Mobil Website Interface

Another interface for Mobil, to build the trust image for Mobil, I try to make the website interface resembled a research folder. Mobil user in Malaysia mostly are mature audience where they choose Mobil because they trust that Mobil have the best quality oils. I use research folder to make audience understand the Mobil keep doing research to give the best to their customer.
Please give me comments to make it better! ;)

Websites With Good Typography

1. Switch On

The thing that I like about this website is their clever use of icon in their typography. Even though the letter changed into another object, we still be able to know what the word they want to say here. Simple yet clean and clear, the typography make it easier for user to read. To emphasize/differentiate few parts they either use another color or make the fonts become bold.

2. TAVI

The typography of this simple website catch my attention because of their use of color and different weight in their typography. The different color giving "levels" to each words, make it easy for user to "categorize" the word. The color use also not boring, with pink as the highlight of the usual boring black gray.

3. Simplify Your Work - Microsoft Office


I think in this website the fonts really reflect the theme of simplicity, using handwritten style fonts. The color use of typography also nice, showing clearly the levels. The fonts that they choose even though it's a handwritten style still easy to read.

4. Lectures on Architecture
Nice simple use of typography, especially on the top of the page. Nice, interesting color combination and nice choice in fonts.

5. International Street and Open Air Theatres Festival

This interesting website that only have words inside really play well with typography. Even though all the content are words without images, user still feel curious to browse around the website. The play with typography also very nice, they differentiate the colors, fonts, and size to different "levels" to make us easy to see and differentiate each word's function.

Executive Summary - Mobil

Considering Mobil's purpose to give information not only for customer but also to distributor and business in their website, I'll make the shortcut more visible for each audience (motorists, distributors, businesses). For now the shortcut is very not noticeable, to make it more noticeable I'll use icons and buttons to represent the categories.

There's some misleading information in the current website that make user become confuse, I'll remove those unimportant and confusing part to make user's experience in the website become better and easier.

For the appearance, there will be more interactive flash navigation to make the website become fresher and it'll add curiosity of the audience. The website also will given more solid border/container, current website looks disintegrate and individual-ish.
