My Designer Inspiration
My favorite web designer from the AIGA list is Jared Dias from New York City, New York, USA. His site designs have interesting visual elements that do not detract from the overall legibility of the site and the overall sites them selves have great User Interface and User Experience design principles. The reason I like this so much is I am a firm believer in keeping a site simple while still keeping it interesting or up to modern day trends for design appearance. Jared Dias is a web designer who mostly works with WordPress sites. In fact, most of his published work are themes for WordPress.
I am inspired by the functionality and aesthetic of his designs they maintain the simplicity needed for a site to be usable but also allow for a great amount of creative freedom on his part for the imaging and other visual design he implemented. I also like that he is not limited to one type of website. On his Aiga design page he has several different types of sites listed, everything from Ecommerce to Construction. This is what I strive for in the future, to be able to apply my skills to a vast variety of websites not just any particular type. I think that this level of diversity makes him a higher valued designer and eliminates most of the limitations for the type of work he can accept. (Dias, ND)
