Amazing designs 😊
I am gathering cool references for my own work as a Motion Designer, and this one caught my eye this week.
Day 3 of 60-days-collecting-awesome-motion-design-references
I love the way this is designed, based on abstract shapes and concepts with a coding visual language that we are all already familiar with. This is a great reference in this modern era where we deal more and more with products and services that live on the internet, not on a physical product.
This animation was created by Odd Fellows in collaboration with Figma.
60 days of references is a serious commitment. Curious, are you mostly drawn to the same visual language each time, or does it shift a lot depending on the day?
Keystone - HR Management Platform
Employee list screens are the homework assignment of SaaS design. A table is a table is a table. Nobody's winning an award for this view and that's exactly why it matters.
The restraint here is the point. No colored tags, no status badges fighting for attention, no dashboard widgets crammed into the sidebar. Just the data, breathing in a dark container with enough row spacing that your eyes don't blur at record five.
That split between a bold brand identity and a restrained product UI is one of the hardest things to get right in B2B SaaS.

"A table is a table" is the harder argument to make internally than the design itself - most teams would've shipped colored status tags just to have something to show in a review.
