25+ Inspiring Designs by Land, Sea & Air

Published July 14th, 2008 in Galleries

I constantly come across excellent designs that feature various elements of nature and I’ve been collecting samples for a while now. Some use photos and others use illustration. Some feature bright skies and clouds, and others feature mountains, water, or grass. Feel free to list your favorites in the comments.

Excellent collection. I love finding websites with natural elements like these. I’d have to say my favorite is the second one (Adit Shukla’s).

Manu July 15th, 2008

Nice collection
I’m working on a sky/air based one.

you have a great knack for finding websites that are incredible looking and really have some quality content as well as interesting things to look at.

Gray & Sons December 30th, 2008

I wish we could vote on which one of these is our favorite. The Anchorage, Alaska website has the nicest look to me. I was lucky enough to travel around Alaska by cruise last year and could not beleive how beautiful the area was.

Wasn’t a big fan of all of the jewelry shops littered around all of the cruise stops but then again, I’m used to buying preowned jewelry from trusted dealers than at some cruise port.

I love looking at these kinds of nicely designed sites. However, now I’m inspired to revamp my site as well! Thanks for the good finds, keep ‘em coming!

Awesome and inspiring. This allows people to tap into their creative abilities.

Bene March 12th, 2009

Nice collection for inspiration. I like the first one.

I just love this one Walters & Walters, but then again all of them are just stunning, they are not over down and they are not too busy as some designs can be.
