I really like the movement of the Pound & Grain site, out of Toronto. The subtle use of parallax with background shapes and colors, coupled with the images and copy make for a great experience. Also like the little vibrance of the animated gifs hero images, that...
If you don't like Fuzzco, then you're probably just jealous you didn't come up with that first. I've read some reviews of their new site - both good and bad - and hey, we all have opinions (insert colloquialism here). And why am I writing this like an opinion (or...
Excellent way to start Monday - with the agency site from Hello Monday, out of New York and Copenhagen. They do some really cool work, and their site is definitely different than most web design firms. From the parallax slider that rotates vertically, to the smooth...
Some of us here at Unmatchedstyle are fan-boys of Reebok (planning our Spartan Race Tri-fecta for this year). And when Reebok released this one page / video, it makes us glad that we have a 12k trail run tomorrow - like watching football (both kinds), and then running...
The countdown is on, registration for Google I/O 2015 is open in 33 days. The site (right now) seems a little scaled down from last year - but cleaner in approach, but not traditional. Either way, looking at the photos from Google I/O 2014, it's something I would want...
While the subject matter may be a little shocking, and the tone is something akin to True Detective, The Hart Island Project website is pretty incredible in a design sense. The video intro - don't skip it - it sets the tone that is continued through out the site. And...
It took me a minute, and still don't know who Charlie is (they don't talk about Charlie) - but if I'm in Philadelphia (maybe this summer), I'm going to check out this vegan restaurant, that boast of "small plates and strong drinks" - Charlie was a Sinner. The site,...
Really like this sleek design from the Hatch agency out of San Francisco. It's a cool way for an agency to show their work and present themselves as innovative and cool. I'll keep watching this site to see how they update the images, if they change the shape of the...
This site is all about the tone for me. Big bold text on the home page set in a simple none fancy sans-serif font. Bold, earthy, homely imagery - love whatever filter they’ve used on these. The design could have easily gone down a more handcrafted/organic/market stall...
I like this one (ok, two) pager. It's fun and has a cool concept. Cool illustrations and even some CGI on the rocket (well, kind of). And no.. not that Carls Jr. From the Designer:This is my portfolio site to showcase my design work. Hopefully it can be approve :)...
Some of us at Unmatchedstyle are runners. In fact, Gene and I are running a 12k this weekend that benefits the state forest we run a couple times a month. The Running Charity, out of London, is taking running and charity to a different level, not just raising money...
There are some really cool pieces/parts to this design. I like the graphic way they tell the specific pieces of the story about their company. I also like the pattern used over the images.
Pass the kale and beetroot, time for something good! Whether you like great tasting fruit and veggieGreat one-page site for Savse (sav-say) Smoothies done by NEVERBLAND out of London. Like using the animated SVG to transition from above the fold to below. The link to...
Woah... there is so much going on here that I can't even catalog it all. I think most of the site by AG Event out of Istanbul is in canvas, and gives a different experience than you're used to on agency type sites. Be warned - it may slow your computer to a halt - but...
No - not that Harper Lee (who is releasing the sequel of To Kill a Mockingbird this year) - but Martin Harper-Lee is doing some pretty decent work too. Like how the home page has no scrolling, and instead of a traditional slideshow, he has used canvas to give an...
I have a new weather app because of the Black Pixel agency out of Seattle, Washington (The Funny or Die Weather app from Will Ferrell's company). Black Pixel did the redesign. They also redesigned their website, which is pretty awesome, design-wise, and every other...
I really dig the main hero area, the 'masonry' type layout and animation for the imagery. Solid design and overall organization too. Working with marketing, operations, sales, and of course the design team - we designed a website that is 100% focused on the user. From...
Pretty dang nice website for a classic band. I love the header/logo and how it moves a bit as you scroll. It stays "maximized" as you make your way past the hero image area and then gets much smaller as you go past it. Smart stuff. There's other little movement and...
Pretty cool stuff going on with Janet Wong's portfolio site. I actually enjoyed the loading animation and the way you move around the page as user, simple but with some little quirky things here and there. Check out her CV - interesting way of presenting yourself on...
Man - Unit9 has done it again. This time with an interactive game / gamified trailer for the Kingsman Secret Service movie from Fox that comes out this weekend. It uses a combination of website / Google Street View / YouTube - and then a syncs with your phone to...
Interesting website here for Harvest Capital. I many ways I like the approach but have issues with it on other levels. I put it here in the gallery to hopefully get some feedback on it from you all. So, what do you guys think? Harvest Capital wanted to convey their...
I like the monochromatic approach to the color and the simple line art icons give it a good vibe. I also like the way the header is treated visually as you scroll down a bit.
Simple and straightforward the Baan Dek site is. I like the oversized imagery and the simple layout. Solid responsive design and minimal page count make this a pretty easy to digest website. Bravo for their brevity. Submitted by: Bobby George @baandek Role: Designer
I love just about everything there is about the Rally website. The main "hero" area, not sure what to call this area anymore really, is super dope. The "ribbon" graphic is very nicely executed, even when you scale the screen down the ribbon stays relevant. I love how...
I like how Writizmo went with their main content in the hero area. The marketing messages / feature lists that a lot of web apps use are normally in a long scroll below the fold, or in a rotating barrage / slideshow that no one really looks at...( just sayin'). Get to...
It took me a minute to get into Tony Trancard's portfolio site (out of France), because it was a little deceiving at first. The large image with the mostly text and gray below threw me off. But then I remembered that there was vertical navigation, and anyone that uses...
I was reading back though an article we published about Web Design Trends for 2015, and realized that Josh Hemsley's company out of Californina, Envoy just produced a website, Blossom that fits in well with the upcoming trends: The Blossom site has great, vibrant,...
I just mentioned to Gene that I don't even know where to start on this site review. Brad Weaver's tweet (below) kind of says it all of Bloomberg's (@business) new website - gorgeous and usable. There's already been so much praise and controversy over this new site...
Good portfolio site from Paul VL out of Greece. Like the large fonts with white type on a different color palette than everyone else is using right now. Wish the work detail pieces were more than just a pop-up so you could see a little more of the quality of his work...
I've been actually eating healthier this new year, and keeping in tune with foods and products that fit into more of a "Paleo" lifestyle. Avocare Avocado Oil fits that for me (healthy fat) - must learn more about it for personal use. Professionally, I'm looking at the...
