Style
Style is one of the key elements when it comes to Web Graphics or any form of Design. . . and here I don’t refer to style sheets… although they present a basic element of Website Design today.
Style has to do with your “Secret Garden”. . . it is something you recognize immediately – and as such it’s important for your web presence and especially for your Branding.
Style expresses who you are.
Style – What is it?
Style – what is it?
We know the expression “style” from musical compositions and linguistics. Yes, it has to do with composition.
We know it from stars… think Michael Jackson, think Tina Turner… Madonna… Queen. Each has or had their particular style – which resonates with us or it doesn’t. It has to do with resonance.
There are distinctive architectural styles over the centuries and epochs that shaped them. We distinguish it easily in Visual Arts, where style refers to either the aesthetic values followed in choosing what to paint and how… or the techniques applied in doing so. It has to do with aesthetic values, definitely.
And of course, style is the determinating factor when it comes to fashion design. A legend like Coco Chanel was – and will always remain – its icon.
Style as a Creative Expression
According to Wiki, Design it refers to “…the process of creating something”. Hmmm, I’m not too convinced here, but definitely, Style is a creative expression.
An expression of what?
An expression of an individual… creator? Designer? Artist?
An expression of time, an epoch, its people?
Here we have another important element: Time!
But then, style is timeless… and perhaps herein lies its secret: to express timelessness – the essentials of being – within Time and with the right Timing.

When creating the above color composition from an original picture from my garden, I thought of our German partner Ute Schaedler.
