Design, uninterrupted #27
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.
Design, uninterrupted #26
Today’s post highlights the design of StrangeNative.com by Russ Maschmeyer. The saturated yellow color used as the background fill is offset by subtle gradient transitions using darker yellow towards the edges; an extra background layer of texture noise and random smudges adds a welcome relief as well. Strong red reinforces the vibrant choice of colors – it is used as the link foreground color and throughout the various visual elements in the site header, logo and sidebar. The portfolio slideshow embedded in the main page features an attractive layout that highlights the design itself, as well as Russ’s role in the project.
