Double-Layer Background Tiles, Beautiful Wave Background

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

Sometimes having a double-layer image background is required, whether it be to easily change one part of the background or for some other reason… Honestly, I have not figured out why exactly they did it this way but I do like the background a lot and to see that it’s a tiled background… that’s pretty [...]

Orange and Black, The New Red

Monday, January 11th, 2010

LOL, maybe orange and black, the new red is a bit pushing it but this orange and black design looks pretty nice. The detail in this website’s design caught my attention right away, I think it was the header background at first, then the nice sliding gizmo below the header, the subtle navigation and finally [...]

Beautiful, Clean, Inspirational Single Page Design

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

Tanya Merone’s website is definitely inspirational. It sits all on one page and uses the A NAME tags for navigation. The design is very clean, simple and beautiful. I love the simplicity of the some-what narrow column, the nice little navigation buttons at the top and the section separators with the small details like the [...]

Great Use Of Colors & Textures

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

The use of colors and textures on this site really shows the attention to detail of this web designer. The header is very exquisite and is done with great precision and skill. The navigation is pretty cool and is worth a mention, the brown background within the buttons slides over to the button that gets [...]

Elaborate Green Header With Nice Pattern Background

Friday, March 20th, 2009

So much to look at, I don’t know where to start. The logo area and the navigation is sitting atop of a nice stripey pattern that flows through out the page. The logo it self is carrying through the stripes. Simple text navigation links look really good inside this stripe. I like the jagged borders [...]

Bold Header Treatment, Deep Red

Monday, March 2nd, 2009

Not sure what I think about this one but the positive overweight the negative thoughts. I like the way it looks overall, the way the red pattern ties into the rest of the design and how it works with the grays. the gradient from red to darker red really adds depth. What I would have [...]

The Powerful Water Element

Monday, March 2nd, 2009

Water is really a nice element to play with and this applies to all websites. This website at Getmefast caught my attention because of the soothing and calm colors mainly due to its theme. For me, it is very relaxing to view the website with all the hues of blue in it. The header is [...]

Big Sweater Design, LOL!

Friday, November 14th, 2008

Sweater for a website background? That’s got to be the first one I’ve ever seen. Vincent Maglione of Big Sweater Graphic Design had an old sweater that was hanging around and so he decided to put it to good use. Very unique, I’ve got to say. I also like the tag looking design of the page. [...]
