The Sweater’s On Fire!

LOL, yeah, the background of this website is a knitted pattern and looks like the back of a nice knitted sweater. I actually like the effects added behind the logo and the navigation, it really adds a dimension to the design. The rest of the site looks pretty clean.

They could do a bit more with the logo, this is one thing that always drives me nuts… The logos, although on the web, there still needs to be more time put into the logo. It’s not just about the website design as a big picture, the logo is a project on it’s own and needs to be designed separately from the website.

Having said that, I know my logo here is not all I want it to be and I am going to spend some time developing it soon. :)

Cool Black & White Website Design

Calm combination of grays and black colors look on this web design portfolio of Justin Wagner. As you hover over the various elements on the page they come to life by lighting up with color. Various textures and lighting effects add to the beautiful design.

Fun Web Agency Site, Great Use Of Flash

How do cows and milking them links to being a web agency I have no idea but the fact that the site looks awesome there is no question. The site consists of simple colors, large fonts, lots of white space & flash animated elements and makes for a web 2.0 feel.

Kind Of A Unique Splash Page Style Website Design

I haven’t seen splash pages used on websites in a while. Hanlon Creative, a Marketing and Web Design company, does not really use a splash page on their website but the homepage is built to act like a sort of a splash page. It focuses on one project and shows the logo, or an element from the project, as the graphic background of the page and then a paragraph of text about the project off to the right of the page. A logo on the top-left and a small navigation bar at the top-right and that’s it.

Very minimalist and very clean and to the point. I really like it.

Another Awesome Looking Scene Header

Imagination enhanced photos look amazing. Here, on this one it is used as a website header, a beautiful grassy scene with planted ancient nuclear power plant cooling stacks. The shades of green look beautiful on the deep dark greenish-blue background. Very nice illustration.
