Another month and we have yet another collection of digital inspiration for you to feast your eyes upon. This month we have a range of sites that take you from the slick to the abstract with plenty of fun to be had along the way. Enjoy!
Continuing in a long tradition of beautifully presented portfolio websites we have picked one from photographer Saul Santos Diaz to genuinely inspire and if anything else exemplify how best to present your work online. Being a photographer naturally this web site is image heavy showcasing the breathtaking imagery in his portfolio with subjects wide ranging from Textures and shapes, people to varied landscapes. The design of the website and navigation system also displays a touch of class with fluid animations and transitions with an opaque transparent user interface.
Despite being released last month to promote the new Simpsons movie, this website deserves its place in the gallery regardless; if we didn’t include it, we would no doubt have a flurry of complaints. The website is filled with interactive goodness and hours of fun for all ages and includes downloads, gallery, video and lots of extremely addictive games. You get to explore all the landmarks of Springfield and you can even have a Duff with Homer and his pals.
It’s always refreshing to see a website that is experimental, one that has no fear in being different and with plenty of imaginatio. The award-winning website of French graphic designer Alexandre Soubrier entitled Moon Palace is a unique take on what a portfolio website can be; that is, anything you want. Soubrier has not sacrificed any usability in this instance; in fact it’s navigation is simple but just as innovative. We seriously recommend you check this online gem and share it with your friends.
This website has been created to promote the Texas World Speedway and has a distinctive illustrative style that is also used as its navigation. In promoting the event, the site has included plenty of interactive features and games to keep you busy for a time, while entertaining you with its country music soundtrack. The site has been created with a great sense of fun that appears in its every facet but mainly through its games like the ‘Country Star Dash’, The ‘Buck off’ and ‘Beat The Heat’. You’ll come away from this singing ‘Sweet Home Alabama’!
Fully Illustrated has stunning visuals, slick design and is unpretentious in its overall web presence. The site is the portfolio website of multi-talented Michael Heald, and as you will see when you take a visit, it is a great example of how any creative should be presenting themselves online. Naturally, as a multi-disciplined creative, Heald splits his site accordingly through pages showcasing his design, illustration, photography and 3D works, each page allowing his strongest visuals to take centre stage.
