Studio Design Blog

www.joshuadavis.com is the website of a web designer by the name of Joshua Davis that uses flash to create his website. In his website he provides links to works he has done in New York in addition to works he has done in Amsterdam and Colorado.

I chose Joshua Davis's site because of how he's made his website very interactive by providing links to other sites that are related to his work. In particular, I also like the overall simplicity of his links to other sites (even if there are extra links on his website).

One particular work that I like in his website is the one where he's showing his art work in New York using flash content. When you click on the link he provides to his art work that was displayed in New York (if you can't find it it's the click here link within his statement: "I also have some work on display here in New York at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum. The show is the Museums National Design Triennial, "Design Life Now", which will be on display until the end of July. click here for more info.") Basic components of it is similar to what we have worked on in class. But some of the advanced things I notice with it is how he's making it change to the next picture after a certain amount of time has expired and allow the viewer to look at the pictures at their own pace without the use of a button.

Last but not least, the fact that Apple has written a profile about his work gives him some sort of credibility in case a viewer of his site questions about his work. His biography can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joshua_Davis_%28web_designer%29
