12 Water Inspired Web Designs

Inspiration   June 25, 2009  by

Looking to redesign your portfolio site or a new client site? Well consider a “Waterworld” type theme! I’ve always been a fan of the deep blue sea and this type of imagery can bring up a lot of great and positive emotions in a viewer. So whether your website is directly related to water or not you can still harness the power of mother nature to design a cool water inspired website. Check out the cool water themed websites below for some inspiration if you plan on tackling this theme for your next project and feel free to link to any other cool water heavy website designs you know of.

    I’m not sure if water works for me… Maybe if there wasn’t so much beach being shown, but it’s creative for sure… Still cool to look at

    Great list, Different to the usual!

    My favorite which has been around a while is the design disease site.

    A few good examples of why its is sometimes important to use illustrator as well as photoshop.

    Thanks
