Giovanni Xu

Slick transitions in this arty One Pager for French interaction designer, Giovanni Xu. The Single Page website features lovely big scattered imagery that fills a big screen well along with projects that load smoothly with AJAX. A pity there is no mobile adaption for the portfolio section but a solid One Pager no doubt.
