Otra was founded in 1999 and is the ongoing project of San Diego based Swedish Designer Jozias Dawson. I stumbled across his site in the past and I may have posted it but I visited again today and was overwhelmed with how prolific he is. He has generated great creative across a really broad spectrum of mediums which is a unique talent in and of itself and deserves to be noticed. It’s gotta be even harder with those waves calling to you from Pacific Beach. Ahh, San Diego. So nice. His somewhat 80’s inspired Flash UI is also pretty interesting. The only downer is the auto loading music. I must profess, I have never been a fan of sites that begin blasting music as soon as they load, even though I was guilty of having one myself at one point. Nothing like rocking to your headphones and being interrupted by someone else’s music selection.
