From the varying technologies and development hurdles needed and the complete freedom of creativity, &#8216;takeovers&#8217; bring a team together more than any other project. It&#8217;s like bringing architects, artists, engineers and planners together to cover all of Times Square rather than just a single billboard. <span id="more-500"></span></p>
<p>That being said, I&#8217;ll give you a quick list of my top three to check out:</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/4281939" target="_blank">Honda Insight, &#8220;Let it shine&#8221;</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/wariolandshakeit2008" target="_blank">The classic Wario Land, &#8220;Shake It&#8221; for Wii</a></p>
<p>&#8230; and the mutha:<br />
<a href="http://www.vimeo.com/9194146" target="_blank">Tostitos Salsa, &#8220;And then there was salsa&#8221;</a></p></blockquote>

<p>Enjoy&#8230; <span id="more-460"></span></p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> First and foremost, my favorite European, <strong>Robert Lindstrom</strong>, co-founder of <a href="http://www.northkingdom.com/" target="_blank">North Kingdom</a> (FWA &#8216;10 Wallpaper pictured above). You can also see his personal work at <a href="http://www.designchapel.com" target="_blank">Design Chapel</a>. Solid geometry meets organic illustration in perfect elegance&#8230; </p>
<p></br><a href="http://www.noedesign.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://seangreenfield.com/wp-content/uploads/noe_design_old_website.jpg" target="_blank" alt="" title="noe_design_old_website" width="200" height="217" class="alignright size-full wp-image-808" /></a><strong>2.</strong> On the other end of the visual spectrum is <strong>David Noe</strong> at <a href="http://www.noedesign.com" target="_blank">Noe Design</a>. His famous &#8220;action figure&#8221; website from a few years back in <em>Communication Arts</em> put him on my radar and I always enjoy checking in on his work every now and then to see what&#8217;s influencing the Mid-westerner. Of course, you&#8217;ll also see a design/illustration balance in his work. His archived, flash based site is shown.<br />
<br /></br><br />
<br /></br><br />
<strong>3.</strong> And finally, here&#8217;s one I bet you haven&#8217;t heard of&#8230; <a href="http://www.christiansparrow.com" target="_blank"><strong>Christian Sparrow</strong></a>. I actually had the chance to work with Sparrow for a couple months earlier this year. Again, he&#8217;s a real artist who&#8217;s translated his work to the digital world very well. Everything he does just has a optimistic feel embedded into the pixels. He&#8217;s easy going and fun to work with. And, after a couple years of doing tech based sites, is one of the reasons I started sketching again.</p>
