Our comments:
Being clearly influenced by the great zeppelins of the 1920s and 1930s, the design of GRAF d'Sign creative boutique is a homage to that era with a twist: you will see a lot of striking hand-tinted photos with references to pop icons such as the Deathstar or UFOs. There are also various interesting animations: some are subtle some are not.
