Website Research

 

 Website Research

I found some designers' websites as examples to create my own website. There were many designers who have their own websites, so I chose 'Philippe Starck' who is a famous interior, furniture and product designer among them. The reason why I chose him is when I looked around his website, he included all of his information on his website in detail and his website is not only simple but also intense by using black and white images.





The image below is the menu page of his official website. 
At the first, I looked at the lovely logo on the head of the page. It is written just 'STARCK' in thin font, however, it looks quite strong by changing the color of the spelling. In addition, I think Philippe Starck is one of the most famous designers, so his price of fame also makes the logo more be looked powerful.


The background is a video that is moving slowly, which makes the mood of the website calm and strong. He also divided details into big categorization clearly. I determined that I will try to use a video which is concerning my progression route.

At the first, I saw his biography page. He wrote about him in detail, however, I did not want to read all of information when I looked at this page because it was too long. I thought I have to introduce myself briefly but I will put essential information about me.

I entered his portrait part, and I could see many images which were not title or any explanation.

Thus, I could not recognize the images mean what and what is related with the images. It was quite confusing to me. I think he and also I need to explain about the images and his works.

It is easy to contact to him by using 'Contact Box'. I think it is really good idea because people can contact to him without complicated steps. There is also no risk to be exposed my personal information, so I will use this contact box in my website. I also need to think how I can use the Contact page usefully.
