The Blimp - home page
Anyone who knows me, knows that I loves the music. A lot. I recently came across this amazing personal digital project called “The Blimp”
The Blimp is a personal music catalog redesigned by Isabel Moranta and Yannis Yannakopoulos, blending user-friendly navigation with a post-rock-inspired visual style. Originally created a decade ago for personal use, it now features a dynamic platform of music releases, interviews, and videos, offering an immersive experience for users.
The redesign focuses on interconnected navigation, guiding users through albums based on label associations, artists, and release dates. A standout feature is the preloader, which briefly showcases rotating album covers without distracting from the main content. Playful touches like the super sick red scribble mouse effect add a unique, engaging element.
Moranta and Yannakopoulos chose to highlight the albums’ visual appeal rather than rely on background music, maintaining focus on the tactile and visual elements. Built in WordPress with GSAP animations, The Blimp strikes a careful balance between atmosphere and function, blending vibrant moments with a restrained, post-rock aesthetic.
Clean, minimal, simple, smart, and sexy as hell, The Blimp is a prime example of how thoughtful design can transform a niche project into an engaging experience. It captures the essence of both music and design, emphasizing the power of simplicity and intentionality to create something personal yet universally accessible.
