Site Finds of The Day

A design firm in Oslo, Norway, Bleed‘s site is sleek and its portfolio impressive. What I like best: The use of cyan-and-black color palette with jarring contrast rollover effect, which is a nice slap to wake your eyes up.

Love this Fudge site! Photoshop mimicry and design simplicity meets Javascript crisp layering with the nice attention to detail. Checkout the favicon!

Gridplane‘s sober blue-and-black photos nicely compliments its mechanical design.  Yet, the burst of color on rollover snaps you out of that rigidity and offers a nice, almost-like-melting-ice-over-colorful-playground quality to the transition.

Pretty snapshots of Provence

Check out these stunning snapshots of Provence from travel book of photographer Thomas Duval and sound designer Tacteel. Beautiful little touches. Subtle movements. I particularly like the map!

+LifE by Unouplus

This cool +LifE site from Yoshihiro Toda aka Unouplus is a simple user-generated private movie archives but its interface is a pleasure in interactivity, color, motion and simplicity. When you have time, do check his portfolio.

Journey To Zero

Journey to Zero is a nifty site with drag/click/arrow-key navigation that invites exploration of its beautiful layout and typography. Born under the tutelage of Richard Saul Wurman (TED founder),  it will guide the conversation around zero emission mobility. You can join the movement, make a poster, download the font, take the pledge and spread the word around you.

Several super-talented creative minds collaborated in bringing the site to life, including Nessim Higson aka IAAH, Mitchell Paone aka DIA and Marcus Eriksson aka Subdisc (my favorite-designer-du-jour; the talented creative mind behind many of the Nike/Jordan interactive projects).

Digg Labs / 365

Cool infographics from Digg Labs: 365, stack, swarm, arc… I still like Spectra Visual Newsreader and We Feel Fine better though.
