrink in tandem when you select one. As you explore designer
Ian Coyle’s work, additional boxes pop out to display projects and
then close sequentially when you move your way back through the site. It’s
an experiment in organic motion online, and a site that was meant to push
Coyle’s technical and design skills.
Coyle is a founder of interactive firm FL2, so his personal portfolio
wasn’t necessarily meant to land work. “I wanted to share
who I am and what I can do,” he says. “I already have a business.
I’m already doing what I like to do.” And that passion carries over
to Hello Sexy.
If you enlarge an image in the photography section to full size,
for example, you can use the space bar and arrow keys to make the
menu boxes disappear. It’s a trick that gives you an unobstructed
view of the image—and proof positive that Coyle’s always pushing
his work.
