Friday Focus 11/13/09: Illustrious Illustrations

Another dose of great sites with great illustrations that carry the design. Happy Friday the 13th Focus!

Designs of the Week

Blue Acorn

The blue and brown looks stunning. Everything’s so tidy and well-arranged.

Mark Forrester

This design conveys playfulness but in a subtle way. Beautiful borders on the boxes.

Piipe

I adore the navigation. And the Twitter bird floating on the log!

Sanat Rath

I like how the designer used both the carousel and parallax effects on one page.

Attack of the Web

Would’ve liked a bit more of the comic book look in other parts of the site, but I enjoy the concept.

The Shark Lab Aquarium and Research Facility, Mossel Bay

Fantastic concept and detail.

Logo Realty Associates

Beautiful use of classic illustrations to support that warm, homey look.

Mutant Labs

Chalkboard effect!

GANDR Web

A fun way to illustrate the “refresh” services they’re offering.

    Great illustrations, from retro comic characters to bold vector shapes. All these sites are very creative and individual, for the right subject or company an illustrated website can be really effective.

    These sites are awesome. Great illustrations. I will be forwarding this site on to my designers at my company.
