[|Vivienne Westood]


 * This is the website for UK-based designer, Vivienne Westwood. When entering her website, you are given options along the bottom toolbar of the page and in the form of photo rollovers. The purpose of this website is to introduce the designer's back story, her past collections, online shop and contact information for further questioning or career opportunities. Each page has a similar theme of collaged photo rollovers. The photos presented on each page show different runway models, accessories and Westwood herself. When you rollover each image, the category is written in white, sans-serif text with a filled in colour silhouette of the photo. Each page has the same background, toolbar, and logo in the same place to keep consistency. The composition of this website is effective because it is very characteristic of the designer, who is known for her eccentric personality and designs. Also notable is a clock with spinning arms that comes up when each page is loading. This clock is representative of the designer's current Worlds End project, which can also be accessed by the bottom toolbar. Overall, this website has easy usability and effectively shows the personality of Westwood.

[|Head2Heart Campaign] >
 *  This is the website for the Head2Heart Campaign. The goal of this website is to provide general statistics that have inspired the campaign, provide information on the campaign and different causes, provide links to the campaign's pages on different social networking sites, and give the opportunity for donations. The entire site is one page that scrolls horizontally along a path. The user is able to click on an arrow to bring them to the next part of the path, which provides a new statistic or statement about the campaign and causes affiliated with it. When clicking through the path, the logo of the campaign, the mission statement and links to donating and social network pages remain in the same place. The overall aesthetic of the website is very playful, looking as if it were put together by a child with bits of construction paper. This is effective because the main causes associated with the campaign have to do with providing water and sanitation to children around the world.
