2 Design Examples

This site was created by the group named Big Spaceship (list of works here: http://www.bigspaceship.com/portfolio/) and they hold one of my favorite websites: Most Awesome Thing Ever). The idea behind this site is to search for the most awesome thing ever. I love the way they have set up the background, which looks like the site of a gang fight. So when you go on this site, it really sets it up as a battle and makes it more entertaining for the viewer. I also really enjoy how they have made their buttons fun by allowing for the titles "Thing One" and "Thing Two" to have electricity running through them. Big Spaceship also made it more interesting by allowing the viewers to see what things have made it to the top of the awesome list. This website really reminds me of those one-on-one fighter video games where the design is macho and cheesy, but yet highly entertaining and completely unforgettable.

This site done by TokyoPlastic allows for the user to continuously interact with the website. In order to find any information on TokyoPlastic, you have to work yourself through as series of buttons where each button triggers something different. I don't like that everything within the site is set to be display in an isolation corner of my webpage. However, its design is effective in drawing in the user. When first presented with just a geisha doll, you're encourage to try to find something click on, anything that will give you more info on the site. But there's more that pops up, so you keep clicking and clicking to find out SOMETHING. Visiting here is great for triggering your curiosity, as well as keep you looking at TokyoPlastics' design for a good long while.
