This website is really cool! It's the portfolio of a games progammer/3D artist, and the whole website is built like a game itself. This is a great creative way of showing off your skills to prospective employers who may be visiting the site. Rather than just listing things the designer has done like on a CV, you can see first hand what he can do incorporated into the design of the website. The site is built using Flash, and even starts off with a target shooting game for you to play while you're waiting for it to load. Once you're done with this you reach the main site, a 3D modelled airship which contains the navigation for the website within itself. The user can explore the ship by clicking on different areas of it, thus allowing them to find out more about the designer. To visit different areas of the site the user presses a map and chooses where to go, which results in the airship flying to different islands (accompanied by music a la Top Gun). The downside to this website is that I imagine it would take a long time to load on a slow connection, but I suppose this does not matter too much as the target audience for this site (employers, creatives etc.) will generally have a fast connection.
