Interested in Web Design?
Inspiration has jumped off the web itself to help make it prettier. In the article “Fashion Websites: Trends, Showcase, Interviews,” in Smashing Magazine, writer Julia May “spoke with two developers whose websites differed in style and implementation to find out the considerations involved in designing a website for a fashion brand.” Fashion websites are a continued expression of the fashions behind the cover webpages, yes, but also an expression within themselves. I’ve come to the conclusion that artists build foundations for other artists to build beautiful work. Opportunity is knocking!
Today, there are many different fashion trends when it comes to designing a website for a brand, or anything of interest, really…
Look for clean and contemporary or bold and bright. Minimalist is another option that unclutters the image and draws in viewers without distraction. In one example KOKOKAKA cleverly combined HTML format and Flash to bring Burberry online to life. http://www.kokokaka.com/
The Australian designer Josh Goot cleverly lets visitors to do the work for him. The interactive site moves with the presence of the curser sliding over the page. (My personal favorite.) See why? http://www.joshgoot.com/
Simple, yet smart, play with color! Miss Sixty did.
If uncluttered, artistic, and alluring is your goal, take a cue from the Indian designer Allan Solly. The page jumps from the screen in a 3-D effect. Hand drawn illustrations mimic real life. If you are a serious web designer, Smashing Magazine suggests BC Web Wise. http://bcwebwise.com/
