Wood Textures & More
July 16th, 2008 | Posted in Backgrounds/Patterns, Headers, Navigation/Menu |
While searching for wood grain textures yesterday, I found Alex Buga’s website. Yes, it does have a great wood texture in the background, but I saved his site to highlight other features that I like about it.
- As noted before, I like it when sites include hand drawn elements. Alex’s site does this very well with the character sketch and introduction. I also like the fluffy little clouds scattered here and there. The footer also incorporates more hand drawn elements.
- I also like his choice of colors.
- The pendant light is cool. I really like the way it “lights” up his comments section. Very clever idea.
- Navigation menu. Simple and not overloaded with too many choices. I don’t necessarily like the “skip to content” feature as it doesn’t really accomplish much (I can scroll down an inch and a half just as easily as I can hit that button). But, this does not take away from the nice, simple navigation menu he’s created.
So, check out his site and let me know what you think of it. I think it’s great!
