Styleboost: Inspiration for webdesigners

Yeah, I know this guy. I have seen his stuff once before. It’s excellent. Ilustrations are very well done, but they reminds me of “the Incerdibles” movie. And design stuff as logos remind me of work of Scott Hansen - http://www.iso50.com . I don’t speculate about anything I just think it’s quite wired :/

I don’t know if it happened just with me but this site doesn’t like Firefox very much…

It looks great in Firefox 2 on my XP install.

Wow, what a great site…inspiring.

#1 - I can see the relation you made to S. Hansen; although, that shouldn’t deter you from enjoying this site. It’s art mate.

Great Illustrations!

I’m a huge fan of textures, and he pulls it off perfectly. I love this site, definitely getting bookmarked. Great job.

I wish I could view the site… looks like they weren’t prepared for the traffic…

Site is beautiful, sure. Yet, IMHO, it could benefit from different kind of markup code, or, maybe, flash instead of all that’s written inside pages.
Concerning compatibility:  it worked perfectly for me in FF 2.0 and FF 1.5

This one is for sure among my “greatest hits” collection.  Im amazed by the work and detail!!

I don’t understand why people are discussing the fact it is inspired from x or y site. We could also say that most iso50 stuff is fairly inspired from vintage http://www.bitlounge.net/retrolounge/ stuff. 
That we should say for both sites is that these guys really choose deluxe colors.

The thing I enjoyed with hellofreaks remains it add a new dimension to these vintage and comics influences thanks to his illustrator abilities.

It works fine for me in Firefox.
I also don’t understand why it bothers some people that the style of Hellofreaks work is similar to ISO50.. they are both original and stand out for their uniqueness.
There are so many designers which works are within the same style and
yet there isn’t much stuff out there that reassembles ISO50’s and Hellofreaks style because it certainly isn’t possible that many people have such talent.
This is beautiful art. Nice one.. :)

Sofia: Some people? It was only one :) So why is it bothering? - no-one said that. I said it’s wired. And why? Well… I saw a lot of sites from different designers and the best of them are all different one from another in major aspects. But these two ISO50 and Hellofreaks (who used to call himself BJ05 - hmm…Why did he change the name? http://www.byjerome.com/) have certain major aspects - as using almost the same curves in certain compositions- very similar. And if you put some of their works in one folder and show it to people who havent’t seem them before - no one would recognize that it’s from two people and not only one. And after that you want to talk about uniqueness? (http://www.merchline.com/iso50/categorydisplay.149.c.htm

That uniquness in Hellofreaks are surely there. Yeah, that is undenieble. But where is the border-line when we are talking about using style just as a fashion? And when are we talking about copying?
Both ISO50 and Hellofreaks are great graphic-designers but if they have something common (And it’s not only that retro-style) than I ask is it just an accident or ...what?

I noticed that BJ05 probably ment ByJerome 2005 and nothing more. So about that I am sorry

Someone’s gotta let them know.  It’s almost 2007—rainbows and drips are OVER.

Not at all! What’s wrong with rainbows? It’s 2007, like you said…you can do what ever you like…you’d be a bit more cosmopolitan.

I really like the oldschool inspiration, the textures and the colors they used. Great design and cool peoplez!
