Hornall Anderson Design Works

Hornall
I like this site a lot because of the splash entrance, animation, rollovers, and the diagonal box for the overview that comes up each time you look at their work. As you can see, I like much of this website. Their design work is very good, and they do work for famous names like Pedigree dog food and T-Mobile. I found some of their work in a book titled, Design Basics, and I searched for their site.

Eat Design

EAT DESIGN
I found this site in the Design Basics book. I enjoyed the animated splash page with the boxes that popped up over the EAT logo. They have very easy navigation and I like the different shades of gray. The only thing I would change is to make their work pictures larger, but right now it fits in with the layout.

Willoughby Design

I think this web site is easy to navigate even though there is more clicking than usual to get to images of their work. All the links stay in the same place and the names of the links are self explanatory. I also like how the text is small and the artwork is big so it can have all the focus on it. I saw a design from this company in a book called The Art of Design. The website is Willoughby.

Chocolate/Watts Design

I was looking at the Graphis Design Annual 2008 and I was drawn to the chocolate! Actually, What got my attention was the different images for each piece. I looked for the company's website on google, and was successful. The site is Watts Design. I really like the site because of the simple layout and the animation is the icing on the cake. It makes it really fun to search through the site. It reminds me of the way Steve wants to do Joan's site with the slide effect. Also, the design firm's work is not bad.

Below is the image from the Graphis Design Annual 2008.

Henderson Bromstead Art

When I first went to this site I thought it would not work because of the image that showed up on screen. It says to go to their previous site, which I did and then I found it. I think the website has good navigation and the first image that pops up is a fun little thing to read/look at. I really like their logo design of Norman Stockton that I found in their logos link. The site is Henderson Bromstead Art. I saw art by them in the book titled The Art of Design.
