Entertainment
sites don't need to be as conservative as business sites, so the
range of styles used can be far more imaginative and varied. Probably
the most common difference between a mainstream business site and
an "alternative" site such as goldentarot.com
is the colour of the background. Yep. An independent or alternative
site can get away with a black background, whereas corporate sites
pretty much have to stick to white or light colours.
I aim for a
modern contemporary audience, often using bold 3D graphics, manipulated
scans and photographs.
Sites such as
ubermole.com
and fork-you.com
are probably not feasible to build on a commercial basis due to
their size and complexity, but the design features and look can
be translated easily to smaller projects.
As you can see
from my examples, the styles of entertainment
sites I've built varies extensively from the 3D dark and mysterious
look of ubermole to the no-fuss notepad and typewriter look of my
cooking site vegetabulous.com.
Some of my first
designs were for bands - these sites vary as much as the style of
the bands themselves, from 60's pop to creepy horror looks.
