Redesign

Grey Goose

New design for greygoose.com, featuring beautiful background videos, 9 locales, and 250+ cocktail recipes.

Coolest Part

Typography is more precisely vertically-spaced in this site than any I’ve ever been part of, and without pixel nudging, thanks to some clever mixins that allowed us to align to our designer’s system.

Highlights

Ambient Videos

We added background videos to the project, and this has to be one of the most soothing.

Pixel perfect typography and spacing

The designers wanted pixel perfect spacing in between fonts and imagery in this project, and I made it happen—without pixel nudging—by creating a Sass mixin that accounted for the extraneous whitespace above and below the project's fonts and automatically accounted for it in calculations.
