OnFocus Media – Illustrated Visualization Of Ideas
http://www.cafepress.com/onfocusmedia
This site gets right to the point, choosing not to spend too much time with text and instead inviting me to dive head-first into the designs. The products on this site are split into categories, each represented by a thumbnail image. While most of the categories are typical for an artistic shop – “Animals”, “Sports”, “2007:, etc – the images are anything but.
Right away I realized just how unique of a vision the shopkeeper has with his designs. Each design is complex and mesmorizing with elaborate wisps surrounding the centerpieces. The color schemes are kept quite simple, rarely expanding beyond two or three colors. Sometimes that can cause one’s eye to pass over the design, but in this case it works wonderfully.
Amidst the tangled chaos of the patterns avaiable here, I find that there are some recognizable shapes, such as hearts, building and butterflies. To me, the familarity and the strangeness work together to create pieces that are truly memorable. I highly recommend this shop if you are looking for something entirely different.
