My brother John did something pretty dope on his blog. When you visit his page it immediately pops and catches your eyes. The black background with the yellow as a pop up to introduce your page is pretty cool. The thing that I would take from his page is exactly that, use the contrast of the colors to make everything POP more. When you first look at his page you already know where he is from! You see the statue of liberty, point blank in the middle screen. And if you knew John you would understand because he loves NY so much. With me being from Ohio, I think NY is a different country. Everything is so fast paced, the people are different, and the culture is so different. Check his page below and you will KNOW exactly what that means.
