Module 2: activity 9

This is my favourite:

Darktechdj background image:
http://www.myspace.com/darktechdj.

I like because: the actual piece of art work its self first. Then it has great dynamic movement displayed in a very clean clear monotone hue. All creating an exciting feel that you are about to experience some great dynamic music on this site.


The following two I also like - but a bit less purely from an artistic point of view?

Kanvas Interior Art background image:
http://www.kanvas.com.au/.

I like because: The minimal background is great use of white space and monochrome while quietly showing that this is a designed artistic site. Wisely used to allow the individual pieces of art work to stand out when viewed.

ThinkQuest background image:

http://libary.thinkquest.org/3120.

I like because: The image of out in space/the universe/infinity is similar

to the feeling you perceive when you are thinking deeply in your mind probing the universe on your quest for answers - it is infinity. Good connecting theme of visual and text.

Also interesting that although the 'thinkquest' background appears dark black and dense on screen it is only 2kb in file size where as the minimal background of Kanvas Interior Art file size is 21kb. 'Darktechdj' background is largest file of all - 120kb.
