The use of texture was the main focus this week. That being said, the Peter Nappi website redesign by Cabedge is a beauty. I always admired Cabedge’s simple approach to web design. The choice of color, photography and rough graphical elements throughout this website really enhances the authenticity of the brand, giving the feel that the site was “hand made”, similar to their products. Very well done.
