Something new for violetminded: showcasing my favourite interactive and web designs once a week.
I discovered Robyn’s music a little over ten years ago at a school dance. This Swedish pixie swept through the Top 40 lists in North America and then disappeared into seeming obscurity until 2005, with the release of Robyn.
Her style is whimsical, a little industrial chic, and a whole lot of sass. With the release of her latest album(s), Body Talk (pt. 1 & pt. 2), her website underwent a serious design change. Instead of the typical website formula of header, navigation, content, and footer, Robyn’s new site is fully interactive. Each menu can be moved across the interface, minimized, or maximized. Don’t want to see the blog? Minimize it. Move it somewhere else.
The design is surprisingly minimal, in spite of the intricate navigation. It’s bold. Seductive. It’s got punch.
J’adore.
Did I mention that I borrowed her rockin’ hairstyle?
‘Cause I totally did.
Win on all counts.

Speechless.
Actually, not really. Just talking to Kelly.

So I work for a website and do a lot with usability testing, etc. I’m TOTALLY going to check out Robyn’s site…and I am also going to resurrect some of my “mixed tapes” that have her early songs on them! Thanks for sharing!
