Evoke

I’m still not 100% sure of what evoke really is, but in the spirit of providing inspiration at the same time as displaying a good looking dark-background site (which personally I find it hard to work with a dark/black background) this one should hopefully wet...

Mutado

This is a very different website design. From the color scheme to aspect ratio of the pictures it’s top quality, and it’ll make you do a double take with its orginality.

GOOD Magazine

Hopefully you can find inspiration from both the design and content of this online magazine. It is well crafted and makes good use of its typographic selections. Very straightforward and rewarding to both look at and read.

Wallop | 9 Mile Studio

Reminds me of the Swiss School of Design, very grid based and uses subtle shifts in color to determine what’s more important to take in. Very good use of a dark background and is one of those sites where less is truly more.

Rochester City Newspaper

I don’t often like these newspaper websites’ design. This one seems to be able to keep it simple. The ads aren’t too overpowering and the sections are well thought out and methodical.
