The Powerful Water Element

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 also very catchy with two cartoon characters riding a boat which complements the water element that governs the site.

What I like best about this website is on how the color fades from dark to light as it reaches the top. The fun fonts also complemented the theme. It somehow reminds me of fun cartoons.

Big Sweater Design, LOL!

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.

Nice Canvas Background

I like this canvas background. I haven’t seen one like this yet. Site design goes well with it.

Another Website with Lots of Cool Features

Swiths.com is a sweet site that has a lot going happening on its front page. There are several design elements that appeal to me.

1. I like the orientation of the page. It appears that everything is lying on the floor. Notice the Converse sneakers on the right, the nicely colored hardwood floors, etc.

2. I like how the content is displayed. Everything is on the tag (for lack of a better term). The navigation is running vertically up the right side of the tag too.

3. I like the chewed up pencil. It’s realistic and looks good.

4. I like their logo. It’s appealing and looks great.

What’s your opinon of this site? Let me know…I’d be interested in your overall opinion as well.
