Holy flippin’ hamsters, this site is beautiful. I don’t know if I’ve seen a site that I love every “square” inch, but I sure do with Squared Eye. From it’s calming hues, to it’s sexy image preview tool tips, to it’s subtle fading navigation, I love it all!
I love the cartoony, yet professional feel – something that I don’t even know if I know how to nail yet. With it’s generous use of white-space, large fonts, smooth-yet-subtle animations and the whale with ear-to-ear grins (I guess I’m loving hyphens), and gratuitous use of Archer, I dig this site big time.
Do check it out. Do tell them that it is hot. Do make a site that is original, fun and smooth like theirs. Do follow Squared Eye on twitter. Do subscribe to this site’s feed now, ’cause more inspiration is coming. Rock the free world.
I like the site, but it’s actually kind of 90s retro. It’s reminiscent of the old suck.com style in many ways.
The use of typography is good, but it kind of has a predictable web designer feel to it.
Not that I’m perfect, by any means, I’m just saying.
The whale has the same kinda retro feel that a lot of the artwork from the fallout game had.
Do agree its a very nice site. Btw you also have a good site here :) look forward to reading it from now on.
This retro style is exactly what i like! Awesome … ^^.
There are some very nice attentions to detail on that site – it’s interesting, though, that in the whole article about how the site rebranding the actual meaning of “Squared Eye” is never revealed…nor does it seem to have any relation to the water/whale theme.
It’s an excellent site and very memorable – and those business cards look amazing.
I came across that site a few weeks ago and def. agree. My favorite part is the Process Makes Perfect section. Very well done.
Wow. Thanks for such high regard, and coming from such a talented designer! I’ve been working hard on the Squared Eye site and business for several years now and it seems its finally paying off. We’re having a great time learning and growing as a small craftsmanship design studio.
Its great to get such great feedback :)
BTW, I just posted your form to Pattern Tap, and now it sits there with several other great clips from your site :)
Cheers!
@Matthew Smith Your site is one of those that keeps drawing me back. For some reason, its easy on the eyes, yet visually stunning and unique enough to do the trick.
I was looking through my delicious bookmarks at sites I had tagged inspiration and yours kept coming back to mind.
I see that you posted my form to Pattern Tap. Thank you! Keep up the great work bro and I look forward to seeing what you can churn out!
:-D Love this site! The typography is beautiful and the site has a very calming feel. O and of course the whale is a very sweet mascot!
