Artist Exploration: Alexandre Soubrier

Alexandre Soubrier created the site http://www.moonpalace.fr/ to showcase his work and projects as a freelance designer though an interactive flash site. I found the overall design concept appealing because it is both simple and unique at the same time. When I rolled over each of the "moons" the central planet stoped its rotation making its individual parts, such as the lighthouse, or the ship on the ocean more clear. Also, each of these areas of the planet have their own timelines which cycle, like the waves or the trees blowing in the wind. By navigating the mouse to the different "moons" orbiting around the central planet, I was able to explore the different projects completed by the artist include a variety of flash sites, animation for friends, logo designs, still drawings, and more in-depth advertising projects. The music and sound effects complement the design of the site, and there is a link to the musician's website http://www.potenciel.com/ which is also a flash site designed by Soubrier.
