Illustration Plus Photography Equals Artsy Header

Illustration over photograph, good idea. Looks very cool. I also like the large, boxy navigation.

Retro Styled Website
Monday, September 1st, 2008
Again, I was looking for interesting color combinations tonight when I came across Mister-Aero. It not only combines some great, smooth, classic colors, it also has a great retro style to it. Initially, it reminds me of something I would see in a WWII era magazine. However, upon closer examination, there are modern elements thrown in alongside some of the classic stylings. The colors work well together too.
I like the smile on the guy’s face. It’s very welcoming. I also like how they use the aviator in other places on the site. He acts as their ‘point’ man so to speak. All in all, I like it and think it’s worth checking out. Let me know what you think…
Nice Color Choices and Precise Navigation
Sunday, August 17th, 2008
The website for Riverstone One was built for one purpose: showcase available office space and get it leased. Its mission is to sell the location. Personally, I think it accomplishes its mission very well.
- It is very professional in appearance. Nice layout, great color choices. It’s not flashy, overpowering or overcrowded.
- Simple, precise navigation. No one is going to wonder, “gee…what’s this tab for?”
- Straightforward content showcasing the building and the surrounding area.
This is a great example of a niche website being built for a single purpose. If you have a client who is looking to have a single focus website built I’d strongly suggest looking at this website as a great model to follow.
Nice logo & great navigation - BlueBolt
Saturday, August 9th, 2008
This website I found belongs to BlueBolt Solutions. What caught my eye first was the logo, it is clean and simple. Black and Blue looks good and then an icon of gray and blue adds a bit more to the dish. I love the reflective effect, just gives the header depth.
Once I was done drooling on the logo I noticed the navigation bar. That faint blue glow at the top brings the navigation forward and makes you notice it.
And the overall layout and design is excellent, clean lines, lots of white space - room to breathe. Shades of blue continue throughout the page. Nice use of shading using gradients.
