Design Inspiration #6

22 October, 2013

Welcome to the 6th installment of the Design Inspiration series, a regular selection of recent sites that have caught our eye for their aesthetic and technical brilliance.

Site 1: truebarbecue.com

On a recent trip to Leeds I discovered "Red's True Barbecue". I was very impressed with the food, so decided to check out their website to see if they had any other locations. Unfortunately they don't, however they do have a good website. It has a nice graphic style and is also responsive. If you are ever in Leeds city centre & love BBQ food, you should check it out.

Site 2 - Alkopedia

Alkopedia is an interactive tool where Swedish 13-15 year olds can learn more about alcohol (this is a link to a version in English). I really like the illustration style and I think it's an effective way to educate teenagers.

Site 3: google.com/trends/hottrends/visualize

This is a cool visualization of the latest hot searches on Google. You can select up to a 5x5 grid and view searches from the whole world, or searches from 12 individually selectable countries.

Site 4: gomacro.com

GoMarco produce natural energy and protein bars. I really like how they have used product & ingredient images, combined with a wooden background texture. It matches their brand and company values well. The site also has an unusual navigation, that unfolds the site horizontally.

Site 5: hioscar.com

Oscar is an American health insurance company. Their website is responsive and has a nice clean style that works beautifully on large desktop screens and mobile devices alike.
