Like Pinterest, but not Pinterest

April 17, 2012 9:01 PM

I'm looking for more online galleries in the visual design style of Pinterest and Saatchi Online.

I'm familiar with the jQuery style that allows images to be displayed like this, but I know there are more examples; it seems like a really dominant trend for art sites, photo sites, and online galleries. I just can't... find any, now that I want to see more implementations. Argh.

All links gratefully accepted.

It seems like you just want a gallery with infinite scroll style?

No, I'm actually looking for sites that use "magical layouts" fluidly arranging both landscape and portrait images.

Thanks! One of those was a link to Fab, which was in my mental Rolodex of "Why can't I think of that site?!"

My friend Bruce was CEO of Saatchi Online - I'm sure he'll be glad to know you like the site!

As for how images are displayed, Flickr now uses a "justified" format for displaying favorites. I think this is similar to what you're after. I think you can choose any random member and view their favorites in this layout.
