SCROLLALAX! - A Top-Down Twist On Parallax Scrolling Site Design
Parallax love
This popular web design trend of 2011 for scrolling ‘parallax’ websites continues unabated. I’ve included the nine that I referred to in my previous post and also a load more. Click the read more, to view. Check back here often because I will use this post to ‘bookmark’ other site examples that I think are worth recording. Really good ones might get their own posts!

Here are the live site examples - they get more ambitious as you move through each example:
SMOKEY BONES -Nice bold images and impactive text take this everyday serving of fast food to a different level
VOLKSWAGEN-UP! - A twist on the usual navigation. Instead of scrolling down, you scroll UP! A nice example of taking an existing navigational device and turning it on its head.
ACTIVATE DRINKS - The water motif plunges you deeper into the site as you learn more about this thirst quenching product.
SMART USA - Elements popping in and out as you ‘scroll’ through.
MARIO KART - Takes the whole concept of scrolling to a whole different level with the scroll bar taking you on a diagonal whirl-wind tour of the site. This works well with the Video game aesthetic of the site.
THE ART OF FLIGHT - Topsy-Turvey, Inny-Outy. This site might give you a funny feeling as you navigate. It shows off to good effect why FLASH has been threatened so much by HTML5 and javaScript.
2011 BEER CAMP - This site is not using parallax scrolling in the traditional sense as you navigate the 3D text using the scrollbar
