Submitted by: Maarten De Proost @intracto Role: Designer A one-page scrolling site created for a recruitment campaign for Belgian digital agency Intracto. The ‘airlines’ theme came from the term ‘landing page’, which it actually is. Hence the title of the campaign...

Submitted by: Paddy Donnelly @paddydonnelly Role: Designer Let your kids build their own rockets on the iPad, launch them into space and race through the asteroid field to rescue all the aliens. Holy frijoles, that is adorable! I love the art and the subtle 'drifting'...

Submitted by: Matthew Seccafien @studiocartogram Role: Designer & Developer Disrupt MBA is a four week accelerated transformative experiential learning program. In just one month they expedite you from your creative idea to your innovative start up, and give you the...
kiawahisland.com
Another great website from the fine folks at e house studio with kiawahisland.com. My favorite part is how the nav is fixed until you get a to a certain target point in the page, then folds up into the top of the page. I also like the change from rectangular imagery...
cageapp.com
Name: Sandip Patel @cageapp Role: Designer & Developer Cage is an online collaboration tool that provides a secure environment for creative teams in web, mobile, print, video, design, 3D and motion graphics to easily present their work for feedback and approval. It...
perchmade.com
Name: Stacy Kim @perchmade Role: Designer & Developer Although this website is fairly complete—we really consider this a one page splash page—a precursor to the full website. The design is simple and focuses on color and typography. This may be just a one page...
roxannekoranda.com
Just a great consistent feel across all elements of this single page website. The illustrations and colors have a really nice feel and it comes off as very welcoming. I like that it is responsive, specifically how the images resize and the choices made there between...
shopaholla.com
Posted by: Andrew Johnson @and_rwj Role: Designer & Developer This website looks pretty dynamic on first viewing. It has circular shapes were traditional squares would be used, there's also lots of great little interactions across the page. I especially like the page...
joshmatz.com
Submitted by: Josh Matz @joshmatz Role: Designer & Developer Overall another fairly simple design but I liked some of the responsive design decisions and I also like the little interactions that have the surprise questions about Josh. That kind of stuff really...
mintmuseum.org
The way they've used the logo in the mint museum website is pretty clever it's off the side and sort of slanted and it's not the central element but yet it's very noticeable. The large hero image slideshow is pretty standard but they've cropped and created different...
coderwall.com
The coderwall website is a pretty simple, single page website. I really dig it because of this simplicity. It does what it needs to do fast, it uses other people in the industry that you already know to show you who's using it as well as grouping with other brands, so...
wickedpalate.com
Holy cow, this is how all restaurants should do their websites. It's a single page that uses anchors to scroll you down to the section you need. It's mainly a menu. Then it's responsive so you can see it on your iPhone, which I don't know about all of you, I've pretty...
studiobema.com
Relatively simple website when you get down to it, the interactions aren't mindblowing but what's really nice is the simplicity mixed with the large illustrated background image/photos. For some reason they're just engaging to me and I love them.
winforever.com
The Winforever website has that corporate/sport look, which is perfectly fitting. I really like the interactions over the three blog post blocks. Having them slide up and over the image is unexpected and adds just a nice extra little level of interaction to this clean...
helmsworkshop.com
I think the Helms Workshop website has been around for a while and I'm just now seeing it. I still think it holds up really well and I love the tight typography and the minimal pallet with the browns and then the Red for highlight & focus is just nice.
facebookstories.com
It's cool to see such great design things coming out of Facebook. Is this what they've hired all those designers for? Could be, but I really like it! This design is rather minimal which is perfect for this scenario, the grid is also nice how it goes from large to...
i-mtb.com
Submitted by: Andrew Couldwell @andrewcouldwell Role: Designer & Developer I-MTB is an MTB hub for enduro, downhill and cross country bike riders. It's an online MTB magazine and MTB trail areas operator in Tuscany, Italy. I really like the grid like modular view...
explanimate.com.au
The website is built visually around what these guys do as a service. They illustrate what your product or service does, so they use that same skill on their own stuff. Very fun and open feel. Simple colors and type all work in tandem together like it should. I'm not...
mangrove.com
I really like the simple typography and strong asymmetrical composition of mangrove.com. The site has a minimal, but judicious application of color that leaves plenty of room for their content. Coupled with simple, yet sophisticated interactions, mangrove.com is the...

Design Details: Inset Text Shadows
Jonathan Longnecker of FortySeven Media shows us how to get the most out of the “text-shadow property”.
Los Angeles Times
As a designer, I hope that if newspapers can be saved, that design will play a prominent role. Currently, many newspaper sites are dense, cluttered and so hard to read that it’s a wonder anybody goes to them (not to mention the cesspool that is the comments section of...
