Hugo Boss E-Mag

Via Adverblog, I found out that Hugo Boss has an online magazine that talks about lifestyles and fashion.
It shows how the internet media, the online media is taking a big leap and a fast one regarding the traditional media and especially regarding Corporate Websites.

On the webiste, we can find interviews, articles, videos, podcasts about fashion related stuff.
Hugo Boss events are put ahead of other articles/news, and it is normal since it is THEIR online mag.
Hugo Boss commericals can also be seen on the site.
Well done Hugo and personnaly i think that most brands will follow...soon!

Samsung E900

Samsung has launched a new website to promote its E900 phone in Russia.

A magician invites visitors to explore the phone and an amazing soundtrack creates a nice virtual experience, combined with a perfect animation.

I didn't understand everything on the site sonce i don't read Russian ;)

But the website surely lacks interactivity with visitors.

Beat Box Mixer

R/GA has developed an interactive video and music tool that puts performances of famous beatbox musicians in the control of Web-site visitors.
The idea behind the tool is to show people how powerful broadband is, while pushing the capabilities of the Web to its limits. I like the mixes , and the sounds are amazing!
What lacks in this site is the flexibility and the easiness of composing tracks.
Anyway, it stays quite innovative.
