Web Design: Beautifully Designed Home Pages
Matt Wojtaś shared a set of beautifully design website home pages and shared on his Behance profile. I believe most of the work was done as a concept and personal exercise, however, there's a lot to love about them, especially the editorial design look precisely translated to web design. I particularly, like the way typography and imagery superimpose each other. I know it would be very hard to be able to make it work dynamically and without a highly curated photo selection, still, it looks great. Another thing I like about some of the designs is the way he played with colors. He creates a good division of content by breaking the screen into sections. Again, I'd love to see how they would scale to different screen sizes. For more information about Matt make sure to check out his website at wojtas.co Web design
Web Design Inspiration: SOLID
Slava Kornilov shared a beautiful web design project on his Behace profile. It features not only the visual design but also well crafted motion design studies. I love the overall design solution from the grid system to the imagery and typography. This style has become quite popular lately and it will definitely influence the design of the new Abduzeedo site. In addition to that this project was created for Geex Arts.

Web Design Concept for National Geographic
Andriy Bata shared a very stylish web design concept for the National Geographic web site. It features pretty trendy style, with a clear grid system and very minimal. The imagery provided by the topics that National Geographic covers makes things a bit easier. Overall it's a nice study of web design, but in my opinion it fails on very important aspects, especially accessibility. Some texts feel just too small and with very little contrast from the background. I think any web designer out there should have the duty to create experiences for all and if you take in consideration that the tools and technology allow us to do that, we should not sacrifice function for the form.

Stylish Motion and Web Design by Nikoloz Ergemlidze
Nikoloz Ergemlidze is a designer based in Paris,France. He has shared some beautiful web design projects on his Dribbble page. They feature not only great visual design but also clever motion design ideas. For me what it's interesting about his work is that it adopts elements and style of what I consider the newest trend in web design. It's highly editorial, with a rigid grid with elements well organized to create almost a poster like visual.

Web Design: Super Stylish Free Template
I remember when I started my design career in Brazil in the 90s and one of the biggest challenges, if not the biggest was to find good resources. There were imported magazines like HOW and catalogs we would request from Emigre, T-26 and FontFont. But for web design things were even more scarce. The internet changed everything and with that we now have access to a plethora of resources. In addition to that, everyone can become a creator. That's the case of the MI Talent - Free PSD Template that Tran Mau Tri Tam and Mass Impressions shared on their Behance profile. It also got featured on Dribbble. The reason? It's just awesome as you can check out in the images below.

Playful Web Design & UI/UX for Superlative Store Concept
We are taking a look at the concept by designers Stugbear and Shota Xaxaleishvili on a store concept called: Superlative. They have worked on the web design, UI/UX and also the interaction design. The desktop experience is clean and I love the interactions especially on the menu. It totally enhances the shopping experience. One thing though, I wouldn't see this concept work for a fashion brand because the overall experience might be long for some but it's quite playful which is always inspiring to note. There is also the concept of the filters which are nice, this direction makes it even more clear and it reduces the number of clicks for the user.

Daniel Tan share a beautiful web design project on his Behance profile. It's for his personal website and portfolio. It features a simple layout with a good usage of typography and motion design.

Web Design Inspiration for the Week
We tend to focus most of our efforts on mobile design because, we carry those devices with us all the time and it is probably the first experience we will have with most of digital content. However I feel that the desktop web design might come back stronger, at least in terms of design. I have seen beautiful designs coming from sites like Dribbble and Behance. The biggest constraint the web has is the monetization. Till today the best way to do that is by including advertising on the pages. Those can add clutter and break the purity of the designs. I'd love to propose a challenge for who design the best concepts that include ads. Maybe that could be the next ABDZ challenge, what do you think? For this post I will share some web design concepts I captured during my daily visit to Dribbble. Check out and see if you can spot a new emerging pattern. Web design

Now give it a try, I will do the same. Project Description Hello! My name is Slava Kornilov - I'm a creative director at Geex Arts company. I have received a lot of offers to work together on my FALLER project. A distinctive feature of the project is the use of vertical placement of text and layout. This time I have prepared a much more interesting project - SQUARE, which uses the idea of a square interface. To develop and implement the idea, I decided to propose to finalize this presentation together with you. The rules of participation are simple, you have to download the grid, make a cool design and send it to my e-mail v.kornilov@geex-arts.com.

Web Design 2018 Trends - Part 2
Continuing my series of posts trying to illustrate the state of web design. For this post I highlight more designs that adopt what it seems to be a new trend. As I mentioned before, this new style feels super editorial. It has a clear grid system and, based on the static designs, makes good usage of the scroll. Vertical height and space is quite generous, which in my opinion, is great. I still have a few questions on how to translate some of these designs to fully working products. How would they adapt if the proportions and spacing change, even if for a tiny bit, like the first one on this list. Those are the challenges designers facing when working on any web design project. At the end of the day, simplicity always wins :) Web design showcase
Web Design 2018 Trends - Part 1
The cool thing about following websites like Dribbble and Behance, especially Dribbble, is that you can see the direction the visual design community is going. For the past 10 years we have seen photo-realistic icons being the main theme, then it evolved to lettering, vector illustration and for the past couple of years the site has definitely focused on UI/UX. Web design is part of that and I have been collecting images for posts to illustrate a new trend in web design. Below you can see what I am talking about. To summarize, it's highly editorial, simple and in my opinion looks amazing. The only question I have is how does that work with fully responsive websites. The more complex the layout is hight the number of edge cases you will have. At least from my short experience. Web design
