I really like the style of the reiko comics in this website. They are funny in a very morbid way, and are well drawn. I like how detailed they are. The color scheme is very dynamic; bright red blood with everything else in black and white. The animations are good too. The actual animation is quite simple. The character movements are somewhat simple and repetitive, but it also kind of works in a minimalistic kind of way. They do allow for more humorous situations that could not be conveyed in a single panel comic, such as the double dutch animation. The website itself doesn't have anything fancy about it, but I like how it doesn't distract from the actual content. It has a very straight forward layout. Overall, very interesting and well done website.

There were many interesting and outstanding websites; it was very hard to choose one. This site advertises the energy drink called burn.The use of sharp lines and that keep overlapping, and crossing each other, makes it go with the beat. The lines really helped creating the graphic and motion throughtout the page. The image is in the center and has a huge contrast because the web is black and then the effects are in red, orange, and yellow. The text is on the right side and enlarges when you point the mouse at it. I saw a lot of repetition of sharp lines. Overall excellent use of graphic showed a lot of movement, and nice negative space, which made this site very powerful in my point of view.

This page is designed for the singer and songwriter, A Fine Frenzy. What makes this website special apart from the music and band itself is the graphics used to enjoy viewing the website. In graphic design, I believe that it’s more than art, but a way of communicating to the audience through aesthetically pleasing images. It’s more like a form of advertisement without the ridiculous phrases. Each link carries the same consistency in their design with the style, color scheme, and proportions, yet has their own minor modifications. The images never stray from the subject and theme in any of the pages. There are interactive images, and independently moving images. Being able to interact with the page creates more excitement and appealing. The arrangement of this website also succeeds in not cluttering the page to where it’s illegible.
Digital art can be found anywhere on anything, not just as serious pieces or art, but also on every website you see. It just depends whether the designer is actually skillful in using digital media or not to be considered good or bad.

This website is from studio 7 designs, which is a design firm based out of Canada. Their website drew me in with it's ability to fuse modernism and organic objects together. The way that they use the organic objects in the website brings to life the message they are trying to sell. The organization throughout this website shows an understanding of how important it is to have a pleasing layout. The way page is laid out allows for the eye to move freely. Also the use of the color adds to the difference, for example the bleak color of the background adds to the modern feel, and the bright natural colors adds to the organic fool. I really like this website because it shows how design is supposed to be. It is supposed to appeal to the senses and have a fresh look on design, and I think this website does just that.

We Work For Them
We Work For Them is a site run by Michael Young and Michael Cina, two young and well-respected graphic designers on the internet and in the real world graphic design communities. Michael Young is a personal favorite of mine having been familiar with some of his work since I picked up my first Photoshop book New Masters of Photoshop when I initially became interested in the field. Their collective ability has been contracted by huge corporations to design commercials and other advertisements and they've also done video installations, digital art for the web among their non-commercial ventures. Their website brings together digital video, abstract fine-art and subtle music/noise to coalesce into what becomes some other entirely new medium. It's not a movie or a commercial or a traditional still image... it's not a song or a music video but something wholly different and it's this innovation that inspires me as an artist first and perhaps commercial graphic designer next.
