Web Design Inspiration Curated
Details
Kind of a parallax type approach, but really just targeted scrolling with some really badass inter-section animations. I love those section transitions. Solid.
JPKaudstall.com
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!
12 Dishes
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...
POC Sculpture
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...
Anekdote
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.
hue
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...
Ashley Farrand
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.
Radar #134
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/o 2016
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.
Haruki Murakami
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.
Spacecraft
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...
Mayor’s Challenge Bloomberg
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...
Vintage Hope
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.
TSE Foundation
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.
Hermes Financial Services
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.
The Kings Arms
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).
Radar #133
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,...
Inside Abbey Road
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...
We Heart
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...
NBA Faceoff
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...
