A brilliant logo concept consisting in a single continuous line drawing a light bulb.
Contact forms set on a paper, usually a grungy or stained one, are not so unusual on the web: but while text inputs are commonly aligned vertically inside the form area, in this case they’re scattered among paragraphs in a way that makes you think you’re writing a real letter. Text alignment, slightly tilted, enhances [...]
An example of extremely minimal, black and white layout, taken from Trent Walton’s personal blog.
Loved this food icons set about food and cooking, found on an interesting culinary blog called Recetas de rechupete.
This comments listing, taken from Jon Tan’s website, is an excellent specimen of good type treatment (the text is consistently set on the same baseline across the two columns), minimalistic use of horizontal rules to divide content (single and double) and just a gray/black scheme for the text treatment.
Simplicity is not that simple, is it?
I really can’t remember why (serendipity, I’d suppose) but recently I’ve stumbled into the Gates’ notes, the website that spreads probably worldwide most famous mogul’s thoughts about the matters such as philanthropy, climats, development…
Apart from the fact that the whole thing is written in the third person, which really gives me the creeps, I’ve found interesting [...]
It might be redundant but we love the mouse over effect on Simplebits: though linking the home page from your website’s logo is probably the most common standard in web design, we like the way Simplebits’ tap gently peels revealing a little home icon underneath.
Sometimes the previous/next alternative may oversimplify navigation but if Ux Hero choose it for his own blog who I am to disagree? Moreover, I’m quite fed up with infinite numerical pagination.
A nice error page, clearly shaped as a navigation flow chart, from Konigi’s, a reference website for what concerns user experience and interface design.
Yellow is a powerful, cheerful colour but rarely used in webdesign because, I suppose, of its inner lack of contrast. You can find it quite likely associated with black or, as in this case with cyan, and it’s often used in design-related websites.
This time, we want to show you this nice, huge yellow tabbed navigation, [...]
This is a quite innovative and original comments listing example that comes directly from Particletree’s blog: setting the comments on two columns instead of one let you squeeze the discussion into a more compact, less dispersive space, with the side effect of making eventual question/answer/reply threads less legible.
Two things at the same time: a nice, fresh web logo and an inspiring logo collection from Jordan Gray’s portfolio. Here you are more infos about Jordan:
My name is Jordan Michael Gray. I’m a graphic designer, independent filmmaker, former print-news editor, and I currently work as an art director for Bernstein-Rein Advertising. I also created [...]
Could you tell the difference between the breadcrumbs and the navigation? When both are displayed it’s quite obvious, but in other pages (look at here) it’s not.
Though it might turn out to be a nice graphic expedient, I think it could be risky to disguise one user interface pattern (navigation menu) as another. (breadcrumbs menu). [...]
Brown typography and a wood texture give a natural, warm hint to the page while the nicely scribbled horizontal ligns complete the organic quality of this comment form .
