Kick-ass website design of the week
It seems like more often than not restaurants don’t care all that much about their web presence. Not true with Whitmans– clean, simple, well laid-out and overall a really nice site to look at. And that Juicy Lucy…yes, please.
The Neighborhood – one badass studio in Manchester, U.K.
If I ever bid farewell to the world of freelancing from home and return to the realm of the full time, in-house employee, please oh please let it be at a studio that looks like this one. They have a pretty cool website as well. [via Herman Miller]





The ultimate recycled office space
I’ve always been a fan of recycling wood pallets for things like furniture and home decor, but Dutch advertising agency BrandBase has taken this idea to a whole new level. I have my doubts about how sustainable this actually is considering that from these pictures these pallets don’t appear to have ever been used in the first place, but nonetheless a cool concept.

Kick-ass website design of the week
From the illustrations (not just the logo, make sure you check out the footer too) to the typography to the background textures to the color scheme– awesome website, especially for a food truck. I’m liking these one page, automatic scrolling websites more and more.
3D hand drawn animated gifs
I find myself mildly hypnotized by these every time I look at them. [by illustrator Dain Fagerholm via designboom]





Brazilian street art
I love perspective street art like this (see also Stephen Doyle’s Grit or Leon Keer’s Lego Army). Maybe it’s not as difficult as it seems, but the depth precision these artists are able to achieve always amazes me. Also, why hasn’t New York embraced brightly painted alleys and building facades like so much of Latin America? [via Laughing Squid]
Kick-ass website design of the week
Big typography? Check. Bright colors? Check. Cool illustrations? Check. Footer that looks like coupons? Yes indeed. I love the web too.
Paradise Parking – Nature consuming abandoned cars
This is such a great series from photographer Peter Lippmann, and very similar to an earlier post of mine with images of abandoned amusement parks. Something about old, rusted metal stuff out in the middle of nowhere just makes for great photography. [via Feature Shoot]





Kick-ass website design of the week
Nothing too technically impressive here, just a clean, simple, visually appealing, well-designed site. If I were planning to make the move out of Brooklyn this website would almost convince me to put Greenville on my list. Perhaps it really is the perfect blend of big city excitement and small town simplicity? Living in the northeast my whole I would typically say no, no it is most definitely not– but good on you lifeingreenville.com, you’ve made me believe it just might be true.
