Explore the articleDesigning goofiest UI ideas
Juxtopposed recently posted a video showcasing design explorations of some pretty wild ideas, such as a watch UI for time travel, or a music app that functions like a vinyl player—where the user has to take albums from a shelf and place the vinyl on the turntable—along with ten other concepts.
We think this is a refreshing exploration in an era of minimal and utilitarian designs.

The story behind Swiss passport design
Geneva-based creative agency RETINAA was responsible for bringing the new, beautifully designed Swiss passport to life. Carl Guilhon, the agency’s founder, explained that passport designs often feel outdated, and they aimed to redefine what a Swiss document should look like in the 21st century.
The team drew heavy inspiration from the Swiss landscape: “We designed an imaginary journey along the watercourses—from the Alps, through the cantons, and out into the world.” The project is full of design details, and we definitely recommend taking a closer look at the article!
