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 .
Minimalist web design it’s one of our (many) recurrent thoughts when reviewing websites. It’s really tough to come to inventive, not bare-looking solutions when you strip a website of every graphics assests and you’re not allowed to play any of the usual webdesign tricks. So we really loved this simple HTML menu, a nested list [...]
Psdtemplate is a really handy blog, full of resources for webdesigners and rich in tutorials and tips (and obviously it’s in our favs list).
We loved the rather fully equipped rating system displayed in the comments listing, by which you can add/remove score to a comment and even submitting it to admin’s attention (exclamation mark).
This is a powerful callout box found in Income diary, a blog that hopefully will teach us all how to earn an additional income from the Internet.
Apart from the blog’s lofty ideals, I really think that in this case the association of a street sign icon with a heavy typography and a bossy copywriting can [...]
We’re fond of the illustration. We adore the palette. We’re puzzled by the copy and enthralled at the same time.
Great job Huwshimi!
