THE GOOD:
Behance.net is a great example of a website built for creative professionals looking to connect, research and inspire each other. Not only is the content of the site useful, the overall design of the site is easy to navigate. The homepage has multiple images, little advertising and concise text copy. 
The inverted pyramid levels of information allow the user to navigate to more specific subjects, again with clear navigation buttons at the header. In the example below I have linked to Creatives in Graphic Design
THE BAD:
yayeveryday.com/ is a blog featuring pictures, links and videos on a daily basis. Although the simple and clean design is at first appealing, the content remains inconsistent and not very useful. The format of the blog is frustrating and the navigation only consists of arrow buttons. 
The implementation of headlines and subheads for each day or link would improve the site's usefulness. The pages are overwhelming and do not provide the names of designers and artists. Not only would this help those particular creatives for engine ranking, it would associate the work with the firm, photographer or artist.
