Alright, I will start this off by saying Apes do not wear clothes and if they ever should, the world will drastically change as we know it. If you have seen Planet of the Apes, you know what I am talking about.
Designing a website or messageboard is something people really think about. To me I really don't care what a website looks like all the time. I will admit, if I go to a messageboard with pictures and interesting colours, it will make me want to go back to the site again. So in some respect, yes, I do care if a website that looks nice or not.
When the internet first came about, I don't think anyone really thought about what it looked like. I think they only cared that it was there. In time though, graphic design, typography, industrial design, etc, started to become more popular. I agree with the idea that today, web design's intention is for the masses of people that go on the web. We are part of generation that wants things to look good and that includes the web. A website is a reflection of the person creating it, be it a personal website or a company website. The bottom line is you want it to look good.
Looking at websites now, I have started to question why someone would pick that colour, or even pick a certain style of font. However, I can't really say bad things about the website seeing as how I have never created one, so, if you don't like what you see, make your own website and make it something you will like.
The bathing ape makes its presence known toward the end of the article and I am relieved that he is just part of a fashion label. Who would have guessed that a bathing ape could be so popular and have so much style. Nigo knew how to sell the product because he knew what people would be drawn to. Apparently, a bathing ape does a pretty good job.
A site that I believe is very stylish would be http://www.perezhilton.com/. I think this one is a good one for style because of the colour he uses. You can't miss pink. His is very unique and I feel that his website is very much a reflection of himself, which to me is very important to a website.
For design, I like http://www.abc.go.com/. It is easy to access, fun to look at. It has links to forums and the show's websites. This is an excellent example of a design for a website.
Websites are far more complex than I realized, well apart from the whole HTML thing. If you want it to look good, you do whatever you can to make it appealing so that everyone will want to watch it.
