We have some pumpkin-colored sites this week on Friday Focus, just in time for Halloween. Enjoy!

Friday Focus 10/09/09: 10-in-1

I’m doing something different this week on Friday Focus. I found one site with ten different styles on the same content (plus one homepage). Each one tries to match the visitor’s mood for the day. It’s also a good way to showcase one’s design repertoire. The designer also employs many interesting techniques into each style, so be sure to check all of them out!

Friday Focus 04/10/09: Dark Rainbows

Rainbows are typically loud and attention-grabbing, but these sites have toned down the explosion of color to bring about a more modern look altogether.

Friday Focus 01/23/09: Illustrated Mountains

Let’s take a look at websites that all use illustrated mountains (or are those hills?) in their designs. See how the sloping sceneries change with each purpose and mood. Welcome to this week’s Friday Focus!
