An unused design for a large technology company homepage.
about 2 years ago
I like the transparency at the edges of the cloud.
+1 on the transparency.
That's all in illustrator, it's really hard to achieve but they wanted it like the "MobileMe" cloud...
maybe calls for a tutorial on your blog?
+1 cloud transparency :)
Also, we're trying yo settle on a tag for unused designs. "airball" or "rejected" or something. Would be excellent to pull all of these together.
@Dan I "airball" fits in with more of the brand, or maybe "double dribble"
Airball implies it was a problem with the person making the shot.
For this to be rejected, clearly the basket was broken.
Think its better to make this a support thread as its not fair to hijack Sarah's post of some lovely work.
Don't mind me... carry on regardless! :)
this is no 'brick', it's a three-pointer.
This is gorgeous! I was hoping Google had hired you to redesign the Google Apps homepage. You should post this as an unsolicited redesign.
Lovely work. You've got a great eye for the detail.
Thank you for all the kind comments. The design that got used was no where near as nice as this, almost, dare I say, bland.
Love this design, and having seen the final one I agree this is, visually, more compelling. Maybe the chosen design was a better fit for the companie's intended image? (trying to be positive ;-)
This is amazing.... I am really sad it never saw the outside air. :(
For what reason was this unused. It is brilliant Sarah! +10 on Transparency (Makes it look so slick)
Beautiful work, shame that it was turned down - I guess great design goes to heaven and bland design goes everywhere Sarah!
