Website 1 TheGrand Canyon Skywalk
This site stood out to me as soon as I opened it. When you open the site you are greeted by a video in the centre of the screen showing people walking the grand canyon skywalk. This draws you into the site and it as a tag line Walk The Sky in a bold font that appears at the end of the film. It made me want to look at this site further and explore it more. As for the navigation it is easy to use and the fonts are clear and easy to read. I also like the design of the site with the background being an image of the grand canyon. On top of the image is the main container which contains all the content this is on a dark brown background. I like this site because you are drawn in by the video and think to yourself I would like to go there and try that.
Website 2 Photographer Rune Molnes
In my opinion this is a well designed website because you can tell what the site is for as soon as you open it. You open the site and you are presented with a selection of photographs in colour and black and white in the centre of the screen in an image slider. So these images draw you in and make you want to look at this site. Also the background is just a plain charcoal colour so it's not too busy. Also the navigation is easy to use and is clear to read. Overall this site is very pleasing on the eye.
Website 3 Tapas Bar in Stockholm Sweden
I came across this site for a tapas bar in Sweden it stood out to me because of the images used on it. When you open this site you are greeted by different large images of the cafe bar and its food and drink that rollover across the screen. So this draws you into the site and makes you want to delve deeper into it. It is pleasing on the eye to look at and the navigation and fonts are clear and easy to follow.
Website 4 Sugar Shack Records
I think this site is well designed because it is easy to navigate around. I like the fact you have an image slider of some of the bands featured on the site. Also when you click on the bands name underneath the slider you are taken to another page that gives you info on that chosen band and you can purchase their music on this page. I like the typography they have used for the name of the site. I especially like the font used for the headings its an urban looking font in white that stands out on the black textured background. The colours used on this site are black, grey and white and they give it an urban look. All the text is clear and easy to read. I think this site is targeting people who love music ingeneral and is aimed at the student age group who like their music and go to gigs.
Website 5 Two Giraffes Web Design Company
I like this site because it is very illustrative and that is what caught my attention when I first opened this site. I like the look of the opening page with the navigation at the top above a nicely illustrated picture underneath. I like the way the text is layed out and it looks clean with the text in brown on top of a white background. The navigation is easy to use and you can find your way around the site. It is a clean and bright site and the colours work well together. I just like the overall look of the site and the way the backgrounds are illustrated.
