Livebooks Company

This is a very big Web site that I came across liveBooks.  I linked to it by viewing one of their clients in the HOW October 2009 magazine.  There is some very interesting information that can relate to our Project 2 coming up.  For its size, its layout is really well done.  Its readability is nice and clean and I think they use a Helvetica font for the typography.  Very easy to navigate and the viewer does not get bored at all.  The company promotes themselves well and on what they do.  They provide great examples of work that they have done for their clients. The only negative that I found was that when you scale the browser window, it is not vertically or horizontally centered which is what we were learning in class.

Design Army Studio

I found Design Army in the HOW magazine October 2010 issue.  It is orginally a graphic design studio and have done some great work for their clients in art direction, websites, branding, etc.  They have done very good looking websites for their clients.  I browsed their website and liked the colors used and how very clean, elegant and simple it is.  No clutter at all.  Very easy to read and navigate through.  I believe they use a Helvetica font.  As you navigate, everything is always in the center of the browser.  The company promotes their previous clients web design work with images, but link you to their specific site in a new browser window.
