Within the music industry there is a great variety in terms of the quality of websites. Some bands have excellent, creative websites, and others have sites that are not so friendly for visitors. In this post we’ll feature 35 websites from the music industry. Some are band websites and others are involved in the music industry in various ways.
Well-designed e-commerce sites can provide a more enjoyable user experience, and they can also be excellent sources of design inspiration. Of course, usability is far more important than appearance when it comes to creating a user-friendly e-commerce website, but having an attractive and usable site is a great combination. This collection is intended to showcase some e-commerce sites that have an attractive design.
For the first part of this series, please see 50 Inspirational E-Commerce Website Designs.
Last month I published a collection of images for lighting inspiration. Since there are so many excellent examples of creativity with lighting effects, I decided to do this follow up. I hope some of these can be a source of inspiration for you in your own work.
Over the past year and a half, I have published four collections of inspirational websites with a minimalist approach to the design. Since more great websites of this style keep appearing, and since readers continue to show an interest in this style, here is the fifth edition. You can see the first four parts here:
A few weeks ago I posted a collection of 25 websites with lighting effects. While these sites can be excellent inspiration for working with light effects in Photoshop, they’re not the only source of this type of inspiration. You can also find some great pieces of work by simply browsing through graphic design portfolios. In this post you’ll find 50 examples of inspirational lighting effects.
One of my favorite styles of web design to take inspiration from is the magazine style. Creating a well-designed site that looks good, allows for good usability, and features a lot of content without cramming items onto the page is a very difficult task.
Blog theme designers can often put some of this inspiration into practice in their own work, as blogs often face the challenge of displaying a lot of content while still trying to look good.
Artistic and creative websites with interesting background images and/or headers seem to be more and more common all the time. I’ve done a few roundups of this style in the past, but great new examples keep popping up, so here is part 4.
Although most websites use dark text on light backgrounds, but sites with dark backgrounds with light text can be very striking when executed effectively. In the past, I’ve published two collections of great dark designs (see part one and part two), and here is part three.
Lighting effects are often used in modern web design to give a site an interesting and different look. Several months ago I published 40 Photoshop Tutorials for Lighting and Abstract Effects, which includes plenty of tutorials that can help you to get this type of look in your own work. Now, I’d like to share this gallery of sites that are putting those techniques into practice.
Many e-commerce websites aren’t the most attractive websites. There’s often a lot of clutter with little to distinguish the design from any other site. Of course, selling products is more important to an e-commerce site than having a pretty design, but these 50 examples show that some e-commerce sites display excellent design.
