justGREAT!

MADinSPAIN was justGREAT!
The three day trip with the TFE-design team to Madrid was a big success. There were lots of inspiring speakers, but the ones that really stood out and inspired me the most (on all kinds of levels) were AllOfUs, Group94, Pleix and de-construct:

AllOfUs:
A really cool agency that showed some amazing mobile phone apps and interactive installations. They gave me the inspiration to create new experiments (if only they could give me some more time as well).

Group94:
I was already familiar with their amazing work, but it was really nice to see how they handle their projects and how they solved some complicated Flash problems with really simple solutions. The most surprising thing about Group94 is that they work with only 8 people and yet manage to create so much fantastic products.

Pleix:
A group of freelancers with various disciplines who join together to create cool commercials, music videos and non-commercial films.
site: http://www.pleix.net/

de-construct:
A webdesign agency who have a great vision towards user experience on their websites. A nice example of this is a site they made for Panasonic:
http://lumixdifference.archive.de-construct.com/
The three cameras that are exposed on the site are presented in a short story. Each camera has it’s own story in which it’s characteristics are displayed. This way the user is not directly confronted with all kind of specs (to compare to find the right camera), but he can simply select a camera by a specific purpose. A very nice approach towards potential customers.

Of course there were a lot of other interesting speakers, but for now I’ll leave this post to these four agencies because I need my time to work out my newborn ideas.

Stay tuned….
