Design Practice 2: Interactive Spaces: Inspiration and Brainstorming





I am looking for inspiration in a number or areas of web design, obviously I'll analyse a few completed online portfolios which impress me in the beauty and creative department, but I will also be looking for basic, minimilistic and easy-to-use portfolios in terms of navigation, language, communication and being aesthetically pleasing to the human eye, mainly for use in designing my basic wire frame. I will also look at existing company logos and taglines that create unique personal branding.
