Inspiration.

I'm constantly on the tinternet looking at websites and consciously and subconsciously evaluating them, firstly whether it looks good, it has to attract my eye first but thats not good enough if it doesn't function well, so functionality is second, then obviously content.

I prefer websites that are constantly updated, so I go back more often.

For this part I'm just going to look at the competition, other designers and communicators websites.

I really like her website, its simple functional and easy to navigate, all the nesessary information is there. I like that she has a blog on her front page that keeps you up to date with whats shes doing.

Another simple website, purely a portfolio website I like the way the menues are displayed when links are clicked.

An illustrators website, looks like a blog and inorder to see all the work (although impressive) you have to sift through his whole blog like site. This is a good and bad thing, if you just wanted to see the work its alot of effort, although if you sift thought it you learn how he works and how he creates his pieces which was valuable.
