Web Design Research

I came across this website by a young graphic designer / Textile artist. I like the combination of the textiled pattern with a graphic element of type to it. However i feel the choice and use of type could be improved , i would use something a little more professional, but this is the type of style that i want to go for when designing my website. 

Web Design :: BIP LING :: Dreamweaver

This is website blog belongs to one of my favourite fashion writers called Bip Ling.

She is pretty crazy and this is certainly reflected in her website. 

Although i stated in my previous post that i like minimalistic and clean cut websites , i love the other extreme of having you're website reflect you're personality and in this case it is the opposite of simple. 

Bip has gone for a tacky colourful style and layout , using childish and random images and icons as links is such a cool idea!

i always enjoy having a browse on this website as i always find something new , there are surprises at every click! 

I like the higgildy piggildy layout as it never fails to keep me amused and revisiting the blog.

The website is all about her and is full of her work, interests and anything she likes , i love this concept as it fully reflects who she is as person. 

The website has the cutest character icon at the bottom which eyes follow you're mouse...

Web Design :: Nasty Gal :: Dreamweaver

Nasty Gal is an online fashion store aimed at young quirky females.
I often purchase items from this site and find it a pleasure to use!
Very easy and clear , direct and organised links make it easy to fully brows what they are offering.
The theme of the website is very minimalistic in terms of colour and layout , but this works as the center section of the site is always changing to suit the theme of the season or clothing range.
I love how it is so clean and white with clear black caps text and a big bold black logo , it makes the site sophisticated yet appropriate for a young audience at the same time.
