Alex Trochut - Creativity, Type & Illustration

A strong and comprehensive Flash presentation of Alex's portfolio of typography, illustration and design.

I love type and illustration. I don't chose either as a preference, but I particularly like when both are present.

Foamee

Another social and stylish endeavour from Dan Cederholm, who sure builds nice alcohol based web sites.

Beer is currency! And if you’re like us, you’re saying “I owe you a beer” often. Foamee is simply a fun way to keep track of those I.O.U.s. It can also be just a little virtual pat-on-the-back for good deeds.

The Horizontal Way

Marco Rosella's beautifully designed, marked up and recognised advocacy for horizontal Web design.

While not a fan of roll over actions and the lack of home buttons, I am impressed with Marco's generosity in providing a template download of his site and look forward to his gallery expanding.

Opera 9

Firefox

Now I'm not about to call anyone a Scab, however the page layouts for these two browser sites are amazingly similar. Notice the horizontal colour split, grey gradients, green download buttons, red and black name/version branding and background circles for computer images.

Open these two sites in separate tabs and just flick between them. The similarities go much further than the above images show.

Paint by numbers for browser download pages?
