Pink Overload, Lots Of Web 2.0 & Amazing

Friday, April 30th, 2010

It’s been getting a lot better recently with the site submitting thing I have up at the top of the blog. Quiet a few really nice looking designs have been coming in through it. Here is a great example of the quality of sites being submitted.

This one comes from Marcello Manso, a form tool site. Lots of pink… I could have never imagined what a decent looking, all-pink, site could look like, but this one goes beyond that… I really like the different shades of pink used and a nice contrast of the white text. The Web 2.0 style large text and logo, the subtle  shining rays behind the logo and of course the large cartoon chef.

Looking really good!

Detailed Blue Background & Clean Design

Saturday, April 3rd, 2010

Every day I get a bunch of submissions to feature various sites and blogs and I would say that 90% of the time the site design is not that good and a lot of it is just self promotion… But once in a while there will be a site submitted that is really nice and I want to feature it on the blog, and this one from StereoFocus is one of them.

I love the subtle swirls and different patterns in the light bluish background and the gradients effects applied to it really gives the site depth. The other elements on the site that make it look good is the clean page, lots of white space, lighter gray font color and just the way the site is laid out.

A while ago I featured Jannis’ website here for the beautiful, relaxed, paradise design in it’s header. Recently, he redesigned the header and made it even more beautiful with lots more detail and design elements.

Also wanted to mention the navigation bar, it’s pretty simple and yet very nice looking. With the subtle hover effect and nice little icons.

Amazing work Jannis, great job!

Eye Catching Flash Website

When thinking about a completely Flash based website, one (me) thinks, “that’s so early 2000′s”, integrating traditional HTML/CSS with Flash works a lot better and turns out cleaner and takes up less resources. Then, once in a blue moon, you find a site that is done so well that you can’t say much to criticize. Here’s an excellent example of what a real professionally done fully flash website could be. Love it.

Unique, Simple & Clean Blog Design

The cleanliness, the amazing use of “white” (shades of gray) space is what caught my eye on this blog design. The bold reds bringing important elements out. This blog design allows the visitor to be able to navigate with ease thanks to it’s simple navigation and pretty standard layout structure.  I think this blog’s ease of use approach is the best that I’ve seen in a while.

Wow! This amazing piece of work belongs on a canvas hanging on a wall somewhere with a $3,000 frame around it. The beautiful castle, with the under water workings, the vibrant colors, the detail. It’s just not often you find a design that just grabs your attention, stuns and amazes you that the only thing you can say is Wow! These guys have talent.
