Design exploration

Zdzisław Beksiński's Official Website: http://www.beksinski.pl/

Zdzisław Beksiński (1929-2005) was a Polish   fine artist specializing in the field of fantastic realism. Influenced by his early memories from WW2, Z.B. created hunting art works that are both eerie and awe inspiring.
It is rare to find a website that with its design and functionality describes the style and mood of an artist’s work. Most of the portfolios I come across have a simple generic interface,which is great for showcasing images, but sometimes it provides nothing but a boring experience. This website on the other hand, preserves the criteria of a functional website with an intuitive navigation, but it also contains fun interactive elements. My favorite one is the navigation menu that a user can pull around and a mini decorative animations embedded in every page. Even the soundtrack contributes to the overall ethereal mood.

Jim Carrey's official website: http://www.jimcarrey.com/index_jc.html

JC has had a long successful acting career that encompasses a wide range of roles form silly slapstick comedies to serious drama movies. His official website  represents this eclectic career with quirky interactive collaged images that provide an exciting user experience.
Browsing through the website really makes you feel like you are riding the roller-coaster, while simultaneously looking through the kaleidoscope (especially during the animated transitions between the pages).
