Every month we like to inspire you with a collection of what has caught our eye on the web. This month we have a real variety pack for you because sometimes it’s hard to settle for just one flavor.

We have glossy luxury and stripped-back serenity, a healthy dose of grown-up restraint and an equally healthy dose of in-your-face attitude, some very different but equally effective ways of using color, and some interesting navigation ideas, plus just a pinch of humor.

Enjoy!

Gran Chaco

Good use of color and saturation adds richness to this site for Gran Chaco rum.

Travel World Escape

Travel World Escape makes excellent use of photography throughout its site, creating a sense of adventure and intimacy.

Barr Foundation 2020-22 Review

The softened contrast between background and text helps make this annual report from the Barr Foundation more personable. In addition, the ‘torn paper’ effect around images is an excellent detail, allowing images to be placed together as a collage.

Sixmorevodka Studio

Lots of attitude from graphic art studio SixMoreVodka. This style is tough to pull off, but this is a great example and will likely leave you smiling.

Early Adopters Hub

Friendly, clean navigation separating the two sides of the Early Adopters Hub service model makes this site easy to use. In addition, the on/off slide button is a nice little touch.

Circular Cities Barometer

Bloomberg’s Circular Cities Barometer measures how well 25 cities are changing to a circular economy. There is a lot of reasonably complex information here, but it is intelligently broken down and well presented in a clear, user-friendly way.
