Interaction Design & UI/UX: InSymbiosis Website
Interaction Design & UI/UX: InSymbiosis Website
And yet another Interaction Design & UI/UX for you guys today. This time is the work from Phoenix the Creative Studio based in Montreal, QC for InSymbiosis. They are a pharmaceutical company and boy we know how most of them are looking pretty boring and unfriendly. Well, it’s not the case with this one. In a universe of what is sexy, original and scientific; what I love the most about this design is the hamburger button. I know what we all think about this button but this treatment is quite genuine and playful. Worth a look!
Phoenix the Creative Studio is a studio based in Montreal, QC, Canada (Yay!). They are focusing their work into emotions, interactions; create brand experiences that engagge people. Breaking standards in the goal to connect people together.
InSymbiosis is a pharmaceutical company that assists in the development of new medicinal drugs. The company acts as a mediator between the client and the research and marketing team. Far from the austere and dull look of the medical world, we created a universe both sexy, original and scientific. We wanted a fresh and innovative website that offered a friendly vision of the pharmaceutical world. Our team, which was keen to leave behind the typical illustrations of pills, microscopes and white blouses, turned to the theme of the aquatic and microscopic universe. Numerous animations populate the website; in particular molecules and anemones created in WebGL which interact with the user in a floating movement.

Web Design & UI/UX: Bodyport Start-up
Web Design & UI/UX: Bodyport Start-up
Let’s take a look at this superb web design and UI/UX project from the mighty folks from Anagrama and their work for Bodyport. They are a San Francisco based start-up dedicated to the development of at-home cardiovascular monitoring technologies at the reach of everyone. The whole UI across the identity and web design has been made to be easy and friendly to follow. I loved the micro-interactions from the header to icons, it’s pretty neat. I personally wish there was an additional colour to balance the contrast but that might be just me. Hope you like it!
Anagrama is a studio based in Mexico City. They focus their work into branding, graphic design and packaging. We have featured their work before on ABDZ, give it a look!
The website’s objective aims to educate the user about Bodyport’s technological attributes through simple and friendly graphical representations on an informative tour. The identity system manifests around the navigation while the visual breaks and interaction strengthens the content and communication with the user.

VSCO First Mobile Presets coming to Desktop
I truly believe that VSCO changed the way we consume and share our perspective through social media, especially with photos. They are that photo editing app that is doing more just the app itself. Greatly engaged in its community, they recently launched their popular mobile presets to the desktop through various Adobe products.

A Conversation with Sammy Hagar at the 2017 SXSW Conference [Video]
“I’ve had more people in the last 10 years say, ‘Sammy I love your tequila,’ more than they say, ‘love your music’ . . . It doesn’t bum me out, but it’s weird.” – Sammy Hagar
Sammy Hagar – former frontman of Van Halen, philanthropist, best-selling author, entrepreneur, and notoriously fast driver – takes the audience on a cruise through his rock legacy and passion projects. USA Today reporter Mike Snider moderates the conversation in this Featured Session at the 2017 SXSW Conference.
“We were selling 160,000 cases of six-packs a year, if I was selling records like that I’d still be in the record business.”
Hagar’s conversation at the SXSW Conference is as diverse as the speaker’s passion projects. Rock fans will enjoy personal stories about his time in Van Halen and Montrose, and appreciate his suggestion of an all-star reunion tour. Hagar’s energy and enthusiasm are contagious, and make it easy to see how his personal projects, such as Cabo Wabo Cantina and his business Santo Mezquila in partnership with Adam Levine, have a tendency to snowball into large businesses.
Hagar is perhaps at his best when talking about the ways that his interests converge into new projects, such as his non-profit work. Hagar collaborates with Metallica vocalist James Hetfield on the annual benefit concert Acoustic-4-A-Cure. The event raises funds and awareness for The Pediatric Cancer Program at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital. Check out the Featured Session to hear more about the life and work of The Red Rocker.
Watch the video above for the full 2017 SXSW Conference Session with Featured Speaker Sammy Hagar. Get inspired by a multitude of diverse visionaries at SXSW – browse more 2017 Keynotes, Featured Sessions, Red Carpets, and Q&A’s on our YouTube Channel.
