Whisky Websites

I want this websites to portray the rustic feel that Whiskys and wines often strive for when they market themselves. I have looked at several different websites to this how they demonstrated the origins of the product through their own websites. Here are just a few of those i have looked at:

 The Glenfiddich website had a really nice feel to it, something for me to aim towards I think. This was brought on by the oaky colors and use of the mysterious background imag. I also loved the use of the dark greens with the browns.

The Jack Daniels website also maintained its herritage through the website via the images, font, colours and illistrations on the pages.

I especially liked the menu that dropped down to reveal itself on the roll over revealing much more of the website.

 

I loved the website for Talisker which straight away gives the user an idea of it origins with the images used, I think to text works really well in this design too.

I really like how the information is displayed in this website, there is a scroll bar in the content box so that the user is not overfaced with a lot of text and the dimensions of the page remain the same even if there is more text on certain pages. This is something I would like to incorperate into my design.

 

My favourite by far was the Jameson website which was awsome, This is the home page which features a cube that responds to the mouse' touch and will navigate to the a page deppending on which side is facing you when you click it. A navigation bar also features along the top.

This is the 'meet the family' section in which the Jameson selection is displayed, this bottles rotate really nicely and when you select one it brings up all the information about that particular bottle.

I like how the text is displayed in these sections too, it is really clear and I like how the bottle stands next to it as if standing to attention as its details are displayed.

This sections, I thought, is brill, it tells poeple how else they can enjoy Jamesons, I love images used, the liquid bursting out of the glass, it makes it looks very refreshing. When a drink is selected, information comes up (in a nice fluid motion) which can be printed off which is great for accessability.
Overall, this website was fab and I think there is a lot of really nice touches that I can try to encourperate into my designs in the future. Check it out at: http://www.jamesonwhiskey.com/age_verification.aspx
