Web Design Inspiration Curated

democrats.org

It's Nov 2nd, election day here in the US so in honor of said day we're serving up both sides of the house with screen cast reviews of both sites: The democrats.org website is very clean and calming. The blues are nicely worked together and the red and other...

gop.com

It's Nov 2nd, election day here in the US so in honor of said day we're serving up both sides of the house with screen cast reviews of both sites: Upon first look the gop.com website is well done, the graphics are all nicely put together and things seem pretty well...

blog.weareagoodcompany.com

I love the illustrative look to this blog. It's very accessible feeling and makes you smile as you look over the graphics. It's pretty straight forward in what it's presenting too which really shows off the posts. I Love this stuff.

themify.me

One of the nicer wordpress theme sites i've seen. I love the scale of everything on the page and the display of info is well done on the home page. I particularly like the "slideshow" on the home page too. The sub pages are well done as well with the graphics showing...

Brand New Conference

Aside from looking like an incredible conference featuring some of the long time leaders in graphic design thinking, this is a really beautiful looking website design. I love the colors and large bold type treatment. The blocky mixed with the thin line type is just...

cargoh.com

Pretty good design for so much content and imagery. I like the stark black and white base used in this design and they overall approach to the typography is nice as well. I'm not wild about the design of the drop-down navigation elements but that's about it, the rest...

pubweb.com.br

Interesting layout here with the slide out portfolio section. I really like that detail and the javascript interactions, like the bounce the portfolio has when you're loading more pages is a nice touch. This is a pretty non-standard layout and it's memorable to say...

joeylomanto.com

Nice single page website. I like the way the large graphic tells the story of what Joey can do & showcases what skills you get with him. I'm not sure what the graph (or if it's a graph) really represents, but it looks good - Gantt chart maybe? One other weird thing...

I like the 3D flourishes on this design, having them on the roll-overs is a good choice. I like the color mix here too. I've not seen these colors like these together before - Love it. I also like the half circle lines, they really lead your eye around the page very...

ngenworks.com

The new site for nGen Works is a top-notch example of both design and craft. It's an exercise in subtlety and bold graphics at the same time. The colors speak loudly but there's depth in the details and craftsmanship in the site that I love to see. The horizontal...

Cognition

The new blog for Happy Cog called Cognition, pretty cool naming. I love this design, it's chock full of really interesting interaction detail work and layout elements. There's so much going on here in this deceptively simple looking blog i'll just cross off my...

paulleedesign.com

Paulleedesign.com has beautiful artwork. The layout is a simple, one column tower with muted color and texture. This is pretty ideal for displaying the artwork, which is pretty stunning. Thats pretty much all there is to the site: a beautiful header,  a simple...

princestreetfilms.com

Princestreetfilms.com is a site that embraces the simple. This one pager breaks the space into quadrants for different content types instead of having multiple pages. Each 'link' triggers a slider that reveals the hidden content. It's an interesting user experience...

racket.net.au

Love this freaky illustration, love it. The little bubble like 3D elements that are navigation buttons are brilliant looking as well. Somehow this site has a handmade feel at the same time having a very digital vibe, not entirely sure what that means but I do love...

tvlcorp.com

This website is an elegant site with well a ordered aesthetic: emphasis is placed on simple trusty sans-serif typography and whitespace. A judicious use of color livens the space and provides a simple road map to content at the top of the visual hierarchy.

amazeelabs.com

Amazeelabs.com is amazingly fun and illustrative. The site makes extensive use of PNGs to place their artwork and icons. The effect is open and fun. The site is well structured and easy to navigate. I especially like the newsletter, which is a drawer at the top of the...

shawnjohnston.ca

This is the second version of Shawn Johnston's site we've reviewed here for the gallery, first version here. Julia and I did a screen cast review of this version. We both quite like the design. The textures are so nice and we both loved the typography. We discussed...

thereforeiamrock.com

Really nice grungy treatment to this website. I like the large display type in the header area, and the nice texture/grunge there. There might be one too many banner type elements on the design, but they are each well done. I can't decide if it's too matchy-matchy or...

redtiki.com.au

redtiki.com.au is a visually active site. It employs cartoon 3d illustration, subtle flash and jQuery animation and tons of texture. Honestly, the look is fun as hell. I searched around the site just to find all of the tiki dudes so I could watch their loops. Pretty...
