Web Design...again.

Hello, I got a few examples of great stuff from a few top design firms working right now. Both were found whilst looking through this year's Communication Art's Interactive Design. The first is for Factory Labs, a company that really deals with a diverse client group but is mostly known for their work with outdoor companies. Anyhow, I thought it was great that their site was just a greatest hits reel, much like you would see in a 3d portfolio, and 2 links. The first link being a bunch of great reviews and the second, how to contact them. I think they made a great site that gets to the point.

Secondly, Plural Design, a chicago-based design firm that specializes in strong typography and strong composition. This is more of my style personally but, it kind of pales in experience when compared to Factory Lab's site. That said, i find their site aesthetically pleasing and very easy to navigate utilizing a simple menu and excellent hierarchy.

Enjoy!

Good Stuff

Hello, these are some websites I found whilst cruising through some magazines. The first one is for a designer named Stefan Dziallas. Mr. Dziallas does great work in the world of icons for large clients such as Cooking magazine and ESPN. His website I think really reflects his work: clean simple and easy to read. I really like that he unites his website by color and does a good job of using space.

Secondly, this site is one that i stumbled upon while looking up examples for the upcoming project regarding the Parkland Theatre. ESI design actually specializes in designing physical spaces, taking on an entire project. I enjoy the clean, simplicity (ummm...i'm noticing a trend here) and easy to navigate. I think the use of flash in their gallery is an excellent way to display a bunch of navigation "above the fold". Super nice!

handmade goodness

Hello and welcome back. I'm serving up two more websites that are along the same lines as the other website i posted last week. The first one is the "save the chickens" website. This site is fictitious in nature but has an underlying tone of free trade being integrated into our economy. Fair enough. I really enjoyed going through the website due to the handmade feeling of it. I don't know why but i'm really drawn to these sites that utilize a simulation of real craftsmanship. Anyhow, the second one deals with yet another band, Facing New York. Not really my kind of tunes but hey, i'm a reverend horton heat fan. This too has a grungy, crafted on a coffee table during a rowdy party thing to it and it really works. The site map is part of the navigation and frankly, i really like the obviousness of it. These were both done by wefail and i f0und these examples in Fingerprint a book by Chen Design Associates published in 2006 and is available in your local library.....as soon as i'm done sniping these great designs! cheers!

incredible!

Hello! Man i've got a few things you're gonna like. the first being a website for Bill Harvey. "An aging rock start that needed a website...". As you'll see the website takes you around Bill's apartment after a night of drinking. I really enjoy the look and feel of the website. The handmade feel of the website unifies it with the actual "real" cutouts photographs in the uhh....photographs....anyhow, this things was put together by SoFake. There website warrants a walk around aswell. It's truly incredible what's available right now. Enjoy!
