Web Shout: Retrokid.com!!!

Retrokid.com, oh you've never been?

This site blows my mind. Like some sort of twisted Mondrian homage (reappropriation?) retrokid.com is a magnificent ode to color. If you are not prepared to have your mind blown DO NOT VISIT THIS SITE!















Perhaps toying with the classic Mondrian imagery by inverting the black lines with white and adding a soothing shade of green Retrokid.com is deliciously witty.

But what gives you the right to mention this site in the same breath as Rock N Jocks, you ask?

This site is a testament to simplicity: Containing four colors (pictured) and the word "Go" (albeit only when scrolling over the header) only reinforceS the unpretentiousness it revels in.















Aside from it's simplicity Retrokid.com is interactive allowing the user to click on any color on the site and it'll directly link you to a larger version. A B.O.P. favorite is the red section.

More importantly.

You had to Google guides to taking a screen cap.

And left the window open to be caught red-handed.

Niiiiiice.
