Web Design Inspiration Curated
co-work.co
I like the way the large image/slideshow here is used in relation to the other elements. By overlapping certain sections of the rectangle image it gives an otherwise very simple site design dynamism. Nice subtle design touch.

Neatly designed responsive site design here. I'm not wild about the huge image, but this IS a personal portfolio website so it works and is totally in context. Overall it's well executed and the smaller screen size looks nice too. Well done.

Super fun looking site here. I love the clean and simple nav at the top, and I tend to dig the carousels that show you a little something on either side of the active image. It's a neat touch. The rest of the site has a sort of magazine layout. Everything is organized...

Okay, so this is late being put in the gallery. We've all seen it by now hopefully. If not go experience it and report back what you discover for us. In short, I agree with a lot of sentiments already shared on the internet, Boston Globe is a game changer in regards...
space150.com
Space150 is a company that obviously takes a very bold approach to everything they do. The logo, a two headed phoenix grasping a hammer and lightning bolt is meant to convey the philosophy of 'Destroy Convention, Create Demand'. This attitude has apparently worked out...

This site has it all. It's beautifully designed, easy to use and technically impressive. The first thing you notice is the grid of triangles going down the page is that when you hover and click they smoothly transform into circles, each revealing data and links to...

When a designer puts thought from all angles into something for themselves, you get really good results like this. I love the concept of pencil draft and slick graphics harmonizing together. Bianca managed to pull this off with just the right amount of love to each....

This is a ridiculously clever site. I like the interactive infographic style, and I think the entire architecture of the site is really engaging. The aesthetic and functionality is superbly executed. Marketing gets an "A" for this concept. You really just need to...

Really interesting client work from the Forefathers Group. It has all the charm and flair that we found in their own company site and very well executed. I particularly love the spam prevention they have in place at the bottom with the "drag me up" form handle. Only...

I really like this site. Aesthetically it's everything it should be - considering it's an art school site. The layout and typography reminds me of a gallery brochure or poster series. The whole site seems to be organized in an intuitive way despite looking anything...

Fun little branded character to carry this website. Looks like they've done some fun things off the web to pull it back into their site -neat. I think the white text on blue background gets tiresome to read after a while but overall the simplicity and straight up...

Just a superbly crafted web design. I love the simplicity and almost minimalism of this design. I like that the designer is able to get the simplicity and the detail work all in play at the same time. Is it weird to say my favorite page is the contact page? I just...

Pretty clean, easy to scan and understand design. I like the use of the fixed header/nav and the sliding down arrow, that's a nice touch. I also really like the way they've done the main screenshot of the app. Putting it in the macbook then having supporting...

Marked by superb custom artwork with a super strong hand-made feel the KyleSteed.com website is a thing of beauty. I love the simplicity of it all. At the root is a fine level of editing, the portfolio choices are top-notch and the detail page for each has such a...

I really like the look and feel of this website, it's very clean and grid-like, everything I expect in a solid architect firm website. I think the experience is intriguing, if you can get past the loader, the stark red and black image with the arrow that slings you...

I once asked Ron Lewis the creative director what the secret formula to design success is and he said to just add more monkeys. It's just true, well you need some badass design talent too... I love the Chimp Chomp website, from the animations throughout the site to...
cloudberrycreative.com
Given that this is a website for a User Experience Design Consultancy the website has to be super crisp and exact and also precise feeling. They deliver on all those with ease. I like the clean easy going typography matched up with some super neat illustrations. Love...

Pretty sweet little single page design for this game developer. It's a responsive solution as well as looking pretty nice. It hits on all the smart good things you should do with a site and this guy pulls it all off with a single page.

There’s something refined but lively about this site. If I had to sum up my thoughts in just one word, it would be “unexpected.” This website has tons of visual interest. The imagery is quirky and colorful in some cases, and traditional and monochrome in others. Two...
warchild.org.uk
This design for warchild.org.uk is just an assault on your visual sense. The colors and style of the type and illustrations speak volumes about the subject matter - brining a great sense of humanity to the design to help tell the story viscerally as well as in...

Does data make the designer?
Last week Doug Bowman let us all know he was leaving Google as their “Visual Design Lead.” I don’t know for sure but it sounds like he’s been Google’s Art Director. He had a pretty specific reason for leaving as he noted in his blog post: Without a person at (or near)...
Custom Twitter Icon Roundup
I'd wager an unscientific guess that about 90% of the sites in our gallery in the last year or so have some sort of Twitter icon. Normally, it's an icon that someone pulls from an icon site or a version of the twitter logo. But there are some that go above and beyond...
