Works:
UPS Widget:
http://www.widget.ups.com/en-gb/index.htmlThe UPS widget has a kewl design and a fun personality to go with it. The site has a clear clean design. I had no trouble finding my way around, and learning how fun shipping can really be. This design incorporates the integration of “real life” because the Widget has a MySpace page. Oh it is not an it, it is male and 100 years old. Check it out and may be you may want to be his friend.
http://www.myspace.com/upswidgetukAdobe Creative Mind:
http://www.unit9.com/creativemind/This site begins with an easy, clean user interface having only three options. It has a “just be creative” and “anything is possible” with Adobe theme. The different worlds are fun, interactive, and filled with clickable objects that wiggle or move in order to draw your attention toward them. Once clicked the most unexpected things occur. Try it for yourself!
Send in the Elf:
http://unit9.com/sendanelf/The Elf is fun and interactive. He has a personality and can even eat your mouse. He is clean and easy to use.
All in all I think Magic Sockets design’s are clean, user-friendly, and fun. They take the boredom out of a simple website site and create a fun user experience that will keep you talking about it for days.
