So I've looked at reviewing the Vic Roads site, out of Australia, a couple of times since it's been in our queue and it took me a little while to come to peace with it. I think my initial problem was that it is very text heavy, so we don't often look at those sites as...
Pretty decent band website. It get's straight to the point and doesn't bog you down with giant photos and crazy background design stuff. Band name, play music samples, buy stuff... that's all you need really.
Solid, solid design here. There's a lot to this design but I only want to look at one thing for this write up. Take a look at the screen layout changes between what looks like iPhone and iPad - the marquis areas break out of being on top of the hero image to go...
It's a fun website to scroll through. It's also pretty nifty visually. I like the navigation by year and then also by major event (bookmarks). Solid stuff.
A simple feeling design that is anything but simple. Clearly, they utilized their Material Design approach to this site. There is also some really nice little interactions, like the "ping" visual thing when you click on main links. I will say that this site is way...
A beautifully executed website for Audubon. I love how the first thing you see is kind of like a splash screen, with a large image but still visible navigation, then as you scroll it slides up to reveal a more traditional feeling site. Then the site is not very...
Good, clean portfolio site from Giang Nguyen out of Vietnam. It's very simple, with the work being the main focus. I like the little refreshing tag lines on the top left - will say that on my browser, it is hard to see under Giang's name in the sticky header. All...
As expected from Formula 1, this is a slick, solid and bold website. The first thing to grab you is the quality of the large and spectacular images on the home page. As a designer, if you’re given images such as these to play with you know your design is going to be...
Interesting site out of Limerick, Ireland, in their bid to become the European Capital of Culture for 2020 - love to see a site that is built around the cultural events of a city. Really like how they have taken their logo - made a font out of it - and used it...
Good clean one-pager agency out of Belgium for Designosource. While the site is good, I think what is more impressive is that this looks to be a hybrid agency / teaching environment that grew out of a college classroom - probably the professors' needs to give students...
What the... I only wish some of the hacked websites we've seen over the years could have been this cool. I'm writing this Sunday, May 31st - and not sure how the site is changing on June 1st (the last part of this one-pager for possibly a video game by 2K (@2K) , says...
I wish that there were more of these types of sites out there like the Old New York City site, made by The NY Public Library, their NYPL Labs section, and Dan Vanderkam (Twitter handles below). Yes - we're still a style gallery, so you may ask why put this site out...
In this week's Radar: The State of Design Tools: An Unscientific Survey BizCraft Episode 50: The one where we look back over the top 10 episodes Bourbon, Bitters, and Neat HOW TO DESIGN A TYPEFACE 1 hour of research saves 10 hours of development time Creating Google...
So I've been listening to Rick Allen's music (from Def Leppard) for over 30 years now - and looks like he has a new website out. Really cool - has great full-width images (that are art pieces that Rick has photographed or designed). Speaking of the art - check it out...
I don't think when I started writing for Unmatchedstyle, that I thought I would be reviewing the Prime Minister of India's website - but here it is. From what I can tell from his site, PM Narendra Modi seems like a hip and with it leader - a good bridge between...
i first looked at Marcin Dmoch's portfolio site on my phone - and really liked the quick interaction with swiping, instead of just using the menu. Like the different look of the Work pages too. From the Designer: "Marcin Dmoch - WEB/UI Designer living in Poland /...
I'm digging this design for Zenhusen by Rodolfo Agency out of Stockholm. It has enough technical UI stuff to make it cool, but love the movement and clean layers that really make the design of the site. Submitted by: Rodolfo Agency Twitter:@RodolfoAgency...
I wasn't a fan of this app product page for Hell'o Baby at first. When we have a site submitted to us, we immediately check for responsiveness by pulling the browser left and right, checking for how the site resizes. Hell'o Baby at the iPhone view on desktop, not so...
Really love the new nGen Works site out of Jacksonville, Florida. There's a really good change of emphasis to "what we can do" vs "who we are". I like this because as cool as most agency sites are, there have been big trends to show the people and the lifestyle of the...
Strong grid design and some some solid/strong color makes this website shine for Frank Digital. I especially like the asymmetrical layout of the portfolio section on the home page. Designer: Frank Digital Sydney & Melbourne From the Designer: We create websites...
Standard layout here, but what's neat is the main icon designs and their interactions. Needs to be responsive for sure though. From the Designer: An extreme usable way to let clients discover the company world. A web place projected and designed to show all the...
The layout of The Atlantic is insanely simple. In many ways it mimics such things as say Instagram. It keeps me intrigued with headline after headline and super great photo after photo. I love this, just sitting here scrolling and reading and looking. Thing does it's...
Every now and then Weightshift will rework their website. I'm in love with this version for sure - not that the past dozen were not good by any stretch. I love simplicity and the way this site has traveled down that path over the years is a work of art. Luuurrve this...
I LOVE the Froont website design. Man those gifs are fantastic for explaining what the heck the app is all about. Then the Features and Pricing section on the home page is brilliantly designed IMHO. Love it, all the way.
I like they way the site for Authentic Form & Function here uses the 'hero' area to sort of lay out a presentation of sorts. Then you taper down into a more or less typical website layout. All the way down to the footer area which is quite nicely executed.
This is a sadly beautiful site about horror and atrocities of the Riga Ghetto in Latvia during the Holocaust. It weaves images, illustrations, video, audio, and even Google Street View into incredible multi-experience stories. "THE RIGA GHETTO AND HOLOCAUST IN LATVIA...
There's a glitch in the Matrix... sometimes glitches are good, like nClud out of DC - their site is trippy, but a cool experience. Great transitions between pages, and creative use of type heavy pages. (I do think the Pink Floyd documentaries I watched last week are...
So... at first I wondered if I was getting into a blog with the way the Work.co flows at first - but there were hints that this was going to be an subtle intro to the rest of the site - ended up loving this site! Love the page layout of the navigation - you scroll...
This falls into the category of "Me Want" - Lily: a drone - an HD video camera - and it follows you and your GPS tracker. I'm thinking about how many times it would have to just hover there while I'm picking myself up and out of the snow while snowboarding... but...
Not only is the flow funky, but the hovers are real cool and fit really well with this site by Go Media. There's also a Save the Date at the bottom that's real cool as well. Side Note: I love the idea of a mystery speaker. What say you though?
