For years, Ariela has recorded her thoughts and ideas in a paper diary. Moving with the times, she asked Pluspurple to create a blog to allow her to capture and share her thoughts in digital form. Pluspurple developed the name and design for her film, theater and book critic blog. The name in German means literally Cityharvest. It symbolises the ideas and inspiration you can harvest from a metropolitan city such as Zürich in Switzerland. See the work
Being diagnosed with the widely unknown ‘Diabetes Type One’ is never easy, especially at a young age. As there is not much support and understanding in the media and by the people around them, the newly formed charity ‘honey’ wants to change this. They want to build a new channel to help and inform sufferers and carers about the disease. Pluspurple delivered a fresh and striking logo and corporate Identity. The CI with its bold colour scheme will stand out from the crowd, and help attract the young audience. See the work
Hopton and Furlong is a collaboration between Designer Goldsmiths Martin Hopton and Tracy Furlong. Working closely with the design team, Pluspurple was able to turn Hopton and Furlong's vision into reality; a website that reflects their own approach to design. A website with purity, simplicity and restraint, which allows the work and all its brilliant detail to shine. See the work
We are just back from organizing and managing a photo shoot in Switzerland for an optician chain. A couple of thousand photos later we were able to select some great shots for their forthcoming ad campaign. See the work
With the first few years of business behind them, 'Walde + Graf', an independent Swiss art publisher in Zürich, wanted to take their website to the next level. Pluspurple was tasked with creating a second generation bespoke CMS website that played to the strengths of the current Walde + Graf brand. The result is a beautifully designed, elegant website that has lifted the standing of the publisher, both in Switzerland and internationally. See the work

Working closely with project owner NPC Infotech Solutions, Pluspurple designed and developed the new POA website.

The website launch in May coincided with the POA's annual conference and provided its union members with live video streaming of the annual event. See the work

There are many ways to support people, groups or businesses. From giving up time and resources for free, to mentioning or advertising someone or something with the many new bookmarking tools out there. However, there is a cool alternative way of giving micro support to all these different causes. Flattr. A clever way of giving/supporting/flattering someones work or effort. With it's very simple idea but clever technical tool Flattr can be used on blogs, websites or any other web based platform which needs the help of the wider community.

Sometimes the most simple objects nicely photographed and presented are nothing short of pure beauty. This colourful duct tape tower is a good example of just that. For some more lovely designs see25.04.12 :
Want to pimp your Mac? We stumbled across this lovely website. We particularly liked the way they have presented just a few 'very small' products. The website still feels exciting and entices you to view more little "eye catchers". Check it out here. O^O

On our search for design ideas we came past the 'Our World 2.0' Blog. It struck us as one of the simplest and cleanest designs for a blog we have seen for quite some time. The high volumes of posts have been laid out well so that one can browse through them easily and dive in for more info after the break.

With the re-brand of this well established company dating back to the 1920's, a simple but striking visual language has been expertly crafted. We particularly enjoy the clean and reduced website design which echoes the similarly plain product packaging. With beautiful photos and well balanced logo, the website design steps back and lets the product do all the talking. Less is definitely more.

A lovely clean and simple website. It's from designers to designers to support the victims of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan. The website is built in a simple scroll down fashion, however still feels fresh. It even reminds us a little of the Japanese paper scrolls with the big red stamp at the end.

Not too long ago Pluspurple was able to launch the Walde + Graf website. During our research for the project, we were surprised to find so few nicely designed publisher websites. We did however stumble across the Magma website. It's not a publisher website, per se, but more of an ecommerce site. However, they still managed to create a feel and uniqueness which lots of publishing or ecommerce websites lack. You must also check out their brick and mortor stores, which we would also give a big thumbs up to.

Playing around with code and seeing what comes out when you change one or more parameters has always fascinated us here at the Pluspurple headquarters. Originally it was Flash, now there other alternatives on the market to play around with code and form. The above design was created with paperjs.07.02.12 :
The Pluspurple office needed a redesign. So, as good web designers we looked up for some digital mood boards to have some fun before taking a paint brush in hand. We came past some fun mood board tools to test our nerves. One from mydeco or an entire website just on the subject. Olioboard07.02.12 :
Having just had a meeting at the Urania Observatory in Zürich - Switzerland, we played around with Google Earth to compare the view. Not bad, indeed. Although the bridge would be quite an exciting ride on Google Earth.
