It's an "agricultural" theme throughout this weeks posting. Enjoy!

BEAUTIFUL Design + Execution
http://www.prospectdenim.com/
Does nice design get you excited? If so, you have to check this out. The large, dynamic picture, accompanied by the subtle, but effective Flash movement & some great background sounds (turn up your volume a bit) is b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l. When I see really fantastic design + execution, I get a little emotional. This site did it. Click on "Collection" to see how the products are displayed. Fantastic. (Granted, not AS fantastic if you're living in the land of non-high speed, but I'm not certain who their audience is, so I won't judge them.)

Brand-Engaging Entertainment Microsite
Everyone knows how successful Office Max's "Elf Yourself" was this season. This is in the same line. A microsite created for the pure purpose of entertainment from the brand to you. I have to admit, it's VERY VERY well designed and executed and it's FUN. Well, I thought it was as about much fun as someone could have with potatoes. I created this little parade for our AdFarm CD - Glenn. Enjoy.

Engaging and Entertaining Corporate Site
This is the corporate site for McCain Foods. This appears to be an Ag-based blog posting today. It's not quite as fantastic as the potato parade for Glenn, but it's very well executed. Even the little "our process" executed in the Flash headers is pretty entertaining. I like how they got the process across visually so lazy people (like myself) don't have to read about it - we can just watch it. PLUS - who knew that the "best fat for roasting potatoes is goose fat"? Fascinating. A little gross, but fascinating.
