Jude Buffum is an artist that uses an outdated graphic style to create a unique product. His site does not fail to show that as it has a squared theme across the whole site. Upon opening the site you are welcomed to a short flash, which is pretty neat. The typeface is a very clear one and itself is a very square based typeface which adds the the sites effect. The hierarchy is also very simple, usually only being two or three ranks. The simplicity of the site also is a reference to how simple pixel are. The navigation is also a simple in the top right. The color choice of the type and bars are very neutral or flat, which also the icons for his works pop more. This allows the viewer to focus in on the work rather than the sight.
His works are separated into categories (when needed), and keep the square pixel feel. When you click into a piece of work it brings you to a detail page. In this detail page the bar for the category moves to the bottom of the page and maintains its order. The other images also dim out, while in this mode of page.
This site is basically a portfolio of Jude's work and how you can contact him from work. This gold of this this is, as said before, the overall cohesion. Everything in the square format, and simple all aspects of pixel based works. He has links to his blog and his store incase you want to buy some of his work or just follow his graphic journey.
