This week, in contrast to Nickelodeon's site, I wanted to look at CBS's site. The first thing I noticed is that this site is mainly black, and with dark shades of gray that make it more of an adult site. On top, there is a small navigation that links to again, the main parts of CBS that would link to another site. The top has the primary navigation ( Read more... )

For this week, I looked at another portfolio. This time, it was from Colombian artist Maria Luisa Isaza. First of all, the splash page is very visually attractive since it shows you right away an image of her work. I like that when you hover over the enter button, the image in the background changes, although I am not a fan of the sound. I like the ( Read more... )

This time, I looked at Maximilian Bode's portfolio. I looked at this website because I like the really personal feel that goes with his style and that makes his site unique. I find it really cool that he used images for each button and the little green arrows on the sides make it really obvious when you are hovering over a certain button. The site ( Read more... )

 Since I looked at CNN site's last week, I decided to look at a Mexican website for a Mexican newspaper, El Universal.  The first thing I noticed is that the background of this site is also white and very clean. The main navigation is made up of gray buttons with dark gray ont and the selected state is red font. The hover state is a blue gradient ( Read more... )

For this week I decided to look at CNN's website.  I wanted to see how to deal with a more professional site that is usually really loaded with infromation and media. The first page just shows the CNN logo in white on a red background as a header. The main navigation consists of red buttons with white font. When you hover over the buttons you get a ( Read more... )

 For this blog post, I decided to look at the Hard Rock Cafe's website. The first thing I noticed is that the page is centered and it has a dark color palette with black and greys like the Hard Rock style usually has.  The site looks like a three column grid and the primary navigation is in a dark grey line that is very clear and easy to see.  The ( Read more... )

For this week, I decided to look at the website for the band "Uh Huh Her" .  My first opinion of the site is that it is very visually loaded with information. The color palette is dark with a mixture of red, black and white. The site is fixed to the left and the size is fixed as well, so since I have a big monitor and I get a lot of black space to ( Read more... )

For this week's blog post I chose to look at another portfolio. This time I looked at Sean O'Kane Photography in order to give me an idea of a different way to handle pictures and photos when making my own portfolio.

First of all, I know this site is really simple, but I really like the way pictures are displayed. The primary navigation is pretty ( Read more... )

For this week, the website I looked at was the portfolio of graphic designer Stefan Lucut. His site (www.stefanlucut.com) has been updated and is currently changing, so I decided to write about the last change I have seen.

When you open the website. the first thing you see are thumbnails. This time, the primary navigation are thumbnails of his work ( Read more... )

The site color palette is dark but looks pretty well thought of, in my opinion. I like the dark grays and blacks and the combination with pink and white text. I think the whole site really matches the style of the work of the artist and that really helps give it all a unified feel.

The site has definitely a lot of pages to look at and to pay ( Read more... )
