Friday Focus 09/23/11: The Dip

Happy Friday Focus! Today we’re looking at designs with a bit of a “dip” in them—one content area leading into another with a nice little curve. Can you spot them? Read on!

Friday Focus 02/04/11: Realism

This week’s picks feature engrossing environments with stunning details and interactions. Design imitating real life is one of the oldest tricks in the book, but never goes out of style.

Friday Focus 07/30/10: Centered Seals

Sites usually place logos at the top left corner of the page, but nudge them to the center and it makes quite an impact, as a red wax seal does on a white letter envelope. Let’s check out sites with centered logos on this week’s Friday Focus.

Friday Focus 06/18/10: Layered Screens

Showing screenshots of websites on websites isn’t terribly exciting in theory, but let’s see how these designs dealt with it.

Friday Focus 05/14/10: Icon Parade

This week’s Friday Focus will tackle websites for a designer’s best friend: icons. Icon sites have been around for the longest time but we’re seeing a lot of sites pushing the envelope in interface innovation, both with their offerings and the website designs they’re found in. The latest trend so far? Websites created for a single icon set—now that’s a great way to promote work.

Friday Focus 10/23/09: Enjoy the View

This week on Friday Focus: websites that will make you want to get in the car or on a plane and head to these exquisite destinations. At least we can enjoy their views from within our own browsers!

It doesn’t happen a lot on Friday Focus, but this week we have a bunch of websites featured, all dressed up in brown.

Friday Focus 11/21/08: Focus

Friday Focus 09/05/08: Blue

This week on Friday Focus: the most popular color on the planet, blue. After the immense popularity of green (and pink?) during the Web 2.0 wave, it looks like web designs are going back to everyone’s favorite color. And we have a bucket full of examples to prove it.
