Thinking 'Outside of the Box'

I have produced several designs as shown above, and although they each have their advantages and disadvantages, the structure remains largely the same with the standard headers, footers and columns. Perhaps most websites follow this convention because it is the easiest to use and most recognisable, however is it the most visually engaging? To break this convention, I have produced a family of designs that take a different approach to websites.














This is the first of the new designs. It is the most 'undeveloped' of this series, but I have taken a radical step of abandoning the bright colours and adopting a much more sober approach. The menu has also moved to a right alignment, with disjointed lines to draw borders.
