Motion and Perspective in Web Design: 36 Interactive and Interesting Samples

Inspiration   September 1, 2011  by

Depth and movement can be synthesized by using several design elements. Many websites use parallax scrolling; Others use flash and animation in order to create movement as well. What ever the technique, faking depth (and adding moving elements) helps make websites more interactive and more entertaining. (It doesn’t necessarily follow since the content of your site is not dependent on your design.)

It takes a lot of time and energy to create such sites, not to mention a lot of creativity. Today, we have found 30 interesting web designs that we hope will inspire you in creating your own. In truth, there are some sites below that are so engaging you’ll end up smiling or playing around. Enjoy these sites and tell us what you think on the comments below.

Leah is a graphic artist, pen and ink enthusiast, muralist, poet and blogger. As a child, she has adored the pen over Barbie. She can write backwards and knows that bit of info has nothing to do with design. She's been writing regularly for YouTheDesigner since January of 2011 (not backwards!) and has loved every second of it.
