6. https://a24films.com/: I think it exemplifies one of the most unique yet cohesive brand identities in the industry. I actively want to explore the site just to see what nicely designed surprises await on each page.
7. https://mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/: The site is effective in communication through the way it highlights wealth disparity on a nearly incomprehensible scale. To reach the end, users must scroll through for several minutes.
8. https://weareosm.com/: This site works well in the way that it's succeeded in conveying design through both desktop and mobile formats. It feels particularly suited for a mobile screen which I would imagine would be not as common of an emphasis as desktop
