I like highly interactive websites with a lot of graphic, animation and video experimentation. So a good website for me is to have an interesting narrative and fun to play.
the pictures above are screen shot of http://www.requiemforadream.com/, follows the narrative of the film Requiem For A Dream, this website is divided into 3 stories of how people fallen into drug addiction. Stylistically, every element in the website is broken but carefully composed together. The first page is a mocking of those pop-up windows of a gamble website, it direct you to the hallucination of winning money and success. There are also secret passages and links. Sound repetitions. Movement and distortion of graphics creates a strange kind of aesthetic. the design firm of this website receive attention for creating this website. It was a break through of internet art at that point of 2001. see other web design firm www.sofake.com create amazing websites that test the limit of what programing, interactivity and graphic design and do in the confinement of borrower window.
although i think these website fulfill the criteria of good web design and web-based art, i do aware that they are just entertainment and commercial products. If other more informative, educational website, like the example below can be more simple, in their web design, it could be more accessible.
Thus, I think bad website design is there are too much focus points and information on one page. if a page is divided into 3 columns plus there are menus for 10 options for you to chose from on both top and bottom. that kind of website is very confusing for me. thus, i tend to neglect information altogether.
