ARTM2210 Intro to Web Design

Just another Intro to… site

Monthly Review #2

The site I chose is http://www.mindworks.gr/ it’s a very beautiful site that has a lovely color scheme, which really draws anyone who see’s it. The only animation seen are the clouds that are locked in a diagonal like barrier, I think that it’s very subtle, and gives the site a nice touch against the pink, black and white colors. The colors used are as mentioned the shades of white, black, grays, and pink, a simple color scheme, which appeals to me. The pink contrasts against the white and black, and doesn’t get lost in such heavy colors. I think any hot (neon) colors would work such as blue, or green as well. The way the user scrolls through the site is by scrolling up and down, there is no other navigator. The texture, and lines, makes the site more noticeable, almost like there is a 3D dimension and you can’t really go wrong with diamonds of course. There is also interactive piece, the user can click on it will open, into the given information, which I think is pretty interesting and the way that the site seems to have two layers, I think is also pretty cool. The site sections off their information is by using the diamonds and splitting it up into different pieces all leading to different kinds of information, the user gets to click on what interest them and can exit it at will, when clicked, the triangle will animate and expand (to a rectangle) to show the user what lied underneath that tag.
