I choose to do Bravo restaurant (http://www.bravoitalian.com/index.html) an Italian restaurant that we based our project off of.
the picture on the background is a base colored brick wall that makes you feel like you are in an Italian restaurant. then all the colors of the foreground are similar to it to keep to the color scheme. This adds consistency to make the actual images that they use show more. this can allow the user not to be surprised by any new color thrown into the webpage. The way they have the menus page is neat and clean in its set up the way they use they image to use as a button is nice, and it shows the hidden menu. Bravo’s website is set up nicely and efficiently where the user can navigate it without feeling lost or losing there place so that allows them to enjoy the website with out any mystery meat that can make them lose their place. But the color is neutral so you don’t have any odd feelings going into the website. this allows for a non bias view of the websites.
Over all the bravos website uses all the navigation well, color well and makes it an Italian feel, but besides the texture in the background and the simple 3px bold borders there is nothing that makes it pop or catch your attention
