typing it up!!

this english cat created some pretty rad type to display his name on his homepage. note the custom icons @ the top of the page. very clean, simple icons add to the clean, modern-yet-home-grown feel to the design. good stuff...

artsy artist site (shock | surprise | awe | beauty)

okay, so this website is just as screwed up as i am. that deserves some serious recognition from this blog. you fucking win, zalibarek. well done my friend.

so often there's this massive gap between an artist & their online presence, and zalibarek not only avoids the gap, but in my opinion furthers the reputation of the artist by demonstrating prowess in the online realm in addition to the installations, video, and other fine works.

kickin animation! Very fun & playful

This sa-weet site brings out the secret agent in all
of us. Cool animation loads super fast (even on those of us cheap skates running dsl). love the playful & interactive nature of this thing.

The design is cartoony in the best way: it's polished & modern, but just enough retro @ the same time. Kind of campy in that way. Clean layout & very usable as well. The typography could be a little more playful as well, but it's straight treatment lends to very high readability. me gusta mucho!

intelligent house site

In this website, users can control an Intelligent House, opening blinds, turning lights on, preparing the bath and a lot more, all using remote controls.Pretty sweet usability.

illustraion + animation composition

Charming wall (also built by Also) takes illustration and animation and pieces it together into a beautiful composition that knits everything together.

Baking some goodies

The Colson bakery had it's web presence designed by Also, a very talented 3-person shop based in Chicago & NYC. Very nice integration of background elements with info laid out on top.

anything but sktechy

So okay, this thing shows the massive potential that web apps have for becoming creative tools. It's pretty unbelievable, especially when you consider the diverse range of styles that these illustrators have created with this thing!
