Zune Rocks! – the website

As it is explained in the title – Zune design rocks. Zune website design rocks! And I must tell you that I’m not a fan. I don’t have a Zune or an iPod. I’m not into portable mp3 or whatever. I just like that design.

In the early days, Zune.net had a pretty good design also. But this one is even better. The pages are simple and clean with no additional or decorative graphics(frilly bits). I like the fact that the images are big and that every visitor can receive the proper message. Also, the headings or categories are wrapped-up in a box container with a strange big padding in the top area – which gives the section a light and at the same time filled air.

One of the things that I like most is the gray color used in this design. That is because from my point of view, gray is the most powerful visual element from the color spectrum. Used correctly it can boost your design but at the same time, gray can ruin the final composition. In this case, it was very clever used and the final effect is as you can see – pretty good one.

This is by far, in a world of “grunge hand-drawn” and web 2.0 designs, a fresh air of innovation. Kudos for the designers!
