fork-cms.com
Sweet baby chickens! I love how much great artwork comes across our desks... er, virtual desks... computers... whatever. fork-cms.com has a great set of water mythos illustrations and a simple, open style. The bright colors are friendly and saturated without feeling garish or comical, just fun. I haven't tried out the CMS ... More -
rlottering.com
Ryan Lottering's personal site is nice, simple and does a good job of showing off his work. It took me a second to notice the subtle animation. It's so subtle it's almost an easter egg so I won't spoil it for anybody reading this. Just go check it out. The ... More -
42angels.com
Honestly, I somewhat torn about 42angels.com. I think that each 'page' (its a single page scroller) has a really nice visual appeal when static but some of that appeal is lost when scrolling. The limited palette and minimalist modular structure make for a compelling and varied design. However, the large ... More -
duet.me
I suppose there are a couple things to talk about here. First of all, Duet is a soon to be launched iPhone app, which from what I can gather, is some sort of intimate social network where can do 'stuff' with other people. Perhaps 'Duet' is a some sort of ... More -
berkshiresalondayspa.com
Really nice simple detail work to sell the mood of the spa. The bamboo and leaves give it an organic vibe - I can only imagine the place is full of this type of stuff and likely smells of coconut oil... I like the responsive design, the difference in ... More -
indubitablee.com
Via @burciaga AND another nice site redesign by @deniselchandler indubitablee.com We've looked at a number of Ms.Chandler's designs and they are all pretty sweet. Her designs are very illustrative and her style is big and bold and sort of 'anti-elitist-designer-ish' (I think I've just coined an insufferable term). She has a great ... More -
labubbly.com
Neat to see a site design that has a video for the main central feature. Backed up with some decent typography - I do wish it was active type, only for the nerd in me though. The lower portion is very visually interesting mixed with links and non-active spaces. Fun ... More -
ashemfarm.com
This site combines a rigid structure and clean lines with just enough texture to keep it from being too sterile. The site works well in that it's easy to take in whether the user decides to scroll down the page manually or by using the navigation. For single-page scroller type ... More -
mericanmade.com
Funny naming aside, this design is very nice. I love the logo and the animated clouds with fighter jets - can't beat that stuff! I like it most because underneath the guts and glory it's a simple layout with some nicely worked typography. I dig the contact form too, I ... More -
asuonline.asu.edu
.edu sites are challenged with needing to have a variety of info – and a lot of it. They’ve got to communicate to and direct current students as well as prospective students, and in some cases parents. Most likely, that’s the reason they’re usually horribly designed. You won’t find that ... More
