Sweet mama, how can this page be so simple, yet so sexy?
Yup, that’s exactly what I said to myself when I saw dConstruct 2009’s newest design by clearleft. I envy them in a very specific way. Simplicity and minimalism. Let me explain.
We all know the kind of sites I design. Detailed and illustrative, but that takes time and often it actually hinders the design. The kind of sites I design tend to be too detailed, and as a result get too busy. The more busy the page is, the more it dilutes the user’s focus and dilutes the experience. I hate this about my design style and my aim is to design sites more and more in the fashion that clearleft does. Simply, beautifully and stunning. Not too much. Not to little.
I love dConstruct 2009’s bold, simple and big style. I love it’s vibrance and quirkiness. I love the speaker view page, with just the right amount of character. I love the fact that the nav isn’t just a horizontal bar. It breaks the mold by offsetting the current navigation item and really ties the whole theme and branding in. It is this type of website that the pros make. This website seems very easy to design. It seems like the design would be very easy to attain, yet it is this sort of site that is hardest to attain, because of it’s striking balance of simplicity and style.
Good job on creating a very inspiring and relevant site clearleft! Your work is an inspiration to me.
I think its a great site.
You DO have good taste Rogie. HAHA. I’d have to say the Nav is my favorite part. It just seems so original and well done.
Thanks for sharing.
I just stumbled on your website when looking at vector turotials and I am very impressed. I am just coming of age if you will in CSS design, and I find your site inspirational. Have you noticed a lot of sites are using this “3d ribbon” effect? I have found quite a few lately, seems to be the latest trend.
