OUGD504 - 'Awwwards' Website Research


I wanted to look at some websites that were designed effectively. I decided that a good way to do this would be to look at the selections on Awwwards.com, a website that aims to collate work from the best web designers around the world and each year give out prizes for strong web design in different categories.











One of the first sites that I looked at was Velvet Hammer. Velvet Hammer is a record company, the website design is minimal and clean. It has nothing that isn't necessary which I think is what stood out to me about the site. I may look to design an extremely simple, functional site, similar to this.









The colour scheme and the use of large bold typography works really well on the website for the Fernway (a travel website) The website uses a one page scrolling format which is effective due to the design and typography. It is apparent when you reach a new section due to the large titles and consistent layout. 












Nice and Serious is a creative agency that produce creative outcomes to tackle serious issues. The colour scheme has been used consistently and tastefully. The layout is simple and easy to read and navigate. One of the features of this site that I really like is the way that projects expand to fill the entire screen.
