Upstruct berlin oslo

Thu, 11 Jun 2009 13:31:30 -0700

Upstruct berlin oslo was founded in a small apartment in East Berlin in 2005. As time went by, one of the company founders moved to Norway and the two-man designstudio grew into a five-man venture and is now operating with offices in Oslo and Berlin. Not only are these guys incredible print designers, but they also have a supermegaduperbonanza portfolio site that even features a bunch of keyboard shortcuts.

Marfil

Another single page site, this time for Brazilian designer Marcelo Marfil. This one makes use of a simple box grid filled with goodies and designs. In this way, this site functions as Marcelo's very simple portfolio.

Christopher Downer, icon designer and YummyCocoa graphic artist has a to-the-point and dead simple personal hub. Beautiful icons and typography FTW!

Fotopedia

Beautiful and unusual community sites are hard to come by. Fotopedia is one such site with a dark and delicious interface.

This portfolio site is such an inspirational work to behold. The bold color scheme works wonders for their showcased work. The grid is flawless and the typography tops off this masterpiece.

Design Commission

Based in Seattle, Washington, Design Commission does some pretty great interface work. I found the site through this excellent iPhone Stencil Kit, but the site also has a lot going for it. The number one design feature in my opinion is the floating bottom navigation that truly stands out.

MetaLab

Andrew Wilkinson and his gang of interface designers over at MetaLab just launched their new site design. Beautiful as always, with a whole bunch of lovely details all around. I love the active effects on buttons, and the plastic feel to it all is great.

I don't understand much of the text on this page, but that doesn't really matter here on Styleboost. What does matter, however, is the beauty of it all. With the delicate sprinkles of jQuery, this is one of the friendliest sites I've visited all day.

Philips went overboard when they created this campaign site for their latest 21:9 aspect ratio TV. I think the idea of making an original short film to show off the 21:9 aspect ratio is wonderful. The execution is even better. World class!

WhereCloud

WhereCloud is in the business of "state of the art mobile and location-based solutions". This small Canadian firm's site caught my eye mainly for one reason. I think the levels of navigation works really well on this one. I know it isn't a huge site, so they don't need to clutter it with all kinds of stuff. But I think the main navigation and the subnavigation are in perfect harmony. Perhaps it's the large size of the clickable areas (i.e. buttons), or perhaps it's the fact that both levels of navigation are close to the middle of the screen. Not really sure there, you see. Anyhow, the point is that I love this site.

Big Spaceship

Big Spaceship is a digital agency in NYC with a special focus on web design. Their portfolio site is top notch in my book. Nothing extraordinary in the sense of being "unfamiliar". But the site is definitely up there when it comes to a clean, professional execution. It was truly a pleasure to visit.

Lacoste Red!

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 14:18:59 -0700

Discover the new Lacoste Collection by Christophe Lemaire. Fashion, sneakers, super slim fits, colorful styles, 60's inspired, etc. There's funky music and a lot of slow motion video to be had. As a campaign site for clothes, this site works really well. Cool stuff. Still, those kids don't seem like people I would enjoy hanging out with.

Serial Cut

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 14:09:36 -0700

For ten years, Serial Cut has created fantastic visual works again and again. This time the site takes it up a notch with a fantastic, correct me if I'm wrong, jQuery impersonation of a Flashfolio. Once again, the new works are simply outstanding. Thumbs up!

A simple blog/news + some company info site. The grid is nice, the colors are fresh and the typography works well.
