Each week, we do a round up of curated "stuff from the interwebs" that we call Radar. In this week's 135th Radar: Time for Flexbox First The web development community has a habit of declaring "firsts" those practices and approaches that reach some ill-defined status...
Cool design for Chanel's Cafe Society one-pager. Especially like the work with the video background work as you scroll through the page.
Good looking home page for PYCON 2016, happening in Portland, Oregon this year. I love the blends of the coloring with the svg work to make the page look really good in any responsive state. It looks to be designed by the Caktus Group out of Baltimore.
Pretty read animation/interactions as you scroll down the page. If you can get over the scroll hijacking here you'll dig it. The colors are spot on and the overall feel/vibe is very welcoming and soothing.
Really good vertical rhythm for the Frank Digital site. I love the top section and how it feeds into the second, third and footer areas. That blog/news section is very nice as well. I love the asymmetry to it all, but at the same time it all comes off quite balanced..
Kind of a parallax type approach, but really just targeted scrolling with some really badass inter-section animations. I love those section transitions. Solid.
Really simple approach but very effective. I dig the simple links and the way all the sections are tied together with simple colors and then interactions. Straight forward works for me!
I'm in love with the way this website does sectional targeting. You start off with sort of a splash page (we can discuss that later) then get siphoned off into a couple different directions depending on your food choices. Then there's a solid landing page for each one...
I LOVE the vibe of this site design for POC Sculpture. It feels soft and wispy with strong lines and edges. Kinda like sculpture 🙂 There are some really nice little interaction details here as well, like the slight movement as you scroll and then check the "back to...
Pretty cool minimal design for Anekdote. I really dig the gray field where you can see the edges of it like they have it. It's just simple and works. That's good design to me, when the actions become almost invisible but say present.
Pretty cool visual vibe with this design. I like the oversized spaces and blocks of color and even the angled screen shots - they all give it a dynamic feel even though the overall execution is fairly simple and straight forward. Bold colors and typography also lend...
Another really great minimal design. I really love the logo mark and the way it's so simply placed and then the portfolio work just feeds into view.
Each week, we do a round up of curated "stuff from the interwebs" that we call Radar. In this week's 134th Radar: Google Ventures – Why you should move that button 3px to the left When a product is close to launch, I become a perfectionist. Each misaligned element or...
Google i/0 2016 site is up. I love the main countdown numbers and the way the sub sections kind of box in under it. It's kind of a coming soon page, so maybe not fair to review it just yet. But it is pretty cool.
I haven't seen too many author sites (a form of a portfolio site) - however, this one for Haruki Marakami is pretty special. The Library, and specifically the detail work on the book pages - it's cool and smart.
Two things about the Spacecraft site out of Australia I like are the vertical hamburger (because it is technically different than all the others) - and I like the simplicity of the mouse-over / overlays on the block design - it's just a label and change in opaqueness...
Great looking site from Bloomberg Phianthropies - promoting a great initiative called The Mayors Challenge to help solve urban challenges and improve city life (2016 in Latin America). Some sweet flat illustrations and icon work - coupled with bold coloring and photos...
Great typography work on the Vintage Hope site out of the UK. Looks like you rent fine china for different events, and the money goes to a children's home in Malawi - good social entrepreneurial concept - and a nice looking site.
Very simple color palette, and good typography from the TSE Foundation out of Hong Kong. I first saw it in a smaller screen - but it really opens up on a desktop and looks great, because it's simple.
This Latvian site for Hermes Financial Services is extremely minimal... but we like it because of that. Very simple and to the point, but also has a good look to the site - from the Hermes illustration, to the coloring and fonts.
Great, tight one-pager from The Kings Arms pub out of London. Subtle grays and greens to give the site a warm aesthetic, which I'm assuming is the same for the pub itself (will have to find out next time in London).
Each week, we do a round up of curated "stuff from the interwebs" that we call Radar. In this week's 133rd Radar: Don’t Design What Users Want Without getting user feedback, we’d have no idea whether our product is meeting people’s needs. We get feedback via email,...
Man, I love this virtual tour of Abbey Road Studios done in collaboration with Google and their indoor mapping / 3d imaging / video / webgl work. It all combines into an incredibly cool, immersive experience, complete with quadrophonic sound (if you're using...
This digital magazine / newspaper from We Heart out of Barcelona and London is pretty sweet. It's a great example of our "old timey" blogs have evolved into robust and exciting centers of knowledge - and with so much content, I think they've found good ways of serving...
32 Legends - 1 G.O.A.T - I'm sitting here listening to The Script's Hall of Fame (featuring will.i.am), one of my son's favorite songs right now - voting on my favorite NBA players of all time - it's a good morning. And look - there's the South Carolina Gamecock and...
I think this is a cool site - Stellare.aero out of Palo Alto - a digital marketplace for private aviation. Very clean and airy with cool animation and video. Also really like the color combination / palette and animated icons on the Operator page.
Very cool site for Bose's new stuff (me want). Very different way of navigating through the products - the home images are the nav - then I like the vertical nav for the specific product. The URL is special.bose.en - I kind of feel like we all should have a "special"...
Bold site from Henrik and Sofia out of Sweden. I like the "cheekiness" of the design of the Selected Work as you go down the page. Good work on the portfolio / work detail pages too.
Out of Berlin - Nut & Woods' site is pretty tight. The best thing about the site has to be the navigation - hover over the "Tables" nav item - see the "dropdown" - but then (since they are selling stuff) the dropdown nav cycles through the product categories...
Good looking block design site fro Bubba Croquettes by Skinn out of Bruges, Belgium. Two things I especially like - first - the hamburger menu drawer opens to just the nav items - not to this huge overlay. Then second - I like how the footer isn't at just the bottom...
