1. Jason Mraz
Has my vote for the most creative design. Especially the discography as an animated timeline. So slick! What do you think?
2. Katy Perry
Fantastic use of one-page scrolling parallax effects (layered scrolling animations). Full screen pictures really open up the design. I am really impressed by the awesome interactivity with this design.
3. Justin Bieber
Simple 1-page design as a launching page for all of his social media sites including Youtube and Facebook.
4. Justin Timberlake
The Tennessee Kid has done it again! Classic look, but only achieved with a top notch minimalistic design with a ton of subtle usability features to boot! Makes this a top favorite.
5. Ellie Goulding
Design match. Perfect example of marketing and design coming together. She just used her album and promo art in the background. Same color scheme and photos from the same photographer brings everything together.
6. Rolling Stones
7. Dave Matthews Band
8. Rihanna
9. Usher
10. Lady Antebellum
11. Neon Trees
