http://syropia.net/ I think that this portfolio website has a really unique look to it. The colors are soft but there is still contrast. I think that the text that was used is bold and different compared to the usual text that is used on websites. Also the combinations of different fonts keeps the look interesting.
http://www.orangeyouglad.com/ This website for a design studio in New York has a very soft color palette. While many colors are used, the colors are soft and not over powering and I think that it makes it easy to look at while still grabbing your attention. The fonts are bold and easy to read. Over all, I think this design is very effective.
http://www.michaeljfox.org/ I think that this site for Parkinson’s research is very well designed. From the layout, to the graphics, to the color palette, everything just works very well together. The graphic used is large and really catches the users attention when they get to the main page. The splash of orange really adds a pop of color to what could be a really dull looking website had they just used the grey, black, and white.
