Created with a pallet of illustrations and graphics, Moscow event agency Citrus’ new dynamic identity system comes across as both fresh and playful. Created by Roma Erohnovich.
The only critique I have with the animated version is that the tweening could use a bit of love.

The latest Desktop Wallpaper Project submission on The Fox is Black features one of the geometric landscapes created by Timothy J. Reynolds. Check out more of his rendered landscapes on Dribbble.

Until we can get Twitter, Facebook, Google Plus, and Pinterest to sign a peace treaty and standardize on a common size for share buttons, their mismatched and unaligned buttons will continue to be a thorn in every designer’s side.
For now our best bet is to simply roll your own button with a share count for each service. Today I did a bit of digging and put together a quick Gist to get share counts using the platform’s APIs.
Check out Sharrre if you want a jQuery plugin that covers all the share buttons and much more.
“The quality of your UX shows how much your respect or disrespect your customers”
Last week while we were in NYC for Behance’s 99% Conference I fell in love with Visual Supply Co’s new VSCO CAM iPhone app. With minimal processing options VSCO CAM does a great job emulating the film styles for the likes of Kodak Tri-X, Fuji Superia, Ilford HP5 and many others. Here are a few shots I captured while exploring the city. Follow me on Instagram for other examples.
Congrats to Matthew Buchanan, Mike Harding and team on launching Letterboxd to the public!
Letterboxd is a social site for sharing your taste in film. Use it as a diary to record your opinion about films as you watch them, or just to keep track of films you’ve seen in the past. Rate, review and tag films as you add them. Find and follow your friends to see what they’re enjoying. Keep a watchlist of films you’d like to see, and make lists about any aspect of film, for example: favorite heist films. Import historic data from several popular apps, and add films to your US Netflix instant queue directly from the site.
To top it all of the design and user interaction is beyond beautiful.

Origin West is our first theme to include the user’s Instagram feed. In order to access the user’s feed they will first have to authorize your application (in this case, a theme). Check out the Instagram developer site for their oAuth details.
I have seen a few themes put together a Tumblr static page to send the authorization request as well as return the access token, but we simply put together a quick page at stylehatch.co/instagram.
We’re working on setting up the Style Hatch Github account where we are planning our process as well as a few other jQuery plugins that we use, like our resizable custom photoset grid.
Our 16th Style Hatch premium Tumblr theme is finally live! With Origin West theme I set my well-worn creative hat to the side and put on my developer hat to bring Nick Jones’ design to life. With a highly unique layout (responsive too with a mobile version), high contrast and lots of animating details who knows if it’ll be a popular theme but I certainly had a blast developing it. Check out the demo site at originwest.stylehatch.co!
One of the beautiful things about designing products rather than servicing clients is how you have complete freedom to take on the experimental and challenging projects. We could probably make far more money by focusing on popular design trends, quickly cranking out more themes or skipping the details, but to be honest we’re having way too much fun releasing themes with lots of love and attention.
If you have any questions about the theme send us an email at originwest@stylehatch.co or a tweet @stylehatch.
