Re: The Current Stance in Webdesign

Well...

For starters, Design elements are moving towards a lot more 'traditional' design styles. Use of Font / Typography are very important.

'Web 2.0' as a buzz word for modern website design, and gets thrown around a lot. It basically equates to a clean, css styled design with lots of white space with attention to typography. Other design elements include subtle gradients, large headings, bold colors that work well together, and javascript effects.

Take a look at Web Design from Scratch - Free web design course, web basics, web page layout, free web design tutorials, design case studies, and web design examples for a good resource for web design. W3Schools Online Web Tutorials is a good coding reference site.

Re: The Current Stance in Webdesign

Doesn't 'Web 2.0' refer to the evolution in user generated content? Or is it both?

Re: The Current Stance in Webdesign

Well yeah its both. The term is used very loosely, i was referring to it in the design world, but your right, it is about user generated content.

Most clients want a 'web 2.0' look, if there is such a thing, and I believe I described it to the best of my ability.

Re: The Current Stance in Webdesign

More trends, which i've noticed recently, are moving towards transparency and rainbow / prism colored backgrounds.

Take msnbc.com's header as an example. There is a rainbow light effect behind the content with transparency in the page content to connect the two.

Here's some good rainbow / gradient designs:
Retro Cosmic on the Behance Network

There are other examples and i'll try to update this soon.
