I have been very impressed and influenced by websites featured on the bestwebgallery. I love the use of typography, space, headers, graphics and thin lines.
One of my favorite sites is Phil Coffman’s wordpress design. I found him through John Nack’s Adobe blog.
Great use of the 960 grid system and wordpress. I love it!
I have been a big fan of Jina Bolton’s Sushi & Robots site since I first laid eyes on it. She is a contributor on A List Apart. She knows what she is doing- unlike me…
I love her simple navigation, it is classy and compelling.
This japanese design firm has a very interesting footer with contact info, social links and search. most of those are things I would think of as being in the header.
Check out the footer on this one.
The call to action on this portfolio site was really straightforward and honest. I really like the approach.
A great call to action within a portfolio.
The graphic header and integration in this portfolio site is very personalized and breaks the mold. Think outside of the expected.
Sweet graphical header
Typography is used in so many ways on the web now. There are interesting ways accomplish effective communication.
This dropcap makes me happy.
Ribbons of Red combines type through an image with CSS formatted text.
I found a couple of examples of type heirarchy that really fit what feels right in my mind.
Simple color in type helps with heirarchy.
Great sections with type color.
The challenge lies in incorporating good ideas and elements into my own design. I find that it is the subtle smaller styling that really can make or break a page design.
