Jessica Hische has a remarkable gift. Her hand lettering and illustration style go, well, hand in hand.
Cleverly illustrated “Short History of Marketing” Video
Love the illustration style, typographic treatments and fluid motion and transitions of this piece. The message is quite nice too. Watch the animated video and judge for yourself.
Another slick jQuery User Interface
Here’s another slick jQuery user interface design with smooth transitions. Big fan of the silhouette of the glasses with a scrollbar for browsing the collections of glass styles. Many thanks to Faderisimo for pointing out this minimal, sophisticated example to me.

The Most Managable To Do List
Ahhh, now I see. I’m not getting anything done because my list is constantly unmanageable. This design could change my life.
Slick Navigation and UX
Brooklyn-based Carrot Creative has a unique jQuery navigation scheme that acts a bit like Flash, but its not. The navigation experience is elegant as the pages shift into focus. What really brings a smile to my face is all the attention to little details in the creative. Even a normally mundane page like “Staff” is fun to browse. The employees have their photos shot on a big, carrot orange couch. Looks like a blast to work there. Jealous.
Millenium Falcon Origami
Twitter at Capacity? Nice Illustration in the meantime.
At least Twitter has a lovely whale illustration while up while their sevice is bogged down. Everyone must be twitting holiday wishes or something!?! I can appreciate a fun, creative design to soften the blow of a delay in posting.
