17 Great First Impression Illustrations & Designs

Monday, December 15th, 2008

What’s the first thing that one sees as a website loads? The overall design, the big picture is the first thing that will produce some sort of a feeling in a visitor whether it will be a positive or a negative. Great design may just be that first impression that will make a visitor want to stay and see the rest of the site or get out as soon as possible.

The 17 websites and their design that are listed here are the ones that I liked based on the first impression, looking for that pleasing design that makes me want to look around. Some of them are illustrations on the website, others are layouts and the overall theme.

So here we go.

Clean brown and green design, earthy. Very nice looking logo. The navigation buttons utilize a very thin letter font, you’ve got to have good background to font contrast to pull this off and this one did.

Makes me cold just looking at it. I like the design a lot, but I think I’d probably add a bit more contrast to make the text and other parts pop better. The cleanliness  and uniqueness of the design is inspirational. Check out the great looking iceberg logo, love it.
