5 Most Bizarre but Useful Calendars

November 7, 2011 By Devlounge

I love calendars. While they have become largely unnecessary thinks to technology in just about every electronic in the average person’s possession, there is just something special about them.

Maybe it is the traditional touch that reminds me of earlier days, when cell phones were enormous and computers were a novelty in homes. Perhaps it is the decorative nature and the anticipation of moving on to the next month. It could even be that the electronic calendars just lose something in translation and don’t do it for me.

Whatever the reason, I am not alone. In fact, some people even come up with creative – and strange – calendars that are just as handy as they are awesome. If you are interested in traditional methods of keeping track of the days, check out these unique versions. [Read more…]

Friday Focus 05/27/10: In Your Face Illustrations

May 28, 2010 By Sophia Lucero

This week on Friday Focus: illustrations that appear front and center in these websites, because we want them big, bright, and beautiful.

Designs of the Week

Pieoneers

Highly detailed and scrumptious “pie chart”! The colorful illustration style and metaphors all the way into the footer not only adds interest but are artfully done.

Chopin2010

I just love a design that breaks out of the box. Once again this is a lovely work of art, with touches of calligraphy and fascinating shapes growing out of the swirls. The inside page design is more organized but keeps this look in the header.

xhtmlCafe

It’s great that you can find lots of clickable elements in the illustration itself, and the metaphor really works. The hand-drawn, watercolor style carries over to the other page elements like the icons. I wish the form fields and buttons joined in the fun too.

Protège la forêt - WWF

The center-focused layout works well, as does the bold black text and buttons, greens, and oranges.

The Peach Design

Showcasing your work in the biggest, widest way possible is a surefire way to set the look and feel of your site. In this case it’s spilling with bright pinks and trendy type.

Beraterherz - Anne Schoenemann

Some quieter shades of pink in here but still striking. Notice the recycling of the hearts, stars, roses, and leaves in the rest of this one page site.

Roaaar! INC

Super-wide layout with a sprinkle of parallax, -webkit-transform, and subtle jQuery hover effects. The most exciting portion is the contact form at the footer.

Hull Digital Live 09

I love this sketchy look accompanied by a pattern of ocean waves. (You can actually download it as a wallpaper if you want.)

Creative Sessions

This isn’t a groundbreaking layout or look but it somehow feels different. A case of letting the picture speak a thousand works, perhaps?

André Gonçalves

Topnotch icon work and typography. Just look at it. The vignettes in the corners are a bonus.

Caramel Ink

Fantastic illustrations, but other design details fall a little short of its elegance and whimsy.

Carbonmade

This one, on the other hand, overflows with whimsy! Nothing says it like a unicorn and a mustache sign in icon.

Digiti

I like that the rabbit and its hole is a mini power line leading in to the next section’s boxes. The slanting boxes and buttons are great too.

Friday Focus 03/26/10: Full Bloom

March 26, 2010 By Sophia Lucero

Let’s celebrate the new season with stunning designs that display the best nature has to offer. Happy Friday Focus!

Designs of the Week

ktgardens.cz - příběh vaší zahrady

Wonderful design. The hover effects are brilliant. I also like how the layout is open and flowing. Both the photographs and the inner page designs are full of personality.

Modstudio

The integration of nature here is simple and limited but the effect is still eye-catching.

Solace Beeswax Candles

I can’t stop looking at this site. The art is topnotch. It’s warm and relaxing but still a strong color palette; I want to put it on my desktop or hang it on my wall. The animated candles are a nice, subtle touch.

Visualwild.com :: Portfolio for James Ricks

Despite its darkness, the has the same effect on me as the previous one—the design has a great scene that puts you in a certain mood. The typography and other graphic details are also excellent. Tiny gripe: the contact icons and CSS awards could have been blended in better.

Arvorecer

Despite some cliche elements (the man with outstretched arms and the glowing tree), there are some great graphic details on this site. My favorite would have to be the borders turned twisting ribbons turned hills, with leaf-like patterns—how do you even describe this? The brown, orange, gold, and green colors blending into one another is just great.

Larissa Meek

December 26, 2006 By Devlounge

In a Devlounge exclusive, I recently got the chance to talk design and art with a former Miss USA, current Bikini.com supermodel, and of course, designer. Sit back and give our interview with Larissa Meek a read.

Devlounge: Hey Larissa, thanks for giving up some time around the holidays to chat with me. Mind giving a quick background on yourself so everyone knows who you are?

