There are some industries that really shine when it comes to web. The way they showcase their products and important user flows are super well crafted. I remember seeing the Warby Parker site and their purchase flow and I was blown away. I wished booking a fly was that cool. The cool thing about that was that it pushed the industry. Now you see others paying more attention and of course spending more of their budget in design, especially UX/UI. I believe that's the case of the Clearly project shared by Diogo Akio. He worked with the Huge Toronto on the redesign of Clearly.ca.
I love how clean and organized the design feels. It's simple minimal but it really highlights the glasses. The design also renders beautifully on mobile and tablet screens. I also really like the subtle shadows on hovers and other little details. Below you can see some of the main screenshots.

As part of the design process, figuring interactions (to me) is the fun and best part. Some of the developers might hate me for saying this but it's a great way to make your site more alive than just a flat UI. But it's also not an easy task!
We talked and posted a lot of visual design references that we believe are the new trends for 2016. The Abduzeedo blog is a good example with some of the styles for typography, especially vertical orientation texts on the sides, a lot of white space and a non-uniform grid.
I have been a fan of Nina Geometrieva for quite a long time. We featured some of her projects here in the past, mostly illustrations like the "What Space Really Looks Like" or "Expired Shapes". However she has been focusing more on UX/UI projects.
This other nice redesign concept for a huge brand. This time Netflix was the target, a designer from Portugal called Pedro Cortés, made a nice work.
