Pharrell Williams and Design

Pharrell Williams:
Both his band's website and his clothing company have incredibly well designed web pages as you can see after you click the links below. Especially the band N.E.R.D. has a very cool visual right now when you run the mouse over the face in the center of the screen. Pharrell is also heavily into design of all sorts himself.
