Remember the last time you opened Internet Explorer, probably 5.0 by then, to find some fancy new images for your desktop (or wallpapers as they call it in Redmond)? Chances are that you went for a Calvin Klein ad or a screengrab from Titanic. Sweet.

Poolga does a great job at helping you getting rid of the ugly backgrounds in your precious iPhone (Earth, Mona Lisa, a clown fish, what were they thinking?). The site’s material is user-generated, but on an invite-only basis, meaning that you submit your portfolio and if they like your work, you’re in. Sleek.

Red Bull Flugtag Flight Lab (I wish I had designed it)

More Papervision 3D love! An impressive site developed for Red Bull using this technology. Step 1: create the fuselage of your plane, choosing the best material and designing the most aerodynamic shapes. Step 2: Play with brushes and collage to personalize it. Step 3: the Crash-Test. Fly your plane above the water, and cover as much distance as possible, collecting cans of Red Bull to refuel, showing-off some acrobatic maneuvers and avoiding obstacles and crosswinds.

When done, you can park your aircraft in the hangar, and fine-tune it before taking it on another bumpy ride. Oh and it’s been voted Site of the Month at FWA.
