Robert Bradley

Robert Bradley is a designer who is also a musical artist. His designs come from "Haw Industries" in Knoxville, Tennessee. His illustrator is, Tim Winkler. I like this person, because after looking at his website, he is a designer who is a lot different from my taste, so I really learned a lot going out of my comfort zone and researching. The reason why I say that he is out of my comfort level is because, I like bright things and like everything to look fun. If I used black for a website, I would deffinately put more color to it so it adds more personality.

Black and White Photography: Virtually Grey-Robert Boynton

I thought this was a pretty neat website to look at because it reminds me (kind of) of the website that I am doing for my project 2...(mainly with color scheme). This website is titled, "Virtually Grey" and it is a photographer's website. His name is, Stephen J. Gledhill. He is a photographer that has been taking pictures for 37 years, "mainly pictures that are black and white." What I like about this website is that, being a photographer, and taking pictures...I love black and white photos....they seem to stand out better and it always seems like it captures the moment better, and it stands out to me. Looking his pictures on his website is very inspiring and he does a good job capturing the life that happens around us. I have taken screenshots of both the home page and the about page, to view the whole website the address is down below.

Inspired Designer: Richard Boynton

Richard Boynton was one of the co-founders of Wink Designs in Minneapolis, MN. "Wink aspires to impact commerce, as well as culture by creating, reasonating relationships between people and products. I like Richard Boynton's work because in the example in the Communication Arts Magazine, he does posters for the TCM channel and he uses old time movies, for example Audrey Hepburn. This designer I think is similar to this "Black and White:Virtually Grey" photography site because it shows the like in the older days, black and white photography is very popular, and a lot of people use it. It makes me appreciate how people lived back in the old days where black and white photography was very popular.

To learn more about Robert Boynton, there is a website that you can go to. I don't think this is his own website, but it does give out good information about him. The link is down below.

The New Yorker: Typographic Website-Marie Lessard

I was looking up Typography websites, when I happened to stumble across this site. The "New Yorker" is a very popular magazine that has a lot of interesting typefaces that it uses. It doesn't really tell who designed the website, but I can tell that it took a lot of time and effort to accomplish. I took a screen shot of the website, and the image above is one of their artistic designs. There were a lot of "New Yorker Magazine pictures in the, "print" magazine, this included. So seeing the design in the magazine is what inspired me to put this on my blog. To view the "New Yorker" website the address is down below...
