Design Focus: Tidy Grid Portfolios

November 30, 2012 By Sophia Lucero

Grids are an absolute must when building any design, but this week’s featured sites apply the rhythm of an even grid to lay out their portfolios, becoming the first and pretty much only thing you see when you come visit them. The result is a very neat look—or perhaps stark to other pairs of eyes—but very honest.

Ben Quinn's website

I like the little detail of the fixed header and footer on a layer above the scrolling content. The portfolio items all look similar but they don’t have the same form factor, so there’s an interesting play between uniformity (in the look) and diversity (in the shapes), but still not chaotic. Only question I have is if the white text is readable enough on that shade of gray.

Lanzart website

I find extremely interesting and delightful that animations and icons are used in the portfolio grid instead of the usual thumbnails. Makes you curious enough to see what they are a part of while standing alone as ideas of their own. Fixed elements at the four corners of the screen are at play here, too.

OCAD U Illustration website
OCAD U Illustration

Beautifully responsive and AJAXy, with a little animation applied to the background pattern of the info box in the bottom. GIFs are making a comeback with designy sites. Also expectedly loses the circles and the layout in the inner pages.

Design Focus: Horizontal Storytelling

August 3, 2012 By Sophia Lucero

This week’s featured designs use the not-so-common method of horizontal scrolling to tell their stories, each screenful an idea to absorb on your way to getting to know them fully.

Small Studio website

I love the illustrations, which fit the whole storybook vibe that most horizontal scrolling sites carry. Especially that wide panorama “painting” inside the frame—you don’t see that sort of thing online! There’s no ‘you are here’ indicator in the fixed top left menu, but it’s kind of a good idea that it fades in and out while in the process of scrolling, like a visual cue that you’re doing something. Even the way the site stops on the far right, with book spines, is pretty brilliant.

Reality LA Ruth Series website
Reality LA Ruth Series

Walking animated character, flying in and moving objects, and subtle parallax effects—all token components of this design genre. I also appreciate that the text in each banner uses true webfonts.

ParaNorman website
ParaNorman

The whole look and feel of the movie touches everything here, even the social media icons on the lower right. The fly-out menu meanwhile slides vertically from the bottom, which isn’t too usual, and it’s one big collection of images, which also makes sense since the site is extremely visual and users will remember the pages better by the scenes they’re about.

SEO, Semantics, Web Standards – On web semantics
“Up until today authors were not always certain about what HTML element to use for what functional unit in their HTML page, though, and “living” specs like HTML 5 require authors to keep an eye on what elements will be there going forward to mark up what otherwise calls for “meaningless” fallback elements like div or span.”

“So in this post, I’ll run through a bunch of things from the CSS specifications that you might not have heard of yet.

Design Focus: Pink and Blue

July 27, 2012 By Sophia Lucero

I’ll always remember Flickr as the site that capitalized on this color scheme, but it’s great to see sites that express their love for pink and blue to this day. Check out our featured designs this week!

Visual.ly website
Visual.ly

Even the category icons right after the header/blurb are two-toned. Although the ones on the top right of each infographic, it’s not immediately clear what they mean (although digging a little bit shows me it’s a marker for static and interactive graphics).

VEET website
VEET

I like that the left and right “arrows” use fairly large photo thumbnails instead, although retaining arrow shows would have been nice to maintain the visual cues. There’s an cool, differently-arranged slider in the Products page: it scrolls vertically—the product slides down while the text slides up—and a vertical column of stars in the middle serves as navigation. Which fits the whole Hollywood motif of the site.

Baby Mills website
Baby Mills

The odds were pretty high that we’d see these colors on a baby website, right? Everything that could carry them does, and the same applies for the dashed borders and uneven but textured swatches for content boxes.

Flash & Goal website
Flash & Goal

Very bold move to put all the text, borders, and illustrations in this color, but it does make for a striking effect, like that of a stamp on a cardboard box or a blueprint. When you reach a certain point while scrolling, it snaps to the next screen for you. Another cool idea: putting an input box in an object like a t-shirt. It transforms from a plain user interface element to a more user-friendly one.

Elevation Studios website
Elevation Studios

Lots of trendy elements here, from rockets to moving clouds. Not to mention letterpressed text, the execution of which isn’t too subtle. The illustrations and the metaphors they represent are lovely though, e.g. eyedropper icons for sample work.

Web Standards – W3C and WHATWG finalize split on HTML5 spec, forking ‘unlikely’
“Until last year, the WHATWG and W3C had essentially been working together on a single HTML(5) specification, but in January of 2011, Ian Hickson of the WHATWG described a new development model for web standards: the WHATWG would now focus on an evolving, “living standard,” while the W3C would stick to producing static “snapshots” using its traditional numbered versioning system.”

Friday Focus 04/06/12: By Four

April 6, 2012 By Sophia Lucero

We’re already into the fourth month of the year, and this week we’re featuring designs whose main navigation strictly use that number.

Designs of the Week

Want your site to be as good-looking and inspirational as these? Start by choosing a well-designed theme from ThemeForest.

Brand Almanac website
Brand Almanac

There’s a chalkboard look on the homepage, plus circular links that contrast against the four boxes and alternate with slideshow photographs. On the inside it’s a lighter look while still retaining that classic, old school, neutral feel.

Raffaele Leone's website
Raffaele Leone

I like the keyboard navigation all the way into the deeper sections like the portfolio, but using the bright colors as backgrounds on top of the chunky font in white and black, it’s a bit much.

Planet Propaganda website
Planet Propaganda

The navigation’s actually on top of the full-screen slideshow, but arranged in a triangular, X-mark fashion, carrying both the studio’s logo and slogan—smart and effective move. The shape is repeated in their about page as well.

Friday Focus 09/02/11: Over the Moon

September 2, 2011 By Sophia Lucero

This week’s Friday Focus features designs that incorporate the moon in them.

Designs of the Week

Ryan Lottering's website
Ryan Lottering

Let’s talk about the moon and how it’s in the top right, in the foreground, spinning oh so slowly—just enough for people to notice it’s moving. Overall look seems simple, but I think it’s effective and still makes an impact. I think it’s interesting that the site labels the homepage as the About page at the same time. One nit to pick, while not visual, is that there are two different email addresses being used in three email links.

BlackMoon Design website
BlackMoon Design

It’s funny how this site also uses the Star Trek logo as one of its icons in keeping with the outer space theme. I love the illustrated, painted look in the header, including the word “design” in the logo (which doesn’t look like just another handwritten typeface). It’d be nice to have the headings as real web fonts now instead of images, but then I discovered that the whole design—and I mean every graphic you see on the page—is one big sprite, so kudos to that!

Things We Left on the Moon website
Things We Left on the Moon

This is just a demo site created by Dan Cederholm for An Event Apart Seattle 2010, but there are a lot of neat things to be inspired by here, particularly CSS3 features in the hover effects and typography. Love the idea of the halftoned moon landing picture as a background. The use of purple is also a nice touch, since it’s easy to just reach out for midnight blue when depicting skies and space.
