Design continued

some more web sites that I've enjoyed looking at and interacting with.

 This is one of my favorites, being so simple in layout the colours compliment each other 
and the navigation bar clear clean up the top colour coordinated.


 This is Aston Martins global web site, and it has been voted the best in the world for industry websites.

With web sites like this and other luxury car manufactures it is vital there website is as classy and elegant as there car to reflect and sell there top range product.

audi homepage, again one full length image of there sports car. and they have kept the nav bar and the page boarder are similar colour to the colour of the car.

design research

For my design research, i knew exactly what inspiration i was looking for.
simple clean and neat.

as soon as i click onto a web site i don't want to be bombarded with colour upon colour and about 20 pictures and struggling to find the tiny font of the navigation bar.

I was looking for one possibly two colours then for my eyes to glide across the page to the navigation bar and maybe even see one image simple clean and crisp depending on the website of course.


For example 

Simple single image white background and simple soft font 




This web site has and image as the background with there business name in the left top corner of home page then the nav bar in the top right.
This company has chosen to have a video on there home page 
as seen by the video icon under there slogan.

Witt Art and Design website: project 2

For this project we had have to design and build the Witt Art and Design website which is an extension from the main Witt website,

As in the first project which we had to redesign and build the Evoke website which for me was a real battle not on the design aspect but rather with the building of the page, as much as i wanted to understand and learn how to build a web site, my brain wouldn't let me (laugh).

My first thought was obviously to keep it simple so that it could be achievable for what contents we had to include and also for the deadline of hand in.

But secondly for myself personally i would be more inclined to design and build a simple web site
purely because simple would make it easy to build but the look would be clean and neat and the web itself would be easy to navigate and user friendly.
