Website of San Francisco Museum of Modern Art is a good sample of interactive design.
The site is divided into 4 sections with 4 different colors: the front page with red, information pages with green, pages for membership and educations with blue and pages for the exhibitions and collections with orange. Different color schemes make the pages look interesting and impressive. Layout, especially the menu buttons are consistent with slight changes in the positions. However, layout in the same session keeps the same with the positions of the text and images, font sizes and the color scheme. Consistency helps the users to navigate the website without confusion, while simple, clean look of the pages with well designed layout, logo, font, white spaces in between the text and images makes this website very stylish looking and user friendly.
The color schemes of each section are very well managed. For the front page, red is good choice, since it is very outstanding and catchy, which helps to draw people’s attention to the site. And because red is outstanding, de-saturated colors (mostly black and white) are used to the images, to balance the color vision of the page. The same color balancing strategy is used to the rest of the pages as well.
Well managed colors, layout and white spaces make the images catchy while the pages don’t look crowded even thought there is a lot of information being presented in there.
