25 Examples of Light and Space Effects In Web Design

I’ve collected some great examples of space and lighting effects that are quite commonly used in web design these days as inspiration, usually accompanied by vivid colours and streaks of light, which is currently one of my favourite styles.

If your interested in creating space effects you might want to check out the space and planet Photoshop tutorials post I put together.

Do I like this style of web design or do I find it too over powering? I do like the background style and design, but feel the rest of the web page, in most of the examples, are a little too busy, then detracting from the powerful simplicity of the good minimalistic design/s in the background. A little less text and reducing of other smaller imagery would be more effective -not totally eliminating text of course, due to it being needed for SEO purposes, just perhaps moving most of it down below the fold.

I love how a background can change the whole concept of your design. I think it is the most important of all things when designing a website
