Learning Task 10: Background Image Examples (Part 1)

For this part of the tenth learning task, I was to find three examples of websites which I personally thought had an interesting appearance. Below are my examples:

I decided to screenshot this webpage because of the colour combination and the representation of the slogan. Due to the North Melbourne Football Club slogan being 'Shinboner Spirit', I felt that the gestures and facial expressions shown in the background image show the determination and liveliness of the team, which tends to draw the reader's attention to the information.

I selected this website example because of the bright contrasting hues of purple and because in many of the Cadbury commercials, the theme of chocolate magically floating and falling from the sky was very consistent. I like the web designer's idea of the chocolate floating with parachutes as it applies an almost ethereal quality to the design.

This webpage screenshot was chosen due to the complementary colours and the stylistic appearance in the background image. By using a complementary colour scheme and designing a photo collage of a variety of zoo animals, this welcomes the reader. In addition; re-sizing and composing the photo collage so it act as a half border allows them to include as much visual information as they can.
