Head Up in the Clouds: Web Design that Uses Sky Elements

It is always amazing to designer incorporating different element of nature in their designs. This time the inspiration is cloud, sky and blue palette colors. In this post we are featuring some really beautiful website that used sky, cloud images and illustrations in their design.
Some of this website used stock images and some of them used vectors or combination of both. Nevertheless, the outcome is very professional and fun to see.

    Even 10 years ago was a good phrase for bad designers “if you don’t know what to draw – draw clouds”

    I don’t know…. these are nice, but they are (mostly) just the designs of web-designers and marketing/creative companies. I’d like to see skies used for sites that aren’t by, for and about designers.

    In studying to be a good filmmaker, I’ve heard you should visit an art gallery (instead of focusing solely on watching films). I’d say the same is true of gleaning inspiration for web-design. The last place you should look is a web-designer’s personal site. It’s a bit of a circle jerk…

    I love the Barn Festival Bob Gard design, The use of colour is lovely and really suits the plain style of the website. Pacific Ohana Hostel Is a well designed website too.

    Its so interesting how a cloud backdrop can be the basis for some many individual and expressive headers for websites, from Yodaa’s typical scene to Pixels more fantasy setting.

  23. August 24, 2010

    Funny to see an article about this as our website uses sky, tree and bird elements: http://www.double-sided.com/
