Nice minimalistic website and interesting work by NYC based design firm 2×4.
2×4 is a collaborative group of creative directors, writers, and designers founded in 1994 by partners Michael Rock, Susan Sellers, and Georgianna Stout. With cutting-edge projects in virtually all graphic media-print, web, motion graphics, and environmental design, 2×4’s trademark approach heavily emphasizes critical thinking and research. Known for intellectual content and explorations of rhetorical meaning, many of 2×4’s projects question the nature of design and are as much about the thinking process behind each work as the finished product.

Interesting concept that solves a visual problem for non-visual people. Check out the rest of Hampus Jageland’s portfolio.
