Design Exploration

For my design exploration, I'm going to introduce two different kinds of pretty websites from Japanese studious.

This is my first favorite website. I like this one so much because this is really cute and makes me relax.

This website is about apparel for kids.

This website is created with so many colorful dots which has children's pictures on it. The dots also create simple, cute pictures like fish, the shape of a heart, house, and so on. Therefore we can understand that this is about kids. By clicking one of the dots, you can see the specific kid's picture, video, and profile. At the beginning, I thought that it was the advertisement for a kindergarten. However, we can see the information of their clothes, and also can recognize the shop information which is on the upper right screen.

This website is really easy to see and understand. It doesn't have that many options so we don't get lost using it. In addition, this has lots of colorful dots but also has a lot of white space. Therefore, it is not clutter and at the same time, takes my eyes to the pictures and we can enjoy them. It doesn't take time to load it either.

I think that is a really cool website to know the trend for children, and what the kids are wearing, so mothers would love this website!


For my second favorite website, I'm going to introduce this interesting one.

This website is the advertisement of the advertisement company. They replace the time of Japan with an earlier time, and used the story of famous Japanese wars to explain how they skillfuly won the war and business from the other advertisement companies in this website in a funny way.

This is like a movie and a game, and the audience will choose what they are going to do as the advertisement company. Then they will see what is going to happen after they choose.

They don't use that much color in the website, but the way they paint is comfortable to see it for an audience. It is not too complicated to watch; also, it definitely leads us to know that they are great advertisement company since we will see their triumph at the end of the website. It doesn't have that much movement of the animation, instead of this, we read dialog. It helps us to understand what the website is about too.

As I mentioned it before, this website is for the advertisement company; therefore as it has been expected, this website will be wonderful advertisement for the business community.
