Design's in the Details

It is easy to forget that the websites that appeal to us are created by individuals or groups of individuals.  Everyday online, we see hundreds of pages that people have poured their hearts and souls into.  


I stumbled upon Visual Republic, a company who specializes in web design as well as other marketing functions.  This collaborative's slogan is "We're a little obsessed with the details."  After taking a look at their visual resume, I agree!   

Out of all the work associated with Visual Republic, I like their own website the most.  It has a vintage feel along with organization akin to that of an infographic.  Being a person who loves infographics, this style really appeals to me.  I like that they used a simple color scheme for consistency. 

I’d imagine one of the most challenging aspects of designing sites professionally would be balancing the style of your firm along with the style of your clients.  For example, the work done by Wailing Woo looks very similar to the company’s own site, while the work for Streamline Media takes a different approach to website design.  As a designer with a passion for a more quirky style, I think it would be difficult to design something with a serious look.  The fact that Visual Republic can design such a broad range of websites indicates their professionalism and attention to detail.  I think that the variance in style of their work is an inspiring quality.
