So I have a client who keeps repeating these two words like a mantra when she describes the look and feel her website should have. But of course she can't point to anything that accurately depicts the aesthetic, so she's asked me for some suggestions as a starting point in terms of stlye.
So far I've come up with
http://www.bacardi.com/#/us/en-u…and
They're really targeting club goers and the club scene in general. It's an energy drink that they're selling.
Anyone else have any suggestions?

Isn't research your responsibility, Groks? Not ours.

Also none of those sites are sexy or sophisticated.

Because nobody here ever asks for help? Nobody is mandated to help me out, it's a simple request.

i did this http://www.smokehead.co.uk/
its for a brand of islay single malt whisky
usually these type of whisky's are targetted at a more mature whisky-loving audience.
the smokehead brand is targetting a younger audience - clubs/pubs - but without going the bacardi "fun" way. style giving it a bit of class and style.
ideally they are targetting the same market as jack daniels

" But of course she can't point to anything that accurately depicts the aesthetic [and I can't either because, so I'm asking all of you to pick up our slack]"

I guess I honestly shouldn't worry about QBN doing your research for you with the quality of sites people are posting here.

Yep, I'm asking for help. You've found me out!
I haven't found a site that nails it yet, and I'm asking for some help because believe it or not, I don't have an all encompassing knowledge of the internet and I thought maybe a community of fellow designers might be have some input.
This site has literally hundreds of threads in it with people exchanging ideas and offering assistance to each other. If you don't feel like taking part in this particular request, fell free to fuck off.

why is it killerqueen that you always show up on these threads if you hate them so much?

Nothing twists my panties like bad taste in design.

energy drink? how on earth can that be sexy in a club? Oh, I get it:
"Pick me up"

Groks, if you had asked us "What do you think defines 'sexy' design, or 'sophisticated' design?" and asked for a breakdown on styles, that's one thing.
But you're saying "Hey guys, give me some links so I don't have to think and neither does my client"

Absolut vodka and barcardi both taste like total total ass, I can't believe anyone ever buys into their bullshit scam of those brands being cool or trendy or a lifestyle choice, or that in some way you would change people's perception of you and possibly get more sex if you could be persuaded to give them your hard earned money in return for some paint-thinner-tasting fluid that's been sat in industrial pipes and barrels for weeks. Seriously it's total crap - these things taste like shit. Alcohol is a means to an end. Most of it tastes awful with a varying range of things added to cover up the taste so that you are able to get it into your brain to get drunk.
It's just so much bullshit - lifestyle choice - brand alignment, endless asshole marketing - what a total crock of shit.