Larissa Meek - 2

Larissa Meek: I’m an artist, web designer, bikini.com supermodel. I placed 4th runner up at Miss USA 2001. But I’m most likely known as the girl from NBC’s Average Joe: Hawaii… (Oh yeah, and I was a kid with asthma.)

DL: How old were you when you began designing sites and digital artwork? Did you “teach yourself” your skills, or did learn from a school or other resource?

LM: The year was 2001. I was 22 years old. A month before I had bombed my top 5 question at Miss USA then became a recently laid-off 3D animator.

I felt lost. I needed to work and there was very little opportunity for 3D animation in St. Louis, so I turned to the web as a way to promote my artwork and modeling portfolio.

I studied 3D animation in school so the familiarity of timelines and motion made Macromedia Flash an easy transition. Thanks to hundreds of books, great resources on the web and a passion for visual stuff I learned web design on my own. Today my focus is on css/xhtml based sites.

Larissameek.com

DL: Let’s talk about design first. You’re a senior designer at Agencynet, and you run your own portfolio and studio site, along with a blog. I’d say you’re a bit busy. What’s it like try to balance all three, and how’s work at Agencynet?

LM: AgencyNet is my first and foremost priority. It gives me the rare opportunity to contribute to stunning projects in an energizing environment.
I admire the people I work for and with. I can’t imagine working anywhere else.

I wake up every day and feel energized by doing what I love.
It never feels like work.

Since I started working at AgencyNet, I have stopped freelancing with the exception of the occasional favor or charity based site. However, larissameek.com serves as a testing ground for new ideas. I never want to stop learning. I wake up every day and feel energized by doing what I love.
It never feels like work.

DL: In terms of some of your artwork, a lot of it is focused on a woman’s life and body. Is there a reason for this reoccurring theme in your art?

LM: I think, as a result of modeling and growing up a little girl bombarded with images of female perfection I became fascinated with the female form.

I find the flowing curves more captivating than trying to figure out the defined muscular structure of the masculine form and I’m a sucker for fashion. It also seems that some of my works subconsciously become auto-biographical.

A selection of artwork by Larissa

DL: You had the chance to spend 8 weeks in Hawaii filming the NBC show “Average Joe”. I do remember bits and pieces of the show, but I never watched the entire thing. What was that like being part of the “reality TV”
craze?

LM: It was the most fun and most emotionally difficult part of my life.
Reality TV is not reality. It is very much produced and seeded. Don’t get me wrong… It’s really fun but a lot of the situations are molded to have an outcome for the highest entertainment value. And then there’s the magic of editing.

I had a blast being on the Average Joe: Hawaii. I met oodles of really cool people and dreaded every “elimination” night.

The strangest part is going from obscurity to becoming semi-famous. At the height of the show I was walking into Hollywood VIP parties and talking to celebrities whom had been watching my show. About a year later people are like, “I know you from somewhere. What High School did you go to?”

I respond, “I think I sat behind you in math class.” (hee hee)

Also, contrary to the way the show ended, I’m still dating the guy I picked.

DL: Going from competing at Miss USA to a designer is a pretty sharp change in occupations. Did you find it a struggle to turn careers around like that?

LM: Coming back from Miss USA was a whirl-wind. Especially because I bombed my on-stage question which you can see on YouTube, but the more I think about it the more I realize that things happen for a reason. I love design and I love technology.

DL: You’re known for a multitude of different things, from web design, to art, to television appearances, but which would you prefer people recognize you for?

LM: For web design and art.

Larissa Meek - 1

DL: What are some of your other favorite things to do in your spare time away from the designer world?

LM: When I’m not at AgencyNet I’m probably thinking about what to blog about next. Otherwise I like to break out my sketchbook or hunt for books on anything from fiction to computers to art.

DL: Are you happy you made the switch to designing? Any regrets?

LM: No regrets ever! I’m just amazed how I aimed to do something else and web design found me. The path it took me to get where I am now is something I could have never imagined. I just know that since I was a little girl I always wanted to work in something visually stimulating.

DL: We’ll that about wraps it up. It was an honor to conduct this interview with you. Hopefully I’ll be talking to me Miss USA’s in the future, but that’s another story :). Good luck in the future, we’ll be watching!

LM: Hey, thanks for the opportunity to chat! I love Devlounge! You guys rock. If I come across any available Miss USA girls, I’ll be sure to pass on their number, so long as they don’t get fired.
