12 Dishes

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

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

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

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

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

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/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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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...

Stellar

Stellar

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.

Bose

Bose

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"...

Henrik & Sofia

Henrik & Sofia

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.

Nuts & Woods

Nuts & Woods

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...

Bubba Croquettes

Bubba Croquettes

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...

The Woork Co

The Woork Co

Bienvenido to your Monday - here's a quick site out of Madrid from The Woork Co. I like the little surprise of the animated gifs in the block design as links to their work. The whole site is very clean and crisp and solid. From the Designer: Madrid based studio design...

Built By Krit

Built By Krit

Full disclosure - the boys at Krit are friends of ours - they actually sit, um, right there 10 feet away from us in the co-work we run - and they have a lot to offer. We were building our new "agency" site at the same time, so it's been fun to watch each other's work...

Radar #132

Each week, we do a round up of curated "stuff from the interwebs" that we call Radar. In this week's 132nd Radar: 20 Typography Trends to Pay Attention to in 2016 Thanks to the omnipresence of digital devices, everyone is becoming aware of the importance of digital...

Valio Con 2016

Valio Con 2016

Smooth, and seemingly minimal work from the Valio Conference out of San Diego - the site looks great on desktop and mobile, and kind of has a cool parallax effect between speakers. Also love the Instagram-feed looking slide-show - nice touch!

Taikonauten

Taikonauten

Good full-width agency work from Taikonauten out of Berlin. I like how they make the device images complement the page coloring - and show the devices in different views and states - smart for agency / portfolio work.

Aire West Perth

Aire West Perth

Dang - that's a cool website for Aire West Perth - an apartment building sales site out of Australia. Great video background work - and then about everything you would need to get you to come and visit in person. I mean hey - it made me want to go back to Australia...

Herdl

Herdl

Nice minimal site from Herdl out of the UK. Minimal because they hit you with headlines on the front page, instead of a lot of words (that your potential client never reads anyway... no... really). There's meat in the Services pages - but the home is simple, but with...
