I personally love the style. Carsonified has always done a good job with it. I also found a local agency using the style very nicely (squarefactor).

I love this style!
The German telecommunication company o2 (http://www.o2online.de) started a campaign using sketchy style… “what’s in your mind when you are on the phone…”

See the commercial (in German):

I really like the sketched style, I’ve never done it in my work – but I hope to do it for my personal website. I like the red nose day site mixing the sketch style with a more corporate traditional layout.

As a Designer, I really like these kind of stuffs in web design…It’s a real fun to design site with sketches, illustrations, grunge & hand drawn stuffs. I also agree that it’s common these days but the real challenge is to use these stuff in balance with your informative content.

One of my friend designed a site with heavy grunge and hand drawn stuffs for his portfolio but sadly the bounce rate of visitors was about to 50% (resulting in redesign process)

Hopefully this artistic trend will continue this year also

Thanks,

He he … what’s “black and white and doodled all over” … sounds like a bad newspaper joke :)

I love sketchy, grunge, or hand drawn stuff. Even though there’s it’s quite common now, I think it makes a site very personal feeling through it’s casual or even sometimes sarcastic nature. Plus, it’s waaaaay fun for the designer to make stuff like this ;)
