25 Clean Web Designs for Inspiration

When it comes to the style of a website’s design there are all kinds of options. Part of having an effect website involves having a design that helps to prioritize the right content and elements on the website, which results in users/visitors pay more attention to those important elements.

One of the best ways to control the parts of the website that will get the most attention from visitors is to remove things that are unnecessary and might cause a distraction. In recent years the minimalist design approach has drawn a lot of attention, especially from designers who appreciate the beauty of simplicity. However, designing a website to avoid clutter and distractions doesn’t mean that it has to be completely minimal with very few images and visual elements.

In this post we’ll showcase 25 sites that use a clean layout and design, eliminating unneeded clutter. Some of these sites are more minimalistic than others, but they all showcase the power of a clean design.

Mall of America Identity gets Redesigned

For it’s 20th anniversary, the Mall of America recently unveiled their new identity in order to reflect their position as a curator of pop-culture.

Taking up the challenge in creating the new face of Mall of America is Duffy & Partners, a branding and design agency based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. They were asked to create an identity that will reflect Mall of America’s iconic and bold American image. The new vibrant identity now conveys the spirit of American ingenuity, energy and excitement. Duffy & Partners redesigned the identity, environment, promotional merchandise, website, social media pages and interior branding.

The agency redesigned the old American star of MOA to incorporate fashion, entertainment, cuisine, thrills and community. Each element is presented with a color and each of these colors intersect with one another. The end result is a fresh, exciting and diverse image that represents what the services of the mall. The mall also has other color variations like Pink for Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, silver and gold for the holiday season, and red, white and blue for Independence Day. Apart from the new identity design, the Mall of America sports a new tagline: “Always new.”

In Mall of America’s blog, Maureen Bausch the vice president of business development said: “Mall of America is never static. Our challenge was to create an identity to reflect the dynamic experience of MOA. Far more than a logo, Duffy designed a ‘living’ brand with the ability to evolve as Mall of America grows…always new.”

You! Be Inspired! – World War II Illustrations by Weston Emmart

Most of us have a memory to treasure about our grandparents. It can be in a form of crazy stories or humble life lessons that best describe their life well spent. Redditor MightyTanaka, remembered his grandfather Weston Emmart, a World War II veteran through a series of illustrations done during the war and sent back to his family. His grandson shared the images via Imgur and became viral just in time for yesterday’s US Memorial Day.

Drawn as cartoons in an old sketchbook, the illustrations depict the life and adventures of an American soldier during the war. The humor and some side notes on every page by the late war veteran in the whole collection made these drawings a piece of treasure for the family. Take a look at some of the drawings below:
