The Karastan Showroom web site caught my attention. I’m always on the lookout for sites that utilize video in a good way. This is one of those. They used a bluescreen to capture video and put it over nice backdrops. This site is doing a lot of things really well, and one of them is…

Stumbled upon the TripKick.com web site last night and thought it looked pretty cool. I like the logo and clean design.

Ran across (get it) the FiveRuns web site this evening. Thought it was really nice, and the illustrations really make it.
Threadless Email Confirmation
The order confirmation email that Threadless sends its customers is really nice. It’s just the facts and they didn’t try to do anything fancy. All emails should be like this.
Ambient Devices
After the success of Tom’s other projects in which he has coded systems to control temperature I offered to buy one of these Orb’s so we could see when people access our web site. That lasted a few minutes until we discovered that the Orb actually doesn’t connect to anything besides a wireless data network…
Warpspire’s spiral

Yes! I’m dying to know what company/person designed his website. It’s gorgeously done. Logo is killer as well. Someone tell me!!!

Stu, if you take it off it leads to a splash page with a video.
Obama’s new website was created by a guy named Scott Thomas. He’s the head of a Chicago-based design studio: http://simplescott.com
Great post Chris. All of Obama’s materials are extremely well designed. Even his events are well considered with banners and phrases perfectly placed to fit in the frame of the camera when he gives a speech, it’s impressive.
If you look at the portfolio on http://simplescott.com, none of them compare to Obama’s site. So my two theories are either the simplescott.com team worked with another company/team or this is a breakthrough site (read: first) for their company with a great design.
