5 Cool Websites

5 Cool Websites

  1. http://www.chevrolet.com/corvette/

· This website is visually appealing because of the vibrant colors used.

· It has tabs across the top that make for easy navigation.

· In addition, it includes a sidebar with a list of clickable items.

· The technology added to this sight such as animation, videos, and clickable extras give this site something special.

· There is just enough of everything to make it interesting without overwhelming the viewer.

  1. http://www.animallogic.com/#Home

· This site, ANIMALLOGIC, gives information about this company that specializes in creating special design for websites, television, and advertising.

· It’s no wonder that this site is really creative and unique.

· It features a special tab along the top for navigation that comes in and out of focus depending on which page you are looking at.

· There are special pictures that are the backgrounds of each sub-page.

· The different pages with their different pictures are all kind of tied together with a sepia or just natural-looking color scheme.

· The design of this site is very interesting and creative.

  1. http://www.fossil.com

· The Fossil website really takes advantage of white space.

· By not allowing their backgrounds to be too busy, they are able to have a lot more different links without making the viewer feel too overwhelmed.

· This site is also fairly easy to navigate because of it is separated into categories.

· This viewer is able to search for something particular by filtering through different links starting by narrowing the search down to male or female, what kind of item is of interest, and so on.

· The designer of this page did a good job because this site has a unique design that can be distinguished from other similar companies.

· This unique vibe adds to the desirability of Fossil products by making them seem out of the ordinary because even the website is special.

  1. http://www.val-gardena.ws/eng/

· This website almost reminds me of a scrapbook the way the different pictures and texts are separated into different frames in collage-like array.

· It features a lot of really extraordinary landscape photos.

· Even the background adds to the whole nature/traveling feel of the site.

· It is a nature green color with a splotchy effect that includes a shadow-like grassy field at the bottom.

· The designer of the site did a good job organizing the information that is presented.

· Even though a lot of different text is put forward it is separated into different areas where it seems more manageable to a viewer.

· There are also links and sub-links that allow the viewer to more easily find what he or she is looking for.

  1. http://www.brettnyquist.com/

· This site, BrettNyquist, is a web design portfolio.

· It features numerous examples of websites, but it does so in a unique way.

· The classy-black background, the vertical selection of websites really pops.

· Each example is separated by its rectangular divider.

· Because these websites are so neatly organized and separated, each example can be looked at separately.

· On the side of each divider there are uniform text boxes that provide the information in an organized way.

· I really like the symmetrical, uniform, and organized design of this site.
