thecoolhunter.net

I was talking to one of my roommates, who is an architecture major, one day and she told me about a site that she finds inspiring and I found to be appealing. It is called the cool hunter (http://www.thecoolhunter.net/) , which is to basically introduce new and upcoming product innovations including buildings, cars, music, [...]

holderconstruction.com

The website holderconstruction.com shows some good examples of what we talked about in class this Monday. When you first click on the home page the picture gallery is right there. Boom! Thumbnails are used as the navigation link to the rest of the site. The pictures are crisp as inviting.
Once you click on a photo [...]

http://www.showtowin.com/

While researching various livestock sites for my class proposal, I came across showtowin.com. The site is designed by Ranch House Designs and I think they do a really nice job providing a directory for their customer’s sites.
 
First off, in class we talked about designing for an intended audience and I think they have taken that [...]

showpig.com

When I was of 4-H age I would always visit showpig.com, to find out what the latest news from all the hottest swine breeders.  But when I revisited the site for the first time in a couple years I was shocked at the bad makeover it had received.  The site used to be simple and [...]

iscreambags.com

While looking at a website of a friend I met on my study abroad, I came across www.iscreambags.com.  Even though it is really simple, I think it works because it looks clean.  What I enjoy the most is the graphics.  The site is designed to sell home made bags and the graphics are fabric swatches [...]

http://www.sanduskycountyfair.com/

I chose this website because this is my Fair’s home page. I thought it was a little boring at first. It has the necessity’s and basics but I thought with as much as we do there, the web-page could have more to it. The web-page being basic makes it easier for audiences of all ages to navigate. The homepage could [...]

http://www.usguernsey.com/home.html

At my previous internship, this page was the home page on the computer I worked at. Since then, it have been remodeled and has a totally new look. The front page looks like a “splash” page… but it is not. The links are small and at the bottom. I did not expect them to be [...]

fpconservatory.org

I am relatively new to the Columbus area so there are many popular attractions that I have not had a chance to visit. At one attraction in particular, there have been weddings, parties, and other social events that I have been invited to that were all hosted at this venue. Sadly, none of [...]
