From a purely design standpoint, glitch.com is well structured with legible type and enough conventional design patterns to ensure easy navigation but, really, those details are fairly pedestrian. Where glitch shines is its creative direction. Glitch looks like its shaping up to be an interesting experiment in online gaming and the site exists as a marketing tool and a portal to join the community. As such it takes full advantage of the incredible abundance of art created for the game and acts as an extension of the experience. Its a great example of design being lead by concept.

It’s also responsive where I didn’t expect it to be.
