Great design. Great music. Awesome hair.

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.

Behold the hotness!

J’adore.

Did I men­tion that I bor­rowed her rockin’ hairstyle?

Cause I totally did.

Win on all counts.

Speechless.

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!
