Soulwax/2manydjs

The alternative rock band Soulwax (also knew as the mashup patriarchs 2 many DJ’s) shows in its web space how a problem like the one seen in the last post could be used to extend the originality purpose of an horizontal site, playing with vertical scrollbars, widths and both text and images content. Very unusable, […]

Japi Honoo

Although is build with a nested table layout, the site of the designer Japi Honoo shows well one of the main problem (1,2) of the horizontal way: every section has a fixed width an height, so if the text inside is taller than the container an uneasy vertical scrollbar is displayed on the right.

Tentacle Eye

Like the other portfolios already seen, Tentacle Eye is a (french) long collection of artworks and photoes with same height and different width placed side by side in a nested table layout.

The gallery is accompanied by another frame on the top that […]

Sonido

Eolo Perfido

Eolo Perfido is a good example of how the horizontal layouting can help photography to show its best in the web world. Portfolio’s pages displays a series of equal height and equal width phographaps inserted side by side in table layout, and includes a simple menu on the left to switch over the other horizontal […]

Dmitry Kirsanov Studio

The Dmitry Kirsanov Studio’s website – horizontal version born in 2002 – represents its contents with an old nested table layout divided horizontally in two parts: in the part below a title and image represent several projects, in the part above a small text completes the description. In some page, like “Our offer” these paragraphs […]
