Recently redesigned, Sagmeister’s new website features a live overhead webcam of their New York office. The navigation for the site is pasted on the floor allowing users to click on them while people in the studio can be seen walking across it throughout the work day.

While it might not be the most accessible site out there, it definitely wins in the attention grabbing department.

Designing the interface for the Tim Hortons mobile app was an interesting challenge. It’s one thing to design specifically for only one device (such as the iPhone), but it’s a whole different story designing for multiple mobile devices. More »

Here’s a Tip! 
Make sure your portfolio has lots of good references to web design specifically. While we do appreciate portfolio’s with amazing print work, knowledge in the web design industry will get you the job.

When we design interfaces, we start on paper with a really rough sketch (usually with a Sharpie). The low resolution, thick-point sharpie forces us to focus on big picture ideas — the lines — instead of all the little details that just don’t matter yet.

However, when we sketch something on paper, there’s a three step process to share it with the rest of the team. First, we sketch. Then we scan. Then we either email or upload to Campfire. And since we often use huge pieces of paper, scanning is a bit of a hassle. There’s just too much overhead to share a quick sketch.

So when the iPad came out we knew we had to make a very simple sketch app that mimicked our paper and a sharpie process, but improved on the sharing part. That’s where Draft comes in.
