Kulör *up

Kulör is a small London-based web design and development agency which collaboratively produces a wide variety of client websites and applications alongside creating and managing a series of internal publishing projects.. and they have new website.

Sliding door like interface – you see a sliver of their projects. Pick one and a text box appears on the left – expanding a bit the visual but still not revealing all.

Don’t know if having to folow URL is a better strategy than showing screen captures. What do you think?

Beyond what?

Beyond what? beyond tellerrand (loosely translated means Think outside the box) is a conference about creative web design and development taking place in Düsseldorf.

3-day event with intensive workshops and 15 high quality talks for web enthusiasts: design, technique, inspiration and networking.

Upcoming: November 20-22

Expressive Web

Expressive Web Beta was developed by Adobe in collaboration with Big Spaceship with the goal of creating both a resource and showcase that highlights some of the most creative and expressive features using HTML5 and CSS3 which bring loads of new features and functionality to the modern web.

This site is a resource and showcase of some of the newest, and most expressive features being added to the web today.

Republic of Nothing

Republic of Nothing is a design studio based in Mexico City, founded in 2010 by a pair of designers, who have as a constant goal, the conceptualization and creation of consistent, memorable, effective and tailored design projects, that service the real communication needs of our clients, without leaving aside the details, the aesthetics, that make a brand something special and different.

We don’t believe in borders or language barriers.

Design is our language.

_______

Website, work, versatility, creativity, presentation and talent are all exceptional. Another of this year top portfolio. Oh did I say? Luv their logo.

Fonts of Chaos

Fonts of Chaos nice website and presentation of fonts which are available for download and free. Check it out.

Marcellini *up

Probably not the only one out there, Marcellini studio new website opens on people. Yepp. First and foremost the team is central and presented with a picture (some are quite funny) and little doodled black and white animations which characterize – my guess – each of them.

I’m impressed that such importance is given that.. On the other, no team – no clients – no projects.

The bottom part is a mumble-jumble of information – tad too smallish and perhaps not enough client works. But even the transition to it is a large doodled background.

Well original it is indeed.

_______

Llaunching their very own Marcellini Magazin – shows how confident they are in their ability for self-promo in view of garnering more client work.
