Interface Design: Login/SignUp

Interface design in websites focuses on the user’s experience and interaction. Where as traditional graphic design seeks to make the object or application physically attractive. Goal’s of user interface design is to make the user’s interaction as simple and efficient as possible. Where good graphic/industrial design is bold and eye catching, good user interface design is to facilitate finishing the task at hand over drawing unnecessary attention to itself. Graphic design may be utilized to apply a theme or style to the interface without compromising its usability. The design process of an interface must balance the meaning of its visual elements that conform the mental model of operation, and the functionality from a technical engineering perspective, in order to create a system that is both usable and easy to adapt to the changing user needs.

The following inspiration is focused on Logins/Signups in Web Design. I was doing research on login forms and thought the community could put this to good use and seek tips / design from these examples. My absolute favorites are Big Cartel, Vimeo, Gist & Status for it’s sleek design and beautiful interface.

    Nicely compiled list as always. I really like the branding of GoodBarry. I saw them at FOWA a month or so ago with their tin boxes. Ha awesome!

    Some nice examples, a lot of web 2.0 sites there but I guess that’s all the rage. I’m a big fan of really big fat spacious input boxes like on Gist, Pattern Tap and Hahlo.

    On the subject of login/signup forms, Smashing Magazine published some great posts a few months back, definitely worth checking out:

    Unblab, Veritocracy & Gist have really impressive login page. The login page design is sometimes overlooked. The login or signup page some times gives the first impression of what are inside. Hence impressive & creative design of the login page for your site or application is really important.
