blog #3 websites

Plot, Line, Plane:
Website: http://acko.net/

Although this site is pretty standard set up with scroll downs to most recent news, the banner, and headlines use Plane and Line very well as well as color to create a depth of field. I found this site to various diagonals to create a sense of weighty 3 dimensional line. The navigation bar on terms of aesthetic as well as the entire site has a lot of appeal, and looks very slick.


Rhythm, Balance:
Website: http://music.vodafone.com/

This site I found to have incredible balance and interactivity. The most apparent balance and rhythm is from the color Using almost a muted color scheme but contrasting that with some brighter colors, and using very simplistic shapes which you can throw around and have them effect the other. Very fun little site.


Scale:
Website: http://www.designbyhumans.com

This is a pretty cool t-shirt company which sells shirts designed by people. First off though the way they place each page is very unique in the way you navigate through the pages which brings you to see each new shirt in the foreground someone wearing it and re-emphasis' it by placing the same image on the t-shirt in the background. Personally I thought the design of the pages in advertising the shirt was a very nice way to emphasize the "art" on the shirt whereas many other sites its very hard to tell whats even on the shirt.


Texture:

This website I found to be a playful for St Francis Health. It used a light childish soundtrack but more importantly it told a story of a town in the way of using child-like drawings and simple pencil textures. I thought this was an incredible site by advertising a hospital which is usually associated with sickness, and trying to make it seem a lot less stressful by using this cheerful adaptation to help its patients.
