Intuitive Designs - Custom Web Design & Illustration Services

We are very thankful with Most Inspired blog for featuring us in his post about Weekly Top Standards. They say about us: “From the typography choices to the fabulous illustration work, this is one classy site!”.

We are flattered! Our Intuitive Designs site has been featured in the 25 Incredibly Artistic Websites ranking by Vandelay Website Design. The ranking post has selected 25 sites that effectively utilize illustration and other types of very artistic design. It’s an honor to see our work displayed amongst many other great works in web design and illustration that we’ve been admiring ourselves for a long time.

We are happy to announce that Koldobarroso.com, a web site dedicated to Koldo’s illustration and art work, is now online after several months of meticulous work.

Sometimes in life we mistake the purposes of the things we do in life and we confuse the means with the end. Naomi and I had an interesting conversation while we were walking in the mountains the other day. We were saying that we don’t think art and design are the ultimate purpose and reason why we are doing this. We think it’s just a path for deeper purposes in life. After all, our work affects what we are in more than the values that society uses to measure our success in terms of money and reputation.

I was having an online discussion the other day with some designers about taking on jobs that we don’t feel comfortable with because they are against our values. Some of these things might include web sites with content about tobacco, firearms, adult content, etc.

The story starts when I re-discovered a song from my childhood by chance: “T.S.O.P” by Mother, Father, Sister, Brother. It’s a song that became very popular in 1974 and was nicknamed as “The Sound of Philadelphia”. In the U.S. it was the soundtrack for the TV show Soul Train. OK, so I remember how much I used to like this song and how wonderful these kings of funk and groove themes with trumpets used to be. So this morning I googled the soundtrack for Lou Grant, one of my favorite TV shows ever, and I arrived at this web site: www.televisiontunes.com.

How important are fonts in web design? I would say they are essential and taking care of them will change the result of a web design 100%. When Naomi and I designed the latest version of Intuitive Designs, we decided to put extra care in the fonts we would use and give them the importance they deserve.

It’s time for renewal at Intuitive Designs! We have just released our new site redesign, the 6th version we’ve had since we started the firm more than 5 years ago. This year our lives have been changed by important events and the design of our site needed to be in accordance with them.
