Victoria: Shweet non commercial websites

I came across this website called The beauty department which is just a website that gives a lot of unique beauty tips. The design of this websi

te is perfect for the crowd it's aimed towards. The top of the site is constant with every page. It's diagonal button design is aesthetically pleasing along with its pastel colors which create a natural and clean feel to the site. The site is also easy to use and creative it in it's display.

This is a website I saved and use anytime I want to make dinner for guests. I love the layout of it. The way they let you scroll through the delicious looking pictures is cool because when you come across one that looks appetizing to you, you just click on the picture and it brings you to the individual recipe. Each picture also has a brief description of the meal below it in case you can't tell what it is from the picture. I think that having all the pictures centere

d and lined up clean up the site so that the immense amount of content on the page looks sleek and organized.

This website just plays music and uses subtle graphics to go along with the song. It's slightly interactive in that you can click on the corner tab to show the song information an you can click around to see some other graphics but the website itself is pretty simplistic in its function. There isn't an image that I can grab from this site because the whole site is an animation.

This website is for an aspiring rock artist. It's website is really interactive and creative in it's display. He displays his work and information using different graphics and animations. I like how he created his own "world" on his website which leads me to think his work will be deep and creative. I think it's a good way to get himself out there. Such an advanced website being used as a simple portfolio really

impressed me.

This website is for local glass designers in Washington who design pipes. I thought that the content on this page was mostly what dragged me to this site because I've seen how simple pipes are made in ithaca but these are so detailed and extravagant that I wanted to see more. Because of the complexity in the individual pipes, the website design is clean and simple sticking to a solid white background so that the images of the pipes stand out. I think that was a good design choice simply because when displaying pieces that are so crazy in shape and color, you need a simple and solid background to contrast and calm the website down. It's also nice that you can scroll over the different images on the homepage to make the images bigger so you can really see how detailed these pipes are. The top of each page remains constant throughout and has a humorous comment about how stoners will love this page. I think that's a good way to connect to their desired audience and keep their attention.
