Website Main Influences

I like the design of this website. I think that the little use of colour within gives it a subtle effect which provides a neat yet cutting-edge look. This is the kind of look I want to achieve within my wesbite for my product. I like the way the text and images are set out as it ensures there is plenty of space within meaning that everything is not 'clammed together'. Similarly I like the design of the navigation bar along the top of the page. Again it is subtle and gives a neat appearance to the webpage. I like the way that the social network logos are the same colour as the rest of the page, E.G in this page the main colour scheme is black and white and the logos are changed to black and white. I will do the same for my website but instead I will change them to the colour scheme of red and white to match the Sunderland-themed colour scheme of the rest of the website. I will also look to emulate the way the masthead is positioned in the corner of the page. It is both dominant and subtle at the same time.
