The 2012 Inspire Conference website is wonderfully illustrated. I like the little lumberjack dude and how it’s all tied into the theme. Nice responsive design too. Lovely site and it looks like a kick-ass conference too!
Microinteractions
Microinteractions are subtle site animations enhancing engagement. They include triggers, rules, feedback, and sometimes loops/modes. Practical uses: improving engagement, guiding user behavior. Well-designed microinteractions boost user engagement and your online presence.
Thanks! A bit of background on the illustrations: http://www.nozzman.com/inspire-conference-2012
