Ray Ban

I like the intro to the Ray-Ban website. Really colourful and fun, plus it goes with their new colection of colour-rimmed sunglasses. A cute touch was the "feed the chameleon" once you enter the site. really random, i cant imagine where they got the idea from.

Brand Associates

A website i love bye a graphic design company in Bahrain. I love how it goes off the page and then zooms back into the section you want. It's not easy to follow any you mite need a bit more patience then you want to have for a site, but it shows that the company has got the creativity and skills.

Louboutins

Christian Louboutin is a footwear designer. Since 1992, his designs have incorporated the shiny, red-lacquered soles that have become his signature. I'll admit it's very "girly" of me to be posting this on my blog in my Design category, but to me Louboutin shoes is one of the greatest pieces of art in the fashion world today. It's so interesting that just the addition of 1 colour, changed the whole look of the shoe. Apparently Louboutin's goal is to “make a woman look sexy, beautiful, to make her legs look as long as he can”. To be honest i don't think I've ever seen sexier shoes than his. The history behind the red soles is that while Christian was working on a prototype of his design in Paris, he loved the color of red nail polish someone was using near him. He quietly put this color on his shoe and ..just with that.. he created fashion history. At some point he thought to use different colors on all his designs, but when he saw how the red looked he knew that it was it. By just adding the 1 colour on the bottom of his shoes, he turned them from any other designer footwear to icon pieces that can be spotted from a mile away. I also really like his logo. it completely suits the whole brand identity, its so classy and french, and i think its timeless. i dont think a logo like that would go out of style, for designer shoes.
I went on the website, and like many other designer brands' sites, it was really cool and properly developed to be completely relevant to the brand image. I love how the image of the shoes walks up to whatever you clicked. the sound effects for that and for the intro of the site makes it more interesting. Some parts of it are quite wacky and weird, but still very relevant.

"If you dare"

This is Christoph Niemann's myspace. Bet you can't stay on it for more than 5 seconds! I thought it was really cool, even though I don't think anyone would be able to go through it, but its an example of how an artist can turn everything that's theirs into art, and can express themselves in everything they make, even something as standard and simple as myspace

Website's TOV

I like websites like this. The kind that are kind of funny but in a simple way. It's that kind of tone of voice that they have that makes them more natural and less robot/computer-like. When your on the computer most of the day, whether its on facebook or researching or whatever, its a little refreshing to come across something like this on a website.

Not your average shopping site

A really creative idea for a website. Open in it, then wait and see what happens.

At first glance it looks like any normal shopping site.. second glance maybe your thinking, why is this site selling scotch tape .. as well as cake ?? Then it begins. It's so weird how the page scrolls down on its own. That to me, is thinking outside the box (for a website). Really cool.. Although it doesn't serve a purpose in particular, but does a concept/design need to? Not really. We're just used to websites with a certain use. We're on the internet everyday, surfing from site to site, that we might forget that websites can also be a form or art. It's nice to come across an inspiring and different site once in a while, for a change.
