Antonio Jorge Goncalves is an interesting artist who sketches and drawings of people in subway stations around the world. He stays at each city for an average of 3 weeks, and produces around 300 drawings from each trip. His website is visually interesting, because it works as an alternative map of subway-systems, creating his own to connect different cities together. The website thus become very interactive, while also displaying his artwork, bio, and information about the project in the forms of subway stops.
Eugenio Merino's website, though very simple in design, is highly fun to play around with, incorperating his artworks as the central figure that word bubbles string off of to guide you around the site. The first one that I had seen was that of his Mr. Melon, a playoff of Mr. Potatohead. Through simplicity, Eugenio is able to have an effective visual element, along with interactive element that makes his site interesting to explore.
Wow, Gonclaves’ website is amazing! It definitely shows off what he does as an artist, but the interactive nature of it is what makes it really good. The fact that it’s built not only to showcase his work, but also to have people experience the work makes it a fun and interesting place to visit. It’s a great example of how website design is definitely an art form.
