Inspiring Websites

http://lab.andre-michelle.com/tonematrix

This first site doesn't so much inspire me so much for its design aspects, but I find the interactive part very successful. I believe the matrix is flash based and most likely runs off fairly simple code. However, if you go play around with it, I bet you will waste more then five minuets doing so! I find coming across little sites like these really bring out the best in the web and it makes you wonder how you could turn someone else's creativity into a bigger project of your own.



http://www.theovenreinvented.com/

This is a pretty neat website about something not so interesting in itself, ovens. I really enjoy the mouse response/interaction which makes a normally dull experience, such as shopping for ovens, into something completely enjoyable. The super sleek interface also helps sell the item which is portrayed as a sleek and sophisticated device itself.



http://www.mono-1.com/monoface/main.html

This is a pretty clever website I came across. The first thing I like about it compared to the previous site I talked about, is the fact that it is for pure enjoyment. Also if you go to the root site, mono-1.com it states the idea of simplicity and the beauty it can hold, which is something many people often forget. To many times webpages get junked up becuase the designer feels if there is spaced to be used, then use it.
