With a smooth, nice transition, thin layout guides drop into place while fancy typographic headlines fill columns blank spaces: Balsamstudio’s portfolio provides an outstanding layout, simple and elegant, while showcasing a lot of interesiting identity projects.
When it comes to grid-based web design, one of the most charming and peculiar grid structure example that occurrs to me it’s UX Magazine’s layout.
The square-based structural balance of this layout it’s quite obvious but it could have turned out annoying and boring if designers didn’t conceive some visual tricks that, breaking the grid integrity, [...]
How could we possibly resist to this Tumblr theme inspired by Saul Bass’ work?
Saul Bass was a notorious American graphic and logo designer, made famous by his animated motion picture title sequences and I’m quite sure you can recognize some of them here.
Bass’ spirit it’s clearly revoked by the protruding hands, the capricious typography and [...]
Did you know that an average chocolate bar has 8 insect legs in it? Or that you ca make diamonds out of Tequila?
You can learn this and much more by following Learn something every day, a stunning daily project by design studio Young.
Every day a fresh new oddity, graphically exposed, is displayed on this self-initiated [...]
We love so much Fudge Studios’ layout that we wonder whether we have to be happy for or just loathe the fact a new website is coming up.
This website simulates a photoshop (or generally a graphic editor) workspace soooo well that becomes difficult, if not impossible, writing what we’ve liked most.
The favicon shaped as a [...]
Zara Picken’s a Bristol-based illustrator that brings us back to the magic Fifties with her clean, marvelous illustration style.
Aside from that, we definitely love Zara’s website structural rigor: broad wide spaces are cut into columns and rows simply by black/gray lines while circle shapes of various kinds play a major role in grabbing user’s attention [...]
Inspired by Josef Müller-Brockmann’s work, Stéphane Curzi endeavoured to implement a css framework system based on type baseline, where every major page element would align correctly.
Creating that shouldn’t have been a cakewalk and sure there are some big limitations (the biggest one is that Baseline’s css works fully only on latest generation browsers): nonetheless, we [...]
I think this website’s grid, made of right ragged thumbs, gives us the same chaotic and urban feeling as the one inspired by illustrations themselves.
Subtotal is an artist collective’s website, formed by illustrators Grega and Jaro:
Their work finds its origins in the conjoining of various body parts, whether real or fantastic, through which numerous symbolic meanings [...]
While I was surfing, I’ve been positively struck by the way “We are the fiction” website re-creates the book’s cover.
One small step backwards.
We Are The Friction is a book of illustration and short fiction created by 12 pairs of international writers and illustrators. It’s the second book edited, designed and published by Sing Statistics, the collaborative concern of Jez [...]
Color Hunter is a very useful application that lets you search palette and colors from an image or a hexadecimal code. Useful in the initial stage of product concept.
After defining your palette, you can use Checkmycolours to analyze the color contrast of your web page according to W3C specification.
Spacecollective is an ambitious project and, if we wish, even a little hazy in its premises: it’s about sharing knowledge on the human species, its environment and its future.
Posts are arranged as if they were cards: in this way you have an interesting effect as if the contents of the contributors were presented in a [...]
How to draw a site dedicated to a sound? Or, as in this case, dedicated to a podcast?
Loved the clean and fresh layout for this site that collects everything about icons: an icon for different kind of posts, additional infos when you hover on items , a dots style paging.
I like Uncover, especially as they present post tags.
I’ve been misled by the thumb icon: I thought it was abutton to vote (are we so faceboook-dependent?) but it simply indicates the karma of the item.
