This website gives people the opportunity to print out flatpack toys. The toys include monsters, robots, people and one created for Nike.

The idea to give people ready designed flatpack toys which they can print out and build for themselves combines two great techniques. First the designer can put anything they want on the flatpack including brands, and secondly the user gets a feeling of being a part of the creation of the toy.

This massive community website allows members to create they're own 6 colour palettes which can then be voted and commented upon by other members.

Members can also create they're own colours and name them, which creates a very proud feeling when someone sends you a comment saying how much they love your new colour.

This process of creation and admiration is very addictive and become quite the hobby even though it is a very simple idea, giving everyone the same skills and options to be creative eliminates any elitism that can be found in other online communities.

This designer also uses pixel art as his main weapon, Mr Wong has created hundreads of pixel icons of everything you can imagine...from tin openers to cartoon characters. Every week he uploads his new creations for his fans to download for free, his "goodies" range from icons of mobile phones to your favourite football shirts.

His most famous creation was his "Soup'Partments" which can be found from his website, he created the world's tallest virtual building and allowed everyone a chance to own a floor. The owner could then design his or her floor in what ever they wanted, from a football pitch to a recreation of they're bedroom, what ever they wanted! If that isn't interaction on a massive scale i don't know what is.

This self titled "pixel pusher" originates from the Netherlands and goes by the name Arjan Westerdiep. His design works varies alot from flash animation to traditional pen and ink to pixel art.



His main creation is the character Drububu, this fellow appears throughout his work and as you look through his website you start to believe this character is actually the designer.



Arjan's website includes his portfolio of work, miscellaneous creations and games. The navigation system is really easy to use as it is always located on the left side and the site is not cluttered what so ever, showing only the menu and the current item at one time.



He has attracted a massive fan base without doing much commercial work and I am sure if he was in the media light more he would be a lot more famous.
