From Andy Steiner - Infrared.radio is for another website I run.
Capacitor Design Network
Capacitor Design Network is a trendy, cutting-edge style studio. The company started out making light Flash websites, utilizing minimalist GUI. From there, they designed the award-winning website for the award-winning program Delicious Library. This website had an incredible impact on the Macintosh GUI/Shareware community. The website was informative, but stressed form over function. This, coupled with the recent trend in eyecandy-oriented shareware, coined the term Delicious Generation, But I digress. I found their work uses powerful color combinations as well as small details that make the design really come alive. For instance, in their designs for Anon Optical Goggles, the whole goggle is a part of their design, not just the faceplate. The Strap is printed, and the design allows for integration of the Foam, not just ignoring it. If you look at their His and Hers CD, you can see all of the detail put into something that usually looks incredibly formulaic. There is so much subtle design in the rabbits and the color choice really adds to the “Victorian - era” motif. Unlike many of the modern CD cases out there, the booklet interior carries the motif as well, instead of just spelling everything out in the general Sans Serif font (usually Myriad). The CD itself is covered in the same design, and just as complex. My favorite designs, though are the OM Bassnectar and the Delicious Monster website, although the URBANRUSH website is also quite nice. I have fount that their art appeals to me because although it can be incredibly complex, the overall piece is to the point, and very quick in divulging it’s information.
