It’s the night shift at the Museum…
The Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago wanted a fun way for children to learn about physics and simple machines. So we decided to have as much fun as possible with it!
It’s the story of Twitch, the squishy orange museum helper, that needs to find spare parts for his grumpy Boss to repair the broken robot. But Twitch is so lazy and would rather sleep at night, so he could use the help of some simple machines that would make his quest easier…
Help Twitch!

Comcastic Interface and animations
Our lovely friends at Unit9 contacted us to do an interface and come up with an art-direction that would melt with the lovely visuals for Comcast Town. By mixing the quirkiness of the campaign with our own love for everything that’s colorful, we created a clean and simple interface that will stick with the campaign forever. This site has already been awarded an FWA and we’re sure that it will keep rocking those award shows!

Every spoonful brings you closer
Everyone knows how romantic it is to share a cup of ice-cream with their loved ones.
It’s just that one needs a reminder once in a while, especially as Valentine’s Day is approaching.
Unit9 asked our help to create a banner and eventually a tv campaign, so we put our hearts into this sweet sweet design, and it’s fireworks and a dance of intertwining sensations.

Sex, drugs and rock’n'roll
Unit9 created a super-cool video player to showcase the cheeky characters from the British tv series Skins. And they needed some minimalistic design to go with it and match the irriverent drama’s mood. It was a good challenge trying to feature the grunge look-and-feel and keep it minimal at the same time.

Electrolux has a long history of caring about the nature and so do Helpful Strangers! So we were very happy when Great Works asked us to design this full-screen measuring cup. On the site you can see how much water you and the rest of Europe would save if we all would start using dishwashers instead of washing by hand. For example: if a single household in Sweden would use a dishwasher they would save enough water for 25 710,7 cups of coffee… We have a dishwasher here at Helpful Strangers and that happens to be the exact amount of coffee we drink every year.

Adobe Flash in wonderland
Together with our friends at Unit9, we created this lovely interface/setting.
The whole thing started as a project regarding a button or two, but ended up being a lot more than that.
Clean & quirky made this one a stunner, only we wish we could have made the rubber duck explode!

Samsung Style has launched!
Helpful Strangers have taken care of the interactive direction on this project and also been in charge for the overall look & feel of the site. It’s all about liquid metal, and to emphasize this we’ve created a very nice widget that you can see whilst you load the site, but also deeper into the site by clicking “Play with style & function”.

The sweetest way to save the Honey Bees
Honey Bees are disappearing rapidly and no one knows why, so Häagen-Dazs® ice cream is raising awareness on the plight of our stripy pollinating friends. To do this, Goodby, Silverstein & Partners teamed up with Unit9/Helpful Strangers and created a microsite that’s all about making people aware and having fun doing so.
