Creative Tempest

Showcase Of Beautiful But Unusable Websites Advertisement “Form follows function” is a widely accepted — albeit controversial — principle that most designers in a variety of disciplines have adopted since its inception at the turn of the 20th century. On the web, we commonly refer to function as usability which is the ease of use and navigation of a website in order to achieve user’s goals. In this showcase we present websites that sacrifice usability for beauty and present issues related to clutter, loading, navigation, archiving or visibility. Unfortunately, although the sites featured in this showcase are visually appealing, they are quite difficult to use.

Here’s a selection. Brusel (d’aprés François Schuiten) Space - Mapping of Space has several concepts and each has a slightly different meaning. Even in every day language a space is no a space, but maybe a space. A room might be a space, but also a square might be a space. Probably everything in between is also a space. In terms of geography the division of space as in measuring it, is very important. This is especially important for the transformation of space (reality) in to a map (abstraction).

Creative Tempest Banksy is iconoclastic. It’s hard not to see a work of graffiti done in stencil and not think of him, and that’s saying a lot. His work is simple and it is his daring and perfect wit that has made him famous, and known to many of you. We love him for making us stop, or making us laugh at some of life’s grim realities that we often ignore. News It's the start of another week in Los Angeles.

30 Awesome SVG Animation For Your Inspiration Designers used to create animations in HTML elements using CSS. However, due to the limitations of HTML elements in creating patterns, shapes, and others, they naturally turn to SVG, which offers more interesting capabilities. Working with SVG, we enjoy good browser supprot for SVG animation, and we have more ways to create new animation. You can use both the built-in SVG animation functionality or CSS3 animation (note that not everything can be done by CSS so there is still need for JavaScript). Another way is by using JavaScript engines such as GSAP or Snap. JS is good practice for creating animation.
