Kuler

Kuler Adobe is a site where we sort of come across in one of Mark's lecture when we talk about colours and to choosing the right colours to present something about us as well as to have the colours coordinated and suited nicely together.

This particular colour scheme that I am looking at this the closest I can get to match the colour scheme for my website. Although I may not use all the colours in there but it is the closest to what I can use in the same category.

Desginer's Website

Compared to 2advanced.com, both of this designer's website that I come accross has very simple design and their aim is just to sell their company but not their designs. As I was going through the two websites,they are specialized in helping people to design website but their own website has very simple features. I am not saying it is something unprofessional but I guess as they are being professional, they would also try to be simple and reach their audience in a proper manner and not to confuse them. User-friendly.
Well..at least what I am trying to say is...you don't necessarily need a very complicated website because the aim is to sell the product of the company to the targetted audience and to get that message across. Obviously we also have to determine what we are promoting too.

Avril Lavigne

She's my favourite singer so no doubt I will visit her website. She used to have her studio picture on the header but now it has changed to her current concert picture. I particularly enjoy looking at the design which has her name on it. It looks interesting. Although I may have the likings to do something like hers but I guess the theme to mine is rather different. The colour might be a little bit distracting but it does show a person's characteristic. Probably is also the latest colour for Avril herself: like a transformation after she gotten married... =)

Legends and Legacies

The content for this site probably has a wrong bearing on it because it all went to the left of the site rather than to the center of the page. Maybe there's problem in getting the page to look nice because the first time looking at it...the page was alright but when I come bek again to the site, turns out like this. However, what I like about this site is the doted lines that is presented... as well as the way they make their header.

Black Background

Skins is one of my favourite British tv series so far...really impresses me compared to other tv series which I find it rubbish. Anyway, skins' website has this youth and vibrant feeling when you surf it. The colours and the content they put in are very vibrant and youthful. I guess it is the youth that the producers are targetting so they are using colours to also bring something close to youth. It does have something similar to Avril Lavigne's website where black and pink is concern (See Avril) Similarly as to Celine' website, although black is her background but what stands out is the picture in the middle and her name. I guess that is what makes the website significant as long as you can target your main message to your audience. Black background can be catchy but it does brings out the message you want to promote because it stands out.

Liverpool FC

I was thinking since my website will be based on my life in Liverpool...guess it will be best to have a look at LFC..and my...my first reaction to it...It look like BBC's website. It probably may not look as bright as LFC's but my first thought to it that it looks something like BBC

River Island

This website has interesting features which I like. I like the way it is presented. The picture of the two model gives a sense as if it has been cut out and paste on the page. Looks interesting which I am adopting it to mine. The notepad at the side is what I am looking for also for my website. Since I am going to do something about me and I thought best to have my website design something personal. Like what we used to have previously giving to friends to write something on our book as something to remember.
