Hi folks,
I've been working for some time on a new website, which Ray asked me to design in return for the lovely razors that he got me.
So now, as a target group, you are kindly asked too see the beta version and feedback will be much appreciated.
The top still lacks some graphics, I need a nice photo of a shaving setup, unless Rays comes up with some other idea maybe.
In general, I designed the website to mimic the look of old papers, from times when shaving with a straight was natural. I'm a big sucker for this aesthetics, as well as for old prints and printing in general. So it is made to look like printed on an old, battered press.
It wasn't intended to look like a modern website. However, maybe I got too carried away with the concept? Is readability OK? Doesn't it look too gloomy with all the shades of gray and brown? As Einstein once said, 'Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.' This applies to design suprisingly well. Maybe it's too plain?
Here are the pics (I don't embed them this time, watch them at 100%, so click this tiny "+" sign):
