I published an entry a few months ago which featured websites with inspiring and creative headers and footers. Here's the second instalment based on the same theme.
Gigi and Lulu
http://www.gigiandlulu.com.au/
This marketing website's header contains an animated bird, which flutters about the header area. I also love the colours used: dark brown, pale blue, and yellow. The bird and cage illustration is cute, and this simple website design does well in portraying 'less is more'.

Schachtel Praline
http://pralinenschachtel.de/
This header on this website gives it the personality it needs in the form of an illustrated park scene.

Grzegorz Kozak

I love the design of this website; the design is centred around a lighthouse. The header features the top of the lighthouse against a starry sky, and the stars blend into blue. The footer creatively features the bottom of the lighthouse and also extends to a view under the ground. It's a cute and creative illustration.

Morphix Design Studio
http://morphix.si
This website features three separate designs, scrolling to the middle design first. The design starts with a blue sky and clouds before extending to landscape level, then to underground level.

Bad Health
http://www.badhealth.nhs.uk/
The website's header contains an illustration of different characters to give the website personality.

Tropikalny
http://www.tropikalnyogrod.pl/
I like the colourful flowers in the header of this website.

Sprocket House
http://sprockethouse.com/
This website has an old-fashioned feel and uses mock paper, photographs, and a patterned background.

Racket
http://www.racket.net.au
A curious header illustration creates a unique design for a website.

Twither
http://www.twither.info/
Animated clouds move across the header, and the footer contains a landscape illustration.

LaunchMind
http://www.launchmind.com/
London landmarks are used on the footer of this website, along with some illustrated characters. I only wish that they had spent as much time on the header of this website. The footer comes as a nice surprise when scrolled to the bottom.

The Rissington Podcast
http://www.therissingtonpodcast.co.uk/
I love the theme of this website; the header and footer are done well and consistent.

Lignetreize

Another example of a website with a header that starts in space and ends on Earth. I think the footer is done well on this website, but I feel that a little more design and illustration could have been put into the header to show more consistency.

whoah this blog is excellent i love reading your articles. Keep up the great paintings! You realize, lots of people are searching round for this info, you can help them greatly.
