Solid recent Web sites

//na//  I'm often inspired by other designers' work, so I thought I'd pass along some recent Web design finds:

  • The Levi's Copper site makes use of an interesting image & navigation structure, using one huge image as the background.  (Click Male or Female.)  Gotta love the ants. [Via]
  • With their ant-sized people, I love the section-intro cards at Baseline Selects.
  • Jonathan Yuen's site gently and beautifully unfolds to reveal his work.  [Via]
  • Ferm Living is all about subtle touches--smooth transitions, shifting backgrounds, subtle vignetting. [Via Maria Brenny]
  • VIRB is kind of a MySpace, without all the visual suckage. It looks darn nice, even down to individual member pages (like this).

Jonathan Yuen's site won the 2007 SXSW Interactive award for best portfolio site too.

[Cool--and well deserved. It's not often that I go in for "mystery meat" navigation, but in this case I think it manages to be playful without becoming obtuse. --J.]
