Always Beautiful



Big Spaceship (one of my fav dig shops) was tasked with creating a unique experience using the new beta release of Microsoft's IE9 that took full advantage if IE's browser features and functionality and push the limits of what’s possible. "Always Beautiful" – is an interactive experience that uses the history of the web as a personal paintbrush.

Drawing inspiration from the ever-evolving trends of the Web and setting them against a soundtrack from recording artist Ming, users generate a completely unique piece of artwork from a library of Web-inspired graphic assets we created. IE9’s unique use of the user's graphics processor allowed for hundreds of assets on the screen at once with no drop in performance. And with native browser support of HTML5 standards and SVG, the creation could be be generated based on real-time user input and output at any size.

The result? A beautiful piece of work created by Big Spaceship that's rich in detail and uniquely beautiful.
