    • I really enjoy this design element, it has successfully landed as a great design trend both on and offline. To make this effect really pop out, most of the sites use a dark colour scheme and let the elements glow. The glowing effect revolves around a certain design element that has high priority real estate, a mind blowing header image around a logo, maybe a possible message that is important to the site. Let me know what you think, I have seen many tutorials on creating this sort of effect. Enjoy, get inspired and creative.

      Beautiful, stylish, but I find that I get sick of these styles way quicker than other lighter ones.

      Nice! Been thinking of redoing my website in a glowing, retro 70s kinda style and this is a superb inspiration for me.

      I especially like the ‘Vogue’ and ‘Alberlo Design’ sites.

      Hi there. It was probably hard to find all of these sites as this style isn’t really ‘in’ right now. Many of these I didn’t like very much as it isn’t the look that I like, however, I was surprised that quite a few caught my fancy.

      Thanks for posting.

      I really like the colors that were shown in the websites. Some sites took a bit too long to load, but in the end It was worth it. Thanks for showcasing them for us! :)
