Remixed
~ 09 January 2007 ~
Over the holiday break, CSS Remix agreed to an advertising arrangement for Authentic Jobs, which stipulated an interweb hyperlinked advertisement (known to some as a “banner ad”) would be in rotation on the home page and showcase pages of CSS Remix. I deliberately chose Remix based on the quality designs consistently featured in the showcase, and below are a few recent entries found therein.
While we’re on the topic of (re)designery…
Time.com gets a makeover in mother-wide format. They missed the golden 960 width by +50px, but who’s counting?
Derek Powazek admits he’s “too busy to maintain a site anymore.” No kidding, bro. Who isn’t? One-pagers are the new… (ugh, promised myself I wouldn’t use that ridiculous phrase anymore)
Colleague John Dilworth relaunches, and it’s a pleasure to behold. Nice one, John.

Veer: Visual Elements for Creatives.Stock photography, type, and killer tees. Genuinely recommended by Authentic Boredom.
I just can’t keep up with the tons of creativity these days. The priceless linkage, much appreciated. Thanks ;)
I’m really happy to see TIME.com go to a cleaner design with more whitespace and a bit less “stuff” on the homepage. I think this could be pushed further, but at least it’s a positive improvement. Here’s hoping for a trend in online editorial design!
Time mag is looking good, besides that ugly mug of Maguire…poor guy looks like a Marti-Gras float.
That Snagt site is some seriously top notch creative. I love design-around-hand-art, creating new-art.
Time could use more of Roger Black’s help. It looks too borrowed from the many magazine online redesigns that have come before it.
Derek’s new “page” is hot, it’s like a giant Wurman poster.
I like what Derek’s done - but the faded-down text is too faint in my opinion - making it tricky to read (and I’m lucky to have good eye-sight!) Maybe he could re-think that part of it.
John has made a great effort with his site, (love the use of colour especially) - but I don’t think there’s enough to bring me back to his site on a regular basis…aside the posts themselves of course. What I mean is that he might need to make it more sticky.
Time.com - I wonder if they’ve borrowed talent from the CNN crew because some of CNN’s new stuff is similar to this too…really great improvements all-round.
p.s. Don’t look at my own site right now - I’m stuck in ‘TXP Default template limbo’ while I redesign Version 3.0!!!
I have to say that from top to bottom, djin.se is very hot. I’m a sucker for clean product shots!
Snagt.net - great design.
