Oleg Postnikov

This site was created by designer Oleg Postnikov and is also a bold manifesto for his aesthetic and design philosophy. Through typography, simple images use a single bright color, layout unusual, patchwork. He also showed a preference for illustrations and a fondness for modernity.

Beta Takaki

This site uses the exact opposite of the above site. It is characterized by large pictures with very small simple fonts. Washed Gray makes up most of the background, creating a calm, simple abstraction of the atmosphere. Like the website above, the site is also modern and impeccable.

Benjamin Sheppard

Benjamin Sheppard, a Welsh website designer, has created a website that shows more than just his design skills and highlights his front-end development skills. The homepage of the website is very simple, but asks the user's name, it creates the small town style hospitable feeling.

Warm tones, simple layouts further strengthen the feeling of friendliness and comfort.

Grayden Poper

Do you, Luke?

The following image does not seem to be true for the site, when users move the mouse on the screen, as the main image of the picture, the aircraft has been flying in the background, creating a very cool interactive 3D effect. A sense of movement makes the whole design more dynamic.

Evan

The site also uses a separate moving layer to create a one-word effect. But this process is more ingenious. Paper in the thousands of paper cranes fluttering in the title, creating a Lightsome surreal feeling. Colors and fonts further emphasize the lightness and femininity of the home page, the overall feeling of high-end atmospheric grade. It also leaves room for the display of the work.

Qais Sarhan

This site is simple and sharp. The first page of the picture is only two connections, or embedded in the picture. The man clicking on the image will pop up a dialog box that links to his blog, personal files and social information. A shape in the middle of the picture can be connected to a contact table. This web page has some constraints, but it shows a precise understanding of web design and interaction.

Ian James Cox

In this way, this is a very ideal site model, both to show his unique style, but also to publicize his strong adaptability.

Gregory Sujkowski

Gregory Sujkowski's website shows a picture of a computer dialog box. The dialog box mimics the appearance of the Apple and quickly temporarily this picture of his design. This single page site is extremely simple, with only one or two short descriptions for each section. The result is extremely concise, focused, and accurate. The design here implements the true dialogue function.

Denise Chandler

Most of the printing is abstract and serious. The site shows how far the printing can go. Blue tones, handwritten sensations, and mixed fonts all prove the design of Denise Chandler. In her union, all the combinations were like a lively party.

Thibaud

This site shows that color highlighting is not too clumsy to be too feminine. The background filled with dark gray, lattice modules, all of which are undoubtedly very masculine. The color jumps out is also a harmonious, the overall effect is like the exquisite modern palette.
