25 Dec 2008

Using parachutes/hot air balloons in website designs has almost become a trend now. Even though this is not a common element, there are quite a few websites(which I have listed below) that might contribute to evolution of this new trend.

I have also included a FREE parachute graphics package(Fireworks png) at the bottom of this post.

1. Aurum3

2. Bootb

3. Andre Augusto

4. Dezignus

5. FOWA

6. Galaicofolia

7. Timothy Blake

8. Little Red

9. Pegadaecologica

10. Ryan Scherf

11. The Circumference

12. A2design

13. International Comedy Film Festival

As I’ve mentioned above, here goes the freebie. This would be helpful for those who would like to follow the “Parachute Trend”. Enjoy and Merry X’mas!!

   But of course balloons and parachutes are trendy (or should be) I catch myself all to often doodling balloons, simply because they are fun to draw, and I guess they also symbolize some kind of freedom

    Nice obseravtion
    They are more like hot air balloon that the parachutes though , whatever.
    They suit the sky/cloud/rainbow trends, also represent freedom.
