Join Us For The 2019 AIGA Conference + Design Week Portland

This week, AIGA (American Institute of Graphic Arts), is hosting it's annual Design Conference in Pasadena, CA. With over 90 speakers and big name brands (e.g. Adobe, IBM) attending, there will be lots to cover. We're excited to see Roman Mars - the creator of the popular design podcast 99% Invisible - host this year's conference.

Speaking of design conferences, this week's .design site spotlight was inspired by a great connection we made last year at Adobe Max. Check out seamlesscreative.design below to learn more.

.DESIGN SITE SPOTLIGHT

This week's .design Site Spotlight goes to...

seamlesscreative.design

We were at the Adobe Max Design Conference last year, when Brandon Reader introduced himself and visited our booth. We started to explain the purpose of .design and he mentioned that he already had one! After pouring a lot of time and soul getting it to look and function the way he envisioned, he reached out to share it. And wow, the result, seamlesscreative.design, did not disappoint! This is a great website to learn from in terms of clearly communicating the types of design you can offer. The navigation of the site makes it easy to check out past projects or contact Brandon. And the dark grey, futuristic headers contrasting with the white background below the fold on each page help create a visual continuity throughout the site.
 

Have a .design site you'd like to nominate? Let us know and we might feature it in the next .design digest.
