The Design Element

I know that I have said it before, but illustrations that are fully integrated into the design of a site can a page to life in a way no other asset can. The samples provided here are fun and full of life. And even better, they stand as visually distinct sites with very little similarity to sites we are familiar with. It is this uniqueness that should draw us to the style. Its ability to create a totally unique experience is invaluable in a medium where it is far to easy to blend in.

For some reason, all of the graphics on these pages are just stellar.. but for some reason the content layout is totally neglected. Most of the time, it´s just a flashy header, or some blog graphics. The only real awesome integration I saw was the Meomi site and the Alamo Basement.... which, if I´m remembering correctly, is a Pee Wee Herman reference.. I might be wrong. Nice cateogry though, thanks for sharing!
