TDC Type Competition

WOW! was my reaction when I came across this site. This website is for TDC 61st annual type directors club call for entries. This is one of my favorite site which I bookmarked. I really enjoyed this, not only its amazing to look at but it is fully responsive and fun to navigate. As you click on the site it starts with a after effects animation to some may be distracting and may overwhelm the audience but in my opinion it wasn't. Your eye directly leads to the left to read the important content the automatically know to scroll down to view the entry form and as you keep scrolling down the is an awesome effect to transition to the next page which I thought was pretty neat and rare many people do on sites today. The only thing I didn't enjoy with the color choose (just my personal taste) and how heavy the text for the content. But overall they won in my taste.  I recommend the class taking a look at this website.

I choose this site because of its responsiveness but because of it design layout. It is a site that shows the top Info-graphics that has won awards. The content is straight to the point and is nice to view the different types of info graphics many designers develop today. This website also shows how to embed a info graphic in a blog. It actually gives you a HTML code to insert in your HTML page. i thought this was helpful for anyone who looking for this code.

As was reading the Lurzer's Archive I am came across the top webdesign they have chosen. In my opinion thought this was fun to interact with as you are browsing the website. The only reasons this attracted my eye is because of its illustrations the whole site carries. To me it is a bit to busy and has to much going on and the back to top navigation is poorly designed. You have to scroll all the to the bottom to get the back to top page. It should have a couple through out the page. Overall I think this page is nicely illustrated but distracting. Its creative but loses its focus by looking at this.
