Using nature concept in web design
Designers choose all kind of concepts when designing their websites. The concept of NATURE may sound to you a little corny or overused, but I found some great examples of nature inspired web designs – check out this post.

The color brown
Brown is an earthy color that represents simplicity, friendliness, and dependability. Brown is my favorite color, I use it everywhere.
Many of my clothes are brown, my all time favorite jacket is brown, My apartment walls (well some of them) are brown, my Twitter bacground, my desktop wallpaper and many other things in my life are brown. There’s something about this color. To me, there’s something very domestic and warm about brown. Many people say that brown is a boring color and that it reminds them of their auntie’s wallpapers.
I never actually thought about using brown in web design, I guess the reason for that is people’s opinion about this color and their connotation with it. Today i found a great post with 50 beautiful brown web designs – This really changed my opinion about using this color in web design. I think these websites’ design is really great! There’s another nice website with brown web design, it’s called Max Brenner – an Israeli chocolate chain with stores located all over the world, their shops are also designed in brown, and this was actually my inspiration for designing my own home walls.
About
Hey Everybody!
We are Sivan and Alex , Instructional Design students in Holon Institute of Technology (HIT).
Our main interests are Instructional Design and Web Design – those two can go along together at many cases.
In this blog we want to share and expand our knowledge about those 2 topics. Also, this semester we started our Seminar project, the subject we chose is Twitter and Learning. Both of us love Twitter and we immediately saw the great potential of using it for learning, so this is actually another topic we’ll be talking about here.
Feel free to join us, we’re actually pretty nice people
