Site for San Francisco International Book Club, who in their own words “writes about and distributes books related to art, design, architecture, crafts, photography and fashion as well as everyday objects.” Nice horizontal infinite scroll experience that shows the range of products. Click on one to go into more detail – love the way you see the range of images – dependent on horizontal cursor position. Lovely big type and fresh colours, with fun and fresh look and feel with an injection of personality.

Super cool and minimal portfolio for Sam Skinner an artist and designer based in the UK. Lovely emoticon based navigation – when you tap into a subject the element stays sticky. Nice offset grid and super simple interactions – feels very elegant and well thought out. Nice to see people still coming up with refreshing and thoughtful navigation and layout.

Pop up shop site, promoting the partnership with a creative agency and local designers / shops etc. Nice bit of parallax with imagery, nice type, nice small interactions. Love the way the layout is broken up with interesting segments, circles, and when you scroll to the bottom you get a nice segway then it places you at the top of the site again.

Site of Eginstill – bespoke design kitchens. The site has a simple and elegant mechanic that scrolls through the case studies – love the little progress bar along the side of the project label. There is a great effect on the images as you scroll, the mask reveals more of the image inside and moves to give a lovely sense of depth. Slick and simple the site is well crafted – lots of small details come together to make this elegant site.

Fun site for Fornasetti, Italian design house from Milan. Love the intro and the playful animations and interactivity which are dotted throughout the site. Full of personality, which is great to see – from the product slideshows where the items float past peacefully through to the animations and interactions – all injecting a sense of fun. It looks good too, love the changing colours of the background, simple and elegant layout and typography.

Site of design magazine The Great Discontent. Lovely editorial layout, large imagery and great fonts. Love the article pages, with all the various details that make it a pleasure to read. Nice considered use of white space and use of imagery. Feels super crisp and clean and well designed, with insightful and interesting content.
