Web Design: Illustration

Following our series of web design posts, I was thinking about a nice web element that many sites have and that we've featured a lot here at Abduzeedo: illustration! We've seen a lot of it here, interviewed the artists, but never really talked about it inside web design.

Well, right now I won't talk, but show you many sites that use illustrated elements in their design. It's really great how they turn out to be... the results are pretty sweet! I hope you all enjoy my selection! Cheers. ;)

Make Website

Make Website

Designing for the web has changed quite a lot since the mobile revolution and the introduction of tablets. We designers had to start thinking not only about screen resolutions, but also sizes, aspect ratios and how everything would work in synchrony. It's a challenge because you have to design something that works really well on a landscape aspect ration but also when checked on phones and tablets, the portrait version should also work equally well. There are great examples of sites that achieve that, the Make website created by Philippe Corthout and Make Antwerp is a good example.

Web Design: Dribbble Redesign by Felipe Mendes

Web Design: Dribbble Redesign by Felipe Mendes

Here at Abduzeedo we really love a good rebrand / redesign project. We've seen the Varig redesign lately, but now it's time for a web design project, this one by Brazilian designer Felipe Mendes. He chose to take his chance redesigning Dribbble, which I must say turned out pretty awesome. Below you can see Felipe's redesign for Dribbble. What do you think about it? Would Dribbble take advantage by changing its design for something like this? I think so.

Daily UI Elements by Hezy

A great to exercise our skills and to evolve into better designers is daily practice. All the great names out there have practiced their skills and became people to look after. Hezy, a design group based in New York, started a 100 days challenge called "Daily UI Elements" in which they'll challenge you to design a certain piece of interface. Here are some examples of what they've done so far.

Web Design Concept for the Photographer Aldo Sessa

Web Design Concept for the Photographer Aldo Sessa

Aldo Sessa is a concept art direction, UI/UX and web design project created and shared by Adrián Somoza.  Aldo Sessa is a well-known photographer and artist from Argentina. With this concept project Adrian really takes advantage of the beautiful imagery to make a web site that almost feels like a museum exhibition. Super clean and simple it's a great example of web design in my opinion.
