2008 - The best sites of the year

fabiano — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 12:01:04 +0000

2008 was awesome and our Best Sites of the Week's series brought to us a lot of amazing trends on web design. We've featured amazing redesigns and web apps that made our lives online even better. So we've selected some of the best sites of the year in a single post. And for the next year we wonder, what will be the new innovations, and of course how can we contribute to make the web even better?

DESIGN / CSS

Jamie Oliver - www.jamieoliver.com

"When I was about seven or eight, they let me peel the potatoes and pod peas, that kind of thing. By the time I was 11, I wasn't half bad at veg prep and I could chop like a demon! A lot of the boys at school thought that cooking was a girlie thing. I didn't really care, especially as I could buy the coolest trainers with what I'd earned from working at the weekend." Jamie Oliver

Boagworld - www.boagworld.com

Among the clients of the Amsterdam based company are broadcasting companies, museums, (consumer) brands and non-governmental organisations.

The games, interactive exhibits and innovative web-tools are used, played and enjoyed in Holland and abroad.

Roxy - www.roxy.com

When Quiksilver decided to start a women's line in 1990, it was a gutsy move. The surf market has always been a fickle one. And female surfers, despite their achievements in and out of the water, hadn't drummed up nearly the notoriety nor the community that guys had long enjoyed. But great ideas always take some guts. And the company saw the untapped women's surf market as a huge opportunity. Turns out they were right.

Ad Fed - www.adfed.org

Ad Fed Minnesota. Our reputation for throwing great parties and a killer award show precedes us. Ad Fed isn't your typical professional organization.

2008 Most Beautiful HDR Images

aloa — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 12:00:17 +0000

2008 was a great year for HDR. Hundreds of blogs were posting about the new and awesome way of photographing. So did abduzeedo, we wrote lots of articles which were visited more than 2 million times. Enjoy our list of the most beautiful and most interesting HDR Images of this year.

In this year the HDR-photomapping became really huge. Why? Because its very easy to create and very powerfull. The images look incredible proffesional. For those who don't know what HDR is, I try to explain: What is HDR? HDR is the short form of High Dynamic Range, a technic that allows a greater dynamic range of luminances between light and dark areas of an image, like on the example:

Usually you take 3 shots of the same subject with different exposures. The image in the middle is presented as the normal image. The image on the left has a lower exposure value what makes it more darker and shows very light details like clouds. The image on the right has a higher exposure value than the original to point out details of darker areas. What now happens, is that all of the three shots are going to be merged together in one singel image. There are several great tutorials on the web, also on Abduzeedo, with detailed explanations. For example: How to create HDR Photos I know that you guys have made hundreds of good HDR's. So just leave a comment with a list of YOUR favourite images and post it. Here is a "Best Of"-Compilation of the most beautiful High Dynamic Range Images of the year 2008. Enjoy.
