As more and more graphic designers and illustrators gain web
design skills, illustrations can increasingly be found on the web. UK
designer Mike Kus showcases his 10 favourite examples of websites using

canvas to design on. There are different considerations when designing
for the web compared with designing a magazine layout, for example, but
