Today’s post highlights the design of BlackRabb.it. A single page design with a strong grid places the main focus on highlighting the portfolio with embedded thumbnails. The overall dark colors are balanced with background noise texture, glowing text effects on section headers, and rollover highlight effects. Move the mouse over the themed client logos to see translucent glowing popups, and click the “+” button between the header and main sections for a colorful illustration. Press Alt+G or Cmd+G to view the grid lines that govern the placement of all the elements in the main section. If you open the site in a WebKit browser (such as Safari), the rollover effects use fading / moving animations, and the expanded illustration has a few moving elements as well.

Today’s post highlights the design of BlueSkyResumes.com. With an attractive choice of soothing sky blue background, the design features an intricate array of overlaying translucent shaped layers (seen throughout the rest of the site such as the “About us” page). Clean typography, subtle text effects, white space for improved scanning and readability and a clever illustration for the “cookie cutter” message are just a few indicators of how much attention was spent on the design. Move the mouse over the left-hand buttons and the top-right blog link to see rollover effects.
