Website models (Mascot edition):

I am interested in creating a mascot to tie my website together. The only problem is when creating a mascot for one audience, it does not cater to all the others. I also need to research art styles for my mascot as well as having one that is appropriate for all audiences.


The art style of the Firebug is effective and has a nice 3D look to it. but I am looking to create a mascot that has a range of available expressions and movements to bring character to the website. The website it's is not very interesting or nice to look at.

The mascot for Stickybeak is very fitting and has quite a cute art style which is very simplistic. This sort of art style is the sort of style that is close to my own. The color scheme of the website is a good set of colors but is too simple in it's design. 

The Gadget-O mascot is super cute and could have a few varying facial expressions but not as many as I would hope for. I like the website having a left hand navigation bar, allowing for the mascot to be a main feature of the bar.

YoDiw has a great idea using not only the mascot but themed objects for the buttons and other pages, this really ties the whole website together. The design side of the website isn't that interesting.

The Zaarly home page is beautiful and I would like to design a front page that is fully a themed image featuring my mascot. Mine will need buttons and such but this is a very nice design choice.
