I found this website posting 46 sites to get inspiration about using hand drawing style in webpage design. Quite useful~
The handwriting text elements make the website more organic and friendly just like walls of post-it-notes, passing a sense of relax and the personal. And the fuzzy lines, shapes and polaroid photos dedicating the website leave good impressions.
I just wanted to share my favorite website…not only do I love the clothes on the website, but I also love the way it is all laid out. Every couple of days or so, the website is updated and I think it is all put together very well. All of the pictures represent the clothing well and are all great pictures. Hopefully this helps for those doing a website with fashion and clothing.
As I am trying to get ideas for my website I have been trying to seek out what looks good versus what does not. I found this website where it shows good versus bad examples of websites. Take a look and hopefully it will help you too.
Brainstorming ideas for the website design project, I wanted to look at websites that were creative. I stumbled upon this when searching for websites and found it interesting that the color black was used. So often I see websites with white backgrounds–especially for businesses–and found this supportive of the theme being portrayed.
I know most of us are still going crazy trying to finish the magazine project, BUT I wanted to share with everyone a website that has gotten little attention yet is one of the most innovative I’ve ever seen. Newsmap is a site that allows you to see as much (or as little) news as you’d like by means of various-sized boxes. After creating a username and password, you can set Newsmap to load different types of news from as many countries as you’d like. Each news story appears in a box that clicks-through to the article, and as a story becomes more popular, has more hits & related stories, etc., the box becomes larger (you should have seen the box for Michael Jackson’s death last year, it practically took up the whole page!).
This site is really inspirational for my web design project. It shows that a simple concept, along with relatively simple execution, can make a site that people will remember and visit repeatedly. Newsmap is now my homepage, and I’m stoked that I discovered it nearly a year ago.
To be honest, I’m kind of obsessed with news. I read it all day, subscribe to a whole bunch of twitter news feeds, and most of my bookmarks in Firefox are for news sites. Recently, I’ve taken a liking to MSNBC’s new site. The use of the full color spectrum draws in the reader to the many news sections, and I really like integrated the social media functionality is within articles. This site is definitely an inspiration for me, especially because our final project of the semester involves web design.
Poke around the site for a bit, I bet you’ll like it!
This website, as it claims, is a one-stop resource for any web designer. It not only includes links to photoshop and fireworks tutorials, but even flash and professional site builders. If you’re still having trouble with your web design, this site could be a good reference for whatever you need.
