#23Neat experiment, but this is not good design. Design is about solving problems. A menu is suppose to help you to quickly find and get to a specific section of your site. Why do I have to click on a thing to reveal the menu even though on my laptop there is enough space to show it all? And then I have to move my mouse all to the other side of the screen? Who is this for? Nothing wrong with experimenting with CSS, but…
> Who is this for ?
This effect imitates a spotlight, which is cited on the page and quite relevant for a company in the arts domain

#26Wrt to the remarks about this being bad design: not everything is meant for (immediate) usability. Sometimes, a web page functions or doubles as marketing material.
And there's more than "minimal number of interactions" functionality. People generally like good looking stuff. While it may be superfluous, it may feel more pleasing than yet another dark gray text on a light grey square. It may even help remembering navigation, since it's easier to remember deviating design.

#28As expected, this doesn't work with non-standard browser window sizes and is butchered on mobile in horizontal mode.
But since the original implementation is also broken, I guess that's OK?
We really have a low bar for quality these days. I hope this won't be used anywhere that's relevant.

Iventions site is clearly a showcase and uses maximalism, which is most definitely a design philosophy. Design may about solving problems, but the fact that you feel entitled to think that you know the problem that Iventions is trying to solve, and also that they are doing it wrong is very presumptuous.
Not presumptuous. All based on doing enough usability testing to understand that time and time again people get confused if you try to reinvent the wheel or trying to be fancy when it comes to navigating around your site. Stick to best practices.
That's all.

#30one thing i dislike about "good design" in general is that it usually takes away from information density and practical convenience in order to achieve "good design". this feels like a bad tradeoff. i wish that designers cared about making things more accessible and delightful rather than impressing fellow designers.
which in itself makes it a bad design in the first place. Because first and foremost it has to be functional.
