Today’s post highlights the design of Favela.se. A predominantly monochrome palette uses a few splashes of light pink for navigation controls and link rollovers, directing the eye towards a full-width full-color portfolio slideshow that features a smooth auto-advance animation and an ample view into the details of the specific design job. Thumbnails of recent blog entries maintain the same “widescreen” ratio as the portfolio slideshow, and two columns of text snippets separated with custom type headers bring the visual balance back to the center. The only thing i’d change would be to vertically flip the thumbnail portrait next to the contact information in the right side of the header to look towards the main content instead of away from it.
