DVEIN is a duo of film directors from Barcelona, Spain. Their website, designed by Edu Prats and Basora, abandons all standards and conventions when it comes to user navigation and content presentation.
The website’s background is a collection of childlike doodles, while the main menu is located at the bottom of the screen and appears when a visitor moves their mouse cursor below. A collection of casually grouped photos is the centerpiece of the homepage screen.
Clicking on one of the photos opens a screen with the video for the corresponding project, while all other materials line up at the top. Each video, of course, offers a taste of DVEIN’s portfolio.
The agencies’ creativity really came to the fore with the website’s mouse cursor. Depending on what the user is doing: about to play or pause the video or hovering through different options, the cursor will take on different shapes and forms.
As a way to increase user engagement, the website even allows visitors to add their own doodles to the background via the “Draw” menu item!
