The environment has seen some serious media attention in the past year or so, celebrities trying to save the environment, and super retail companies offering environmentally safe bags instead of plastic. The environment has had a great impact on us recently, and it’s not shy to the web.
When would you have ever thought that, you could feel so refreshed and peaceful while looking at a computer screen, surrounded by the mounds of papers on your desk. Web designers are using nature to inspire their web projects, this trend/theme seems to give the user pure joy and happiness. I know when I see a site with great bright blues and green’s with clouds and leaves.. I love looking at it and I can’t help but to feel so refreshed. Another element in nature inspired web design is the levels. Many sites have 3-4 background levels that create an underground scroll, for example; Clouds > Grass > Dirt > and whatever is after dirt! I really had a lot of fun working on this post.. I hope this trend carries on!!

Thanks for the inspiration! I like this style, and I’d like to throw one of my own into this mix – it is a site I designed for Urban Bridge Church. It tries to blend Urban elements with nature and a bit of whimsy for good measure.
