New Site Design: SaveAlternative.com
Opaque Design is pleased to announce the launch of their site design for SaveAlternative.com.
Save Alternative is a radio network and online music community focused on alternative music. The goal of the site design was to present a lot of content – news, featured artists, videos, and concert listings of new and upcoming artists - in a concise format with a modern, minimalist design.
This project was especially enjoyable for us to develop, as we are huge, huge, huge alt music enthusiasts. We grew up during the rise of alternative music in the ’80s, listening to Depeche Mode, The Cure
, New Order
, The Mission
, etc. (which we listen to as much today as 25+ years ago). While some of our current favorites to crank in the office are She Wants Revenge
, IAMX
, Moving Units
, Dial M For Murder
, Veil Veil Vanish
… and well, we could go on and on…
