Animated GIFs as Art

I found I AM NOT AN ARTIST (an animated GIF paranoia about non-stop design workers) quite interesting, probably because the use of color is so delicately balanced.

We Choose The Moon

Design by ben tricklebank, WeChooseTheMoon.org is a real time immersive interactive website for the JFK Library and Museum to commemorate the 40-year anniversary of Apollo 11, JFK's pioneering vision to land the first man on the moon.

It's All in the Flow

Robin Snasen Rengård's work for Oslo Fashion Week is organic and textural, with a voided flowing quality that reminds me of the Big Love opening credits. Keep your eyes peeled for this growing trend.

Journey to Zero

In an effort to reduce auto emissions, Nissan gathers designers, architects, and filmmakers in A Journey To Zero. Beautiful website, with various print tendencies that are well translated to the digital world, including typography that will make any developer want to run.

Cozy Website

I really like the new Orange Girl Photographs website by Uppercase. It's clean, simple, easy to use, and has textural touches that really bring the composition together. From the wooden backgroundto the paper texture, or the accents of orange and watercolor illustrations that appear as the page loads, it's a great example of how well contained design elements should be, but how the little details can really make a website.

Browser PONG

No one particularly likes Mondays (especially Mondays after holidays), so you should definitely take 5 minutes to play PONG by Stewdio. It's the same as the original game of Pong, except you play with the browser windows! Challenging and easily hidden, this is the perfect way to look busy at work while having a little fun — consider this a belated Christmas present.

House Industries

I have a crush on House Industries... Known throughout the world as a prolific type foundry, they have not only perfected typography and color palettes, they also know web design... Their impact on the world of design is significant, and the apparent expertise in the variety of their work is quite stunning. Love at first sight!
