Three websites

I dig this website because it is very simplistic, yet interesting.  It uses a simple black background and adds some interest with it's scrolling art work, and it's crazy scribble text.  When I look at a website what really gets me is the typography, which is part of the reason I love this website.  Very simple, with a little flare.

I like this website because it is very representative of jack and the music he plays.  I like that the website reminds me of the ocean.  It has cool text, and a very cool background.  It reminds me of the board walk and really mellows me out, much like jack's music does.

I l<3ve this website because I think that black, white, and red are very aesthetically pleasing.  I love the text that is used and stack on the side navigation bar.  I also like how the web page is mainly set up in the middle of the browser.  It makes it very simplistic and easy to read.

Three Website Choices

I found this site browsing "Pearl Jam" while listening to it of course, and it's a pretty sweet site that allows you to listen to their music for free and provides a pretty cool puzzle thing to keep you busy!

http://www.pearljamtengame.com/

I chose this link because it is simply...really fun :) It is like GarageBand for all you mac users, just a little less technical. You can play around like you are actually on the piano!

I chose this specific website for a couple of different reasons. For one I adore the music, which is how i discovered it, and secondly it catches my eye. I really like the way they incorporated drawings in to the photography and how certain things are animated. It has a child-like/unique feeling to it that helps portray how her music is.

Website #3

Kumi Yamashita creates her work by using wood and other materials to make shadows of people. She also uses other mediums in her artwork such as graphite and fabric but her shadow art is by far her most unique pieces. Her website is also neat and easy to navigate through. I like that when you click to view a picture larger another window opens up. I also like that her work is grouped in the year that they were created because it shows how the artists has progressed.

Website #2

I thought this site was interesting mainly because Dan Witz's paintings are so realistic looking. He has a whole section of paintings of mosh pits and portraits of people texting. These are two things that you don't normally see painted so I thought that was original. His site also contains a lot of information but is still neat and organized. There is also a video on the site that shows some of his street work.

Website #1

I chose this site because the homepage really caught my attention. On the homepage is a huge picture of the artist covered in paint. The site is neat and easy to navigate through. The artist's artwork is also amazing. Instead of working on a canvas she paints people to make them look like a painting. Since her work is so unique its nice that she has more than one picture of most of her pieces.

Website #3

I chose this site for a lot of the same reasons that I chose the first two. I am attracted to websites with simple designs. In this site, everything you might need to find is listed on the top of the page as well as the artist's name. The colors featured are simply gray and white, so nothing is distracting to the artwork or readings. I like that you can always get back to where you started by clicking the artist's name.

Website #2

The second site I chose is called SwarmSketch. It is a site that chooses a topic or subject each week, and allows anyone who clicks onto the site to draw their feelings toward the subject and contribute to what other people have drawn. It is interesting to see what people can collectively come up with to represent the topic given. I also chose this site because I like the fact that the website is organized to the top left. It makes it easy to navigate throughout the site and find your way back to where you started. If I was making a website I would be very interested in setting it up similar this site.

I chose this website because most of Paul Hayes pieces involve the beauty of the environment. I myself am very environmentally conscious and I really like the way that he displays his appreciation for it in this artworks. I also love the way the website is designed, where the links are displayed as things growing on a tree.

http://www.jonnybones.com/

This website is promoting Jon Jones. Jon is a popular young UFC fighter. He graduated in 2005 from my highschool. He still is undefeated. This site is pretty simple but is pleasing to me because he is a friend. The site itself has a lot of text to it. Many questions and answers and also some videos of his fights and interviews. Check it out and cheer for him! Next fight is the night before the Super Bowl on ppv. Order it!

Website #1

http://www.dreamworksanimation.com/

This is the DreamWorks website. I like this website because of the use of animation throughout the website. Buttons are animated by both roll over and clicking them. There are a lot of cool little things within this website itself, like games, and also the process and production of the movies. Also I like the way that the site uses the logo of a boy fishing of the moon as the loading screens. The logo is also animated. Check it out.

Nick Russian is an artist who designs for Lib Tech snowboards. His art is amazing, wether it be snowboards designs or a painting, as I have shown. Considering he is in the field I would like to go into, he is definitely an inspiration for me.

3 web sites of interest

http://www.agencynet.com/
This is a website for a marketing agency. I chose it for its great use of web design and interactive layout. Even the download bars that they've created when you go from page to page are cool. Here is an example of some work they did for Jay-Z.








http://okaydave.com/
This a web site that I found with a great home page. It looks cluttered but the designer has made it easy to navigate with a well laid out roll over feature. I also like the cartoon-y portfolio of this particular artist.















http://www.mono-1.com/monoface/main.html
This site has a fun "Mr. Potato Head" type feature where you can mix and match different body parts on the faces of different people. It must have taken a lot of work to make everyone line up.

Trent Mitchell is a photographer I have admired for a long time. The way he plays with light in his photos really creates incredible images. He focuses on the ocean primarily, due to his background with surfing. The way he photographs is incredible, as is the finished product.

This photo was taken by Alexa Meade. The reason why I enjoy her art so much is that she does things the opposite way most painters do. Instead of painting a 2D surface and attempting to make it look three-dimensional, she paints real people in an attempt to make them look two-dimensional, and then photographs the finished product. I chose this image because it shows her at work in a real setting, including real people, which is fascinating to me.

Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol is one of the most famous pop artist. I find his work most interesting because of how different he takes simple things and make you think about it more. Like the picture above of the soup can. Also, when you see his famous Marilyn Monroe painting, I know I have to look at it a few times to try to understand where his coming from. But know one really knows.

NICHOLAS DI GENOVA


















This website shows viewers a lot of unique characters, and the organization is very systematic. They also provide many grotesque drawings from black and white to color with a high level of detail.

Website #2

Ansel Adams

Ansel Adams is one of my favorite photographers. He is one of the photographers that I personally look up to. As a photographer myself, I can look at his work in an equine way. As i grew as a photographer, I look at his work as guides to further myself in photography.

Website #1

Georgia O'Keefe

Georgia O'Keefe has been one of the only painters that I have ever loved. Her work, to me, is very simple but very beautiful. O'Keefe's work can speak to almost anyone if they take the time to appreciate the simplicity to it.

I like Audrey Kawasaki's site because it's very much about the material she paints on.. it's presented much like another piece of her work. Although she's very different than Esao, I like her work for the same reasons.. her high level of detail and line quality. I also like how she has both highly rendered and very minimalistic areas, while still allowing the wood grain to show through.








I've followed Esao Andrews for a long time. I've always been attracted to his attention to detail and grittiness. Over the last year or so, hi work's become notably more mature, with more continuity of color usage throughout. His website has been recently updated, and is very clean and functional.








I really like the very graphic look of Tomer Hanuka's work, and well as the hand-tool process that goes into a digital looking final piece. I'm also drawn to his use of color in that things are rarely the color that they "should" be. His website is very similar to Audrey Kawasaki's in both clean layout and functionality.
