50 Red Web Designs to Inspire You

gmuller — Mon, 24 May 2010 04:19:35 +0000

A few weeks ago, we showcased web designs that made use of the color yellow. Along those same lines, this week we are focusing on another warm and bold color, one that definitely has lots of impact. This inspirational showcase is all about the color red. Red can have several meanings, and a few of them even contradict one another, such as love and anger. Despite how the color red is being used in a design, there is one thing for certain – it can definitely get people’s attention. So much in fact, that studies have shown red to cause a person’s respiration rate and blood pressure to increase. Notice how these 50 web designs use the power of red to strengthen their message.

50 Green Web Designs to Inspire You

gmuller — Mon, 03 May 2010 05:42:30 +0000

A few weeks ago for our Monday inspiration I posted a collection of yellow web designs. So today, we’ll focus on it’s neighbor on the color wheel…green. Although some shades of green can be considered warm, it is a cool color that is primarily used for its calming attributes much like blue, and like blue, green is often associated with nature. With so much focus lately being put on the environment, we see green being used in this capacity, but it can also be used to signify jealousy and envy. Nevertheless, green can have many different meanings. So here are 50 green web designs to help you see how it’s being used, and to help you get some ideas of how you might use green in your next project.

gmuller — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 04:40:16 +0000

Today our goal is to help you overcome your Monday blues with an inspiring collection of blue web designs. Blue is a color that represents the oceans and sky. It’s also a great choice in web design, even if you use it only in a couple elements or for the whole page. You can use a gradient of different shades of blue, a blue textured background, blue typography, or blue icons. There are tons of cool combinations you can do to give your website a stylish touch. For me, blue recalls freedom, freshness, elegance and style. So check out our selection and start thinking about using blue in your designs. Have a cool blue site to share with us? Comments are yours!

55 Inspiring Examples of Gradients in Web Design

gmuller — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 04:06:09 +0000

Gradients are a great way to add interest, color, and even depth to a web design. You can use the same color in many shades, many shades of many colors or several other combinations you may think of. You can go linear or radial. The point is that gradients are beautiful and can give your website a very unique style. You can use a cool gradient for the whole website design, or only in the header, footer or just in a couple elements of it, but I’m pretty sure about one thing: combining the right colors and shades will make you a gradient lover! You will start using gradients all over, maybe even at your dinning room wall.

So here is our inspirational selection for this week: beautiful gradients in web design. And don’t forget to tell us if you have some samples of gradients to share.

50 Yellow Web Designs to Inspire You

gmuller — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 05:41:52 +0000

Color is an important aspect of web design. Good web designers choose color carefully to serve a purpose. Sometimes that purpose is to be bold and get people’s attention, and yellow happens to be an excellent “attention getting” color. Yellow is a high energy color that can evoke mental activity and bring on cheerful thoughts.

For your inspiration, we’ve selected 50 web designs that use yellow effectively. You will notice that some use it to highlight the most important parts of the design, while others use it more abundantly for a bold effect.
