"Don't make me Think!"
wow what a simple yet hard to grasp concept, too many times I find myself trying to create a lavish website or design that has so many facets that in the end, it fails. It reminds me of when I was in shop class and we were told to build a model house. I decided to build a "dream home" I quickly saw the errors of my ways as my project got out of hand, too many walls, not enough space, to large and unwieldily. I received a poor grade while other classmates who had chosen to do a smaller house received grades to match the craftsmanship of their well though out smaller homes. My house didn't make sense, looking at the base construct with out a diagram people assumed the giant room was the living room but was in fact my bedroom. My kitchen was small and long and resembled a hallway rather than an actual kitchen. I made mistakes by trying to hurry up my project and cutting too fast. In doing so I created walls that were a little too short and made rooms lopsided.
In this way people tend to forget to keep it simple for a website or design in general.
I think a new innovation that is simple is paralax scrolling. I enjoy how to just keep reading we just keep scrolling. one website that reflects that is Boy-Coy. This is an incredible website. Using flat design and the right amount of scrolling and movement it gives the viewer a sense of 3-D.
Another website I found to be beautiful as well as well designed with simple navigation, wonderful pictures and a no nonsense in the idea of minimalist is Blackhouse.
The last one is another paralax scrolling called Huge. Using blocked groupings and paralax scrolling it is another strong website in both design, layout and easyiness on the eyes.
