Going through Mike's work is really interesting because he has such a broad range of what he does. Obviously if he is designing a website for another company he has to do what they tell him to do but his work has some sort of consistency. Most of the websites he designs he illustrates by hand the imagery so that there is a handmade aesthetic to it. It seems like he likes to use lots of illustrations and images in his work and has a eye-catching yet simple feel to them. One site he even does a "two color per page" theme where he has a foreground color and a background color. I really enjoy this because it is easy for the eye to navigate around the page.
Mike even did some of his own little illustrations for the Olympics in 2012 in London. He played with the idea of likening the athletes abilities to that of animals with legendary abilities in the same area. I thought this was really neat because he used the same type of hand made illustrations that you see throughout his websites. I really like his work because it is very colorful and artsy yet it is very simple and easy to look at. Even his website is artsy and fun but easy to navigate. He definitely has a style which he sticks to which is using illustrations and color in a simple manner. I think this style might not be as effective if someone were trying to make a web design for a serious company or something that shouldn't be so artsy. But for my interest and for what I am looking into, I really admire his work and his style.
