5 good colour scheme of websites
Wintuk
Click here to see the web
This web main colour is blue, but it wisely use of the changer of colour. It look more like a gradient that it have a deep in it, instead of just a gradient they add some element to the background so the background look more interesting. The house behind the big snow, the colour is so contrast but it still look match with it, it is because if we add some dark colour to blue, blue will change to purple. And for green it actually also a lighter changer of blue. It really consider well in the colour.
Cheestory
http://www.cheestory.co.kr/
This web colour is harmony and pinky, it feel happiness. In the web they use various colour in the character, but the colour still can match nicely with the background. Beside the web 1st view surely will focus on the character then only to the other, they success to create the focus point. The colour of the character combine nicely with the background. Perhaps the colour is the same family so it wont feel too contrast.
Seemydress
http://www.seemydress.com/
This web is selling second hand cloth, but the web colour is really something. See how they introduce their item. In the web user can choose several colour, each colour represent the colour of the cloth, A model will show out the cloth. If user click white cloth, the whole room include decoration in the room will match nicely with the white colour cloth. If you choose red, for sure the room also in red colour mood.
Larplayetas
http://www.larplayetas.com/
This web colour let me feel so relaxing and comfortable. Although it has some furniture, but the colour won't run out much with the main colour. Overall looking at it the mood is good and relaxing.
The game 2008
http://www.thegame2008.co.kr/
This web is about a Korean movie. When you enter the website, i think with the mood, you can actually figure out it is some horror movie.
Beside of the colour, the concept and idea of this website is also amazing. When you click enter the site, it pop out a window and a small animation will take you into the websites. You sure will feel, it is a horror movie.
From black and white to colour mode, awesome website.

This web, i think something do to book, education. The web hierarchy, 1st view is the girl then only to the content. What the girl doing it roughly tell what is about this web. The web is simply nice, comfortable, and relaxing feeling. Beside, the web is using a few flash to make the web feel not so bored. Although many font with different colour but it is consistent when viewing the overall.

Obviously this is a pizza hut website. The slogan with Best Taste Best Moments, sounds like 1 now 1 Nescafe. Hahaha, even the colour mode also look alike same with the Nescafe website.
The website is in Korean language, i think it because their target audience is in korean country. Although is Korean language but for main navigation they have English language to represent the Korean word. For the sub navigation they even provide a graphic image to represent it. The button with graphic image, actually provide online service to ordering pizza but just for Korean country. The background colour in this page it enhance the hot and crunchy of pizza image. Besides the background image is not dull it add some element to enhance the overall feeling of pizza hut.
When you enter the website, your eye surely will see the large pizza image. It actually promoting their famous favour pizza, and let you feel the delicious of pizza but i think add in some smoke will be more delicious. As the main page is just a introduce, the details is inside every button. They even provide a video to teach how to online oder the food.
For sub pages their banner is really caught my eye attention, it because of some little flash then keep attracting me. For content, they even have provide price and some nice food image to approach user to order it.
But for the truth, the sub pages is look more comfortable compare to main pages.
The grid for main page is quite complicated maybe it using flash.
For sub pages the grid is more simple and nice, everything is flash but just content is not flash.

This website is about an international UNIVERSITY(CUFS Cyber university of foreign country) in Korea. It provide various language such as English, Chinese, Korean and japanese and bussiness training.
For the overall view the websites give me a harmony and warm feeling. It comfortable to viewing it, the colour of the illustration mix with reality human it nicely combine together. If they are creating a relaxing and enjoy able feeling, they made it!
Although the website main language is using Korean but they provide other language for non-Korean also, it quite user friendly.( for sub language pages, the website is bit not nicely in create).
If user are viewing the Korean language actually their image it already tell what the button is about. The web even provide the schedule for the school. Beside, the intro of course, it very obvious by just seeing the graphic image.
When i draw the grid system i only found out that this website actually have some technical problem. The copyrights there actually have "contact us" and other button but all is nonfunctional. The main page grid system is a bit of 2 many but for sub page the grid system is more simple.

- Starbucks
-My mission statement to my goal
For sure Nescafe.com website actually have the CI in their website perhaps it not strongly enough to motivate user viewing it. Although it have some good image to hold the content but the website is too red, it really make uncomfortable feeling.
if you view their worldwide side, they have 31 countries to choose. Each country has their Nescafe image, culture and lifestyle but you actually can't find Malaysia web for Nescafe.
So my mission is to help Nescafe Company to create a Corporate Malaysia Nescafe website.
In Malaysia, Nescafe consider as a middle range coffee. In website I will collaborate with Nescafe company slogan, “1 Now 1 Nescafe” and bring out the element and the feeling of Nescafe in Malaysia. Besides showing to worldwide audience that Nescafe is available in Malaysia, it also gives the image of Nescafe in Malaysia, which is the relaxing, stimulating and comfortable environment.

Le chevalier D'eon
Just finish this anime, in the beginning i though is just a normal story anime but in the end actually the anime story is quite complicated and it really confuse me. hahaha, but i love the anime style with their Paris costume. It really elegance and unique costume~
The story begins in Paris 1742, when the body of a woman named Lia de Beaumont is found in a casket floating along the Seine. The only clue regarding her death is the word "Psalms", which is written in blood on the lid of the casket. D'Eon de Beaumont, Lia's younger brother and a knight in service of King Louis XV, takes it upon himself to investigate his sister's mysterious death, along with the strange disappearances of a number of French women.
*The most interesting in this anime is their Poet is a person that capable casting spells and controlling gargoyles, when they casting spell they speak a lot of holy bible rules.
