Web Design Trends

Monday June 16, 2008

The "Web Designer Wall" compiled an interesting list of websites that follow what they consider the current online trends, from vintage styles to script fonts to zig zag patterns. There's certainly a great bunch of sites in there that will provide some design inspiration, and the list does capture a lot of what is going on with web design these days.

I do think it misses on one key style, which are the "web 2.0" sites of large fonts, clean designs and gradient backgrounds. While I do think that's being a bit overdone, I appreciate the usability of the web 2.0 sites much more than the slow-loading flash sites of web days past.

What's your favorite (or least favorite) web design trend?

There seems to be a lot of script and vintage type being used, but I think if type if being used well, I don’t really mind.

The paper clips sort of get on my nerves, though. :)

My Favourite would also have to be the handwritten/sketchy look. I recently created an article about this style of graphic design. Check it out here:
