The next site I chose was for artist Bob Staake. I’m not sure when I first saw his work, but I really love his fun playful characters, graphic style, and use of vibrant colors.
His site is a little confusing to navigate through. I think this is do to the large number of links scattered throughout the site. Also, the title of his navigation links don’t always give the viewer an idea of to what they are going to be viewing…ex: bob-o-rama, client lobby. Some of his pages are under construction currently (and have been for a few weeks now), which is a little frustrating for the viewer.
As far as the lay out to his site, I think there is too much white space on the top and down the middle of the pages…crowding the left and right sides of the site with links and graphics.
I do like his simple header and the font used throughout his site. Also, I like the idea of having music play as his artwork cycled through a quick slideshow. I’m not sure that this idea would work with anyone’s art…but I thought it fit the personality of his works.
