VECTOR WEBSITES CREATED FROM ILLUSTRATOR

At school, I was given the task to find 2 of my favorite vector websites from the internet. After exploring some sites, I stumbled upon some great sites. The first one, called Kopla, is a business interperter that helps agents be guided to the future of problem solving. Their website design features a scroll down site with a somewhat animated mock up of a moving background. My favorite part is the beginning where the word,"KOPLA", aligns together. The second site, Envira Media Inc, is a marketing company that helps small businesses advertise new creations with social media. Envira specializes mostly with websites and Twitter ads. My favorite part about the website design is that it has a sideways garden, which in my opinion symbolizes the growth of a business. I also like how the heading text has different colored text, showing emphasis for you and Envira.

Here is a preview of the websites:

WEB SITE TIPS FOR ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR

Today, I found some tutorials on how to make website designs using Adobe Illustrator. In these tutorials, simple tricks allow eye popping features appear on any part of a web page. Some of these tricks include rounded pixels for a bubbly font, creating different patterns and symbols saved as a swatch to be used repetitively, and forming accurate grids to avoid a blurry design. Some web designers also use Fireworks to make websites, but depending on the version used, things can get messy. There have been reports of crashes, inefficient modular designs, and an unorganized symbol library.

Here are the links for the tutorials:
