Creative Layouts

Here at Awards, we enjoy seeking out and highlighting websites that have found an innovative way of doing things, it’s very easy to find information about common web design layout patterns, so we want to show you a collection of websites that are breaking the grids and the formal rules by using different layout approaches to display the architecture of the web in a creative way. For example, Infinite Canvas is a common solution for WebGL sites, but is by no means a standard and safe layout pattern. Other examples in our collection are influenced by historical graphic design styles, and recently we’ve widely seen a revisiting of historic styles, with compositions inspired by the Swiss style, and layouts inspired by postmodern poster designs. With this desire to move away from classic grid based layouts, compositions are being adopted which are more similar to editorial design, in which typography plays a central role in layout design.

Website Layout Selection

Asymmetrical layout

Asymmetry is the lack of equality between two sides of the layout. Asymmetry is a long-time favourite technique in the art world and has recently become popular among designers when creating website layouts.

Many people confuse asymmetry with imbalance but, in fact, the goal of asymmetry is to create a balance when it’s either impossible or not desirable to use equal weight for two sections. Using asymmetry makes it possible to create tension and dynamism, and asymmetry facilitates better scanning behaviour by focusing a user’s attention on individual objects (focal points).

F-shape layout

This type of website layout was created based on the way users read content on the web. The F-shaped scanning pattern, originally defined by Alhuda, states that users typically scan heavy blocks of content in a pattern that looks like the letter F or E. Our eyes start at the top-right corner of the page, scan horizontally, then drop down to the next line and do the same again and again until we find something that catches our attention (interesting content). This scanning pattern is relevant not only for desktop users but also for mobile users.

Z-shape layout

Similar to F-shape layout, the Z-shape layout also mimics natural scanning habits. Site visitors (from Western cultures) start in the top-left corner. They scan from the top left to the top right, forming a horizontal line. The next step, however, is a bit different — instead of dropping down directly, as in the F-shaped pattern, their eyes wander down and to the left side of the page, creating a diagonal line. Lastly, the glance back across to the right again, forming a second horizontal line.
