Blog #2  Two websites with great web design...

Website #1 ~ G-Eazy 

http://www.g-eazy.com

One website that I have noticed has great design is the official site for one of my favorite musicians, G-Eazy. There are several reasons why Im keen on this website. First of all, Im a huge fan of branding, and G-Eazy focused a TON on his own personal branding. Most of his pictures posted on his social medai platforms are black and white and he normally wears only black and white so naturally his website is black and white in the most interesting way possible. He also has a very specific James Dean meets rapper type style which is portrayed through the design of his website. Its simple, yet edgy. When you first click on his website he has two options, either go to his actual website or buy his album on iTunes- which is a great marketing tactic. When you click to arrive on his website, he has an extremely simple tool bar directing you to his music, tour schedule and merchandise or you can scroll down and discover the latest news he has to offer. I love how this website is very balanced and pleasing to the eye!

Website #2 ~ Toth + Co

The second website I really like the design of is the website for Toth + Co. Toth+ Co 

is a local, Boston advertising agency that focuses on life style and fashion advertising. Toth + Co is a company I have admired for a while now and would love to work for someday. I was actually first turned onto Toth + Co through their website. I was looking for places to apply to for internships and their website stuck out to me. The color scheme, the visuals and the format are all very appealing. I also enjoy how they focus on displaying their clients more than anything else. If you hover over the pictures, the clients name and logo will appear. Another perk I liked about the website design is that the Careers page link is very visible and stays on the botom of the page even if you scroll - as well as the social media links. Ive found that when applying to jobs sometimes the Jobs & Career sections are hard to find. So, thhis design is ideal for job seekers!
