DART St. Louis (Site of the Day - Sep 17, 2011) — UI design breakdown

In April 2011 over 250 creative St. Louisans gathered to throw darts at a huge map of the City of St. Louis. Participants then had one month to visit the area where their dart landed and make a photograph. The resulting collection of photographs shows a snapshot of St. Louis as it is today, one random block at a time. Sourced from Awwwards. Use this page as a UI breakdown: reverse-engineer hierarchy, color roles, and interaction cues before you remix ideas into your own screens.
