STEP INSIDE
As Tiffany Meyers observes in her overview of the 100 winners, one can’t peg 2009 as the year of any specific color or typographic convention. But the winning projects are reflective of today’s increasingly diverse design discipline. In fact, one has to wonder if there is any longer such a thing as a design discipline—in light of today’s fast-changing and even amorphous practice, the word discipline seems a little out of place.

Best of web 2005: PERSONAL PORTFOLIOS (cont'd)

www.hello-sexy.com
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.
