Modern Barber websites like the ones I have already looked at, are very dynamic and images are used a lot in these. Large images and text are used to show the brand. 

The Valet, London –

I looked at this website to give me inspiration for the way I will present my brand on the website and a familiar theme with the modern barbers websites are the large image and the bold text. Also the simple colour pallet and the bold colour which is similar to the logos of the businesses. 

 

The black and White colour theme and the one bold colour is shown and the images as the background is used to show the brand and the products and services. 

I like the way in which the colours are simple and therefore look sleek and the brand is modern with inspiration from the traditional style of barbers. 

I also wanted to look at traditional barbers websites and see how they differ in the style and the brand.

The difference in the websites will obviously depend on how old the business is and how they decide to promote their brand. 

Stamford Barber Shop –

This barber shop is in Lincolnshire and therefore, it isn’t a main city barbers, and therefore, the website design is more to explain their products and the brand. 

 

This website is very simple, but it is to provide the audience information about the brand and the services. Although, there are similarities with the colour in the modern barbers and the traditional barbers. 

The website for the modern barbers in London is very stylish and is used to promote the modern image of the brand. Therefore, the style is very dynamic and there is movement with the scrolling type of website.

I want to create the website like the modern barbers, with the scrolling design with the traditional font and the style of the font of the logo and brands. 

Having created the logo for the brand, I then started to look at the ideas which I could incorporate into the branded website and how this could work with the logo and the image of the traditional and the modern. 

I started by looking at some of the modern barbers websites and see the similarities between the brands and how this is reflected in the logo and website design.

The large imagery and scrolling design of the website is modern is very digital, however the type and the images are vintage looking and very traditional. 

There is simple colours with one particular colour for the brand and the logo. The back image is also very relevant and the opacity of the image gives the website a sleek look which is professional and the font is bold and stands out in the page.

The same applies to this website in that there is one main image which is the background and the font is bold with the image. There is also the colour which is mainly black and white and there is one clear colour which stands out.

The same main image is used in this website and the sleek look of the font and the colour makes the website look professional. This works with the target audience and the professional male. This also has the scrolling animation of the website and there is a smooth style to the pages and the design. 

I like this sleek and simple design and this is because of the images and the colouring of the websites. I would like to look at this design style as this seems to be the generic design for Barber websites.
