You gotta love a twitter bird on steroids… I really like the blue background of this website, the texture/pattern gives it what it would otherwise be lacking. I also like the transition from the blue to the white background with the pattern. The illustrations are clever and gives it a nice sense of hand-crafted-ness (I know that’s not a word.) The footer starts to lose me, in that I don’t think it’s executed as well as the rest of the page. Overall though, this is a pretty good conference website.
Monochrome Minimalism
Monochrome Minimalism merges Bauhaus discipline with IKEA simplicity. Clean grids, muted tones, and functional beauty create digital calm, proof that restraint, not decoration, defines timeless design.
I really really like this site – but it must be wider than 960px. It gives me a horizontal scroll bar on my old secondary laptop.
@Ryan – not sure man, doesn’t seem to do that for me. Could be a specific browser thing? Would be cool to know what browser you’re running.
