We’ll be looking now at a great collection featuring the best fashion designers’ sites. The tendency in this kind of sites, much similar with the photographers’ sites that we’ve seen before, is to let the images of the designer’s creation speak for themselves. Therefore, the photos or videos of the fashion collections and fashion shows tend to expand all over the screen and become, again, the main element of the site. The rest of the site graphics is subtle and elegant most of the times in order not to compete with the collection images on display.

Of course, there are also some sites whose graphics are densely drawn or collaged, but in a way that is closely related to the designer’s personal style. Most of the sites are in Flash and they are quite dynamic but the main feature is combining the moving video image with the site graphics in an interesting and original way. As a bonus, in this collection, you’ll have fun looking at the best collections in the fashion industry at the moment. The sites displayed here are glamorous examples of graphic design, combined with perfect fashion photography. Enjoy this excellent display of the best fashion site graphics!

The snapshots gathered within this collection refer to a category of web designers that is willing to invest a great deal of resources in the looks of their pages. Ecommerce sites are very elaborate and striking original. Actually, these are the sites which participate and win web design contests which ensures them not only prestige – by the seriousness of the presentation – but also a greater number of potential clients which are put face to face not only with magnificent looks and presentation but, willingly or not, also with the concept behind the design.

Of course, what is so provocative about this concept is the interactivity. Once loaded, the page provokes us to explores its corners, if not even invite us inside a miniature world where we are free to explore all corners at wish; usually this liberty is granted once the page has loaded (it might be a bit frustrating for users with not very advanced machineries) and faced you with a demonstrative “performance” which is meant to grasp your interest.

Designing a city logo can be a difficult but rewarding process: when doing this one should keep in mind that, unlike company logos, a city logo involves a huge cultural background and will be representing the image of the city on many levels – from the political to the social and economical one. Therefore, a careful consideration of what the image chosen for the logo will symbolize and entail is absolutely necessary.

First of all, this sort of logos originate from the old city heraldics, and they still have a strong resemblance to them: when designing a city logo one should be aware that, much like in the old heraldics, each visual element is expected to be a symbol for something related to the city, and that this logo will become the image of the city and it should be very effective in essentializing its main features or its general cultural representation.
