Research into other Artist's Work

Eric Jordan- Animator
www.2advanced.com
Influenced by games, futuristic view the personality of designer is shown through site. Heavy flash work and too much is presented through every page. No such blank space, though every page does take some time to load up. More or less every page as a bright light source in the image used as background which may be suggestion the power or will of achievement. There is a lot of information on every page and that really confuses me but it is an amazing site, as I’m pretty bad in using flash.

Brendan Dawes-
www.brendandawes.com/
Old designed very confused and disturbing site from my opinion, the music and the person talking is so irrupting, navigation was so hard to read. I have nothing more to say about this site apart from one thing, I will NOT be visiting this site again.

Bruce Mau- Massive change
http://www.brucemaudesign.com/
He designs to make world a better place, which is obvious by visiting his website. There is a video as the content of the page giving message. Simple webpage with a lot of blank space can be seen. Designers have their own purposes to design some or let’s say most designers design for money and some for personal reasons. Now Bruce Mau thinks he can change the world through his work and he is working towards it. Having messages read and seen through art are more likely to be noticeable rather than plain text.

Jonathan Barnbrook-Graphic designer
http://www.barnbrook.net/
Barnbrook is a Typeface designer. A personal site like a portfolio containing the artist’s work, I don’t know when was this site really put on web but seems like a pretty old styled. It may be because of the style of work or either the layout.
Barnbrrok believes designs are weapons to change the world and I agree with him because visual messages have more power or effectiveness than the plain text.
