Flickity takes The Field

17 Dec 2015

The Field is a new outdoor lifestyle publication, or as founder Chris Stillitano puts it, "The Field is a place for good design and the great outdoors." It's also a great place to see Flickity in use.

The Field's beautiful photo galleries are made with Flickity. It's great to see how they've taken advantage of Flickity's customizable previous & buttons to minimally style and position them. The slide counters change on cellSelect.

The site has a keen design sense, utilizing different layouts for its various content types. So much care went into these photo galleries. Watch how images resize and center while resizing the browser, even with images of varying aspect ratios.

Fizzy bear branded

1 Dec 2015

Fizzy's got a brand new brand.

Metafizzy brand

The previous logotype was a beaut and served Metafizzy well. But it did have some issues (No fault of James' — these issues were all self-inflicted as I requested).

  • Legibility trouble: People would read "Meta fuzzy" or worse "Meta furry"
  • The two line treatment led to people spelling the name as two words "Meta Fizzy"
  • It did not reduce well. It didn't hold up at small sizes, like a Twitter avatar or favicon
