Who’s in the mood for some red designs this week? Let’s start the show!

Welcome to the first Friday Focus of the year and the new decade! Here are some fantastically designed websites that should inspire you to be more daring and adventurous than ever starting right now. Ready?

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

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!

If last week we had clouds, this week we have planes! We’re keeping things up in the air this week on Friday Focus. (Still lots of clouds though.)

What is it about clouds that instantly transports us to a happy place? This week on Friday Focus, we’re featuring designs with white, fluffy clumps of water vapor in them.

This week on Friday Focus: websites featuring worlds that will fit right in your browser. It’s an interesting trend and a good exercise in 3D modeling and illustration.

Digitally recreating light is a pretty challenging task, and this week we’re going to look at websites that manage to use this effect brilliantly.

This week’s Friday Focus features designs with pretty little birds in them. (No, this isn’t another collection of Twitter-related sites—only two of them are.)

Design usually means arranging things in an orderly, meaningful manner, but this week we’re throwing that out of the window and going for chaotic and whimsical sites. Happy 4th of July weekend, everyone, and welcome to this week’s Friday Focus!

Nature-inspired websites come by the dozen these days, but this week’s featured designs up the ante. They’re really lovely, I promise!

This week’s Friday Focus features different institutions of society as design inspiration for the featured websites. Did they make you do a double-take too?
