Sites to See

Here are some sites that I have been looking at to get some kind of idea of what it is I would like to create, there’s a good mix of looks, navigation and animation in here. If you have no interest in my project you may still have an interest in these sites, they are simply awesome. You may also have noticed there are no sites got to do with my chosen topic; this was a conscious decision, if you go to a graffiti site you’ll know why. The people behind the graffiti sites that I’ve seen are trying to recreate what they have seen on the streets. Yes this looks great as a photograph, stencil, poster or whatever but not as a website. It becomes full of clutter and there can be two many colours and filler going on that can take away from the work. Right well that’s the rant over for the day, enjoy the sites.

Love the look feel and navigation of this; they use just the right amount of colour over the gray website.
