People – especially young people – enjoy the freedom and the indulgence of shopping in order to look and feel good about themselves.

For generations, young women have been leading consumers in fashion, style and cosmetic products while their tastes have set the trend in the marketplace. From beauty products to clothing stores to shoes young women’s tastes and preferences make a huge difference in what kind of consumer goods are available and popular today.

Joost de Valk  makes great use of thin, high-contrast lines that make it easy for the user to distinguish between different section of the page. In the enlarged portion of the above screenshot, you can see that most of the time this contrast is just a lightly colored 1-pixel line next to a dark 1-pixel line.
