There were these two sites that I've visited a long time ago, and I really liked the style of it and the use of Flash. I can't recall the URLs, but they looked something like this:
The upper most picture I was think a splash screen. So initially there would be these small circles floating around in the center. It's a very abstract navigation 'menu'. As the user rolls his/her mouse cursor over the circle, the it would enlarge and the link name would be displayed. I thought this was interesting because it was like you were uncovering the links and discovering what was hidden under the circles. So now does this relate to my concept? Well, since my concept deals with anonymity on the internet, I was thinking of incorporating that Flash mouse over effect to make it feel like people are uncovering people's identities.
The lower image I recall was a Flash banner. There were dozens of these information bubbles that would start off at the back and slowly make it's way to the front. As each of these bubbles moved off screen they would start at the back again, giving an impression that you were swimming amongst a sea of information bubbles. When clicked, the bubbles would expand and information would be revealed.
This I also I thought could be something to incorporate in my site, to give the impression of browsing though a sea of anonymous people while surfing the web or as an abstract representation of the internet.
