There are many amazingly talented individuals and organizations out there, providing rich interactive experiences for us all to enjoy online. Few stand out in particular as true innovators that have shaped the way we design for and also view the internet. These(I think) include:
2Advanced
Although many view them as out of date, still living in 2000 with flash sites covered in 'techy' styling. Let's not forget who really started the whole trend. Their high impact flash experiences and vast array of high end clients is amazing....even these days. I wouldn't be surprised if their annual turnover was outstanding.
*Group 94
I'm often presented with people that have no idea who these guys are. Understandable considering they seem fairly low key. However, every site launched creates a buzz and wins some sort of award. Their flash CMS applications seem pretty damn special. Browsing their portfolio they maintain a consistent 'less is more' in contrast to 2advanced^. For their higher end campaigns - take a look at EA's crysis site for some true interactive content. May not look like much but try creating a flash game incorporating that level of 3D, texturing and interactivity.
The Big Noob
What blogger doesn't know The Big Noob? What started as an in-house project resulted in one of the most popular design house blogs on the net, I believe. A combination of their fresh, innovation web 2.0 design and bright personalities created some buzz. I still think their at the forefront of social networking, creating such brands as Purevolume and Virb.
So go on, share your favorite sites/design agencies/designers and tell us why their so good.
* Probably my favorite design agency.
