Even though I haven’t been so much into the political campaigns that have been going on lately, I have noticed the interest that some politicians have taken in making a website presentable and attractive to the eyes of the reader, and make it so we as web designers appreciate the effort of their web design team.

I’m sure that by now many of you have seen the web site of the political candidate Barack Obama just to make it clear I’m not trying to endorse any political party. I’m just pointing out the obvious and recognizing the good work of this particular web designing team.

My favorite banner designs in the website:

And some stylish button designs:

Even christmas designs:

All these are some inspirational designs proving that design techniques can be apply in anything including politics

I’ve put together this collection of my favorites brushes, hope you enjoy them and find them useful.

When designing a website, the first thing to think about is what you want to promote the most about your business, or what is the purpose you are doing a website in the first place.

The second thing you need to think about is what colors would represent better your business, believe it or not the color you use in your website can determine the time your readers will navigate your site and decide to come back, but that’s another subject that I will eventually talk about in a future post.

These are some website that have found the key in web design: simplicity. Simplicity doesn’t mean unattractive on the contrary, the best things in life that we consider beautiful to the human eye are simple but well designed.Take as an example nature or a simple photograph of a flower.. it all depends of the colors and proportion of the object.

Without further ado, I leave you some inspirational website for your entertainment

If you are thinking about having some business cards made or considering renewing the one you have now, this is a really cool collection that will get you inspired.
