Friday Focus 09/25/09: Circles

September 25, 2009 By Sophia Lucero

This week on Friday Focus, we have websites that feature circular shapes prominently in their designs. Time to break out of the boxiness and round things up!

Designs of the Week

Nora Rose Travis

Excellent concept and presentation, I love it! The only problem here is the way the site was coded: old-school mouseovers and preloaders.

Hello

I like that instead of the usual rounded-corner buttons we have circular buttons here. Another freeform layout.

Goodman Marketing Partners

I really like the navigation boxes right below the header, and how everything’s side by side, without borders. I also like the color palette here. It’s very professional, but not your cliche combination of hues.

NCAD Postgraduate Study

Another pro site, but this time the circular photos give just a touch of hip. I just wish the elements were repeated in the inner pages.

CSScake

How often do you see galleries with images masked by circular borders? It changes things up quite a bit, doesn’t it? I would have liked a bit more detail here, but since it’s a showcase site anyway, putting the focus on the featured sites is fine.

Lilly's Table

I really wish this were more than a landing page, because I’m curious how they’d implement the design on a full site, which unfortunately doesn’t carry over to the blog. Maybe next time.

Chance Graham

So well done. The grungy details don’t look tiresome; the circles inside boxes makes everything look different; and the orange and gray combination just leaps out at you.
