Ksubi.com: Heavily inspired by google

Ksubi.com: Heavily inspired by google
Ksubi.com

They say ‘Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery’, but I am not sure what google feels about the new Ksubi.com website design which looks just like their famous minimalist design.

What I notice instantly is that Ksubi is a fashion label and the look and feel of a search engine just doesn’t work for them. I am sure they already knew this and are just doing the whole thing for a publicity stunt.

The Ksubi website is designed and developed by Reactive which is an interactive agency with offices in Melbourne, Sydney and London. They did a very good job in resembling google!

All this reminds me of a freelance web design and development project I did a year or two ago for a client who requested a website redesign that looks just like Windows Vista Media Center Edition. The client, by the way, is one of those talented people who is full of great ideas.

Advertisements are delicious

If you are a fan of advertisements, you might appreciate this website I came across while searching for nice looking online advertisements. The tag line says ‘World’s Tastiest Collection of Online Advertising’, and you can browse the advertisements by brands; for example: all apple ads, all google ads, all American Apparel ads.

Cappuccino, anyone?

Lokesh Dhakar has done an amazing illustration on a few common espresso drinks. I am a coffee person and his illustration is just too cute not to share.
