65 Beautiful Designed Travel & Tourism Websites

As I start to plan my vacation for the rest of the year I always take a look at websites that focus on that area first. The website can help me with my travel plans and perhaps give me some great web design inspiration. If you haven’t noticed, web designers play a important role when it comes to the travel industry. Nowadays people visit websites or blogs before they even decide where they plan to visit. Tourism websites often place an emphasis on designing a visually appealing experience because it will draw more interest and excitement for the visitors. A great design presents the atmosphere of that destination right away.

The designs involve beautiful graphics, fonts, colors, layouts and web accessibility. In other words, visitors are looking for an immediate feel and impact. So today let’s look at the beautiful tourism websites showcase that I put together. Hopefully this will get you inspired and help you to plan your next vacation.?Let me know if you know any other beautifully designed tourism websites by commenting.

100 Artist Exhibition in Brooklyn

100 Artist Exhibition in Brooklyn

It’s been months since the last time I posted. A lot of things happen during the past few months. I just started working for Disney Interactive Media Group as a Lead Designer. On top of that, I was invited to participated in “100 Artist Exhibition” in Brooklyn. My illustration has been accepted into Ouchi Gallery and I was busy trying to get my illustration printed at CanvasPop.com.

“100 Artist Exhibition” is the first huge group exhibition of the new year at Ouchi Gallery. The theme of this exhibition is a collaboration of 100 artists from Japan and NY, both pro and amateur, and to support them to take a step towards expanding their artist activity globally. This exhibition had already ended, however I did took some photos from the reception night. As you can see my photos are not the best quality, but it gives you a glance of all the beautiful works at the show. If you like arts, feel free to check out Ouchi Gallery for their upcoming shows.

I still buy dvd movies, but I don’t recall the last time I’ve bought a music CD. The reason why I brought up this topic is because I’ve found this really cool showcase site featuring CD and DVD cover art. Check it out at http://www.mixtapewall.com. Enjoy!
