The world of Web design moves quickly, and as always, it’s in a designer’s best interest to stay ahead of the curve. If I suggest something to clients it isn’t because it is the now but because it will be the NOW. The Confluence of Design Despite having more design options and greater technological flexibility, most Web designs are starting to mimic each other. How many times have you seen a homepage with a big, bold, yet simple white text on a darkened or blurred-out background? It is ridiculously common. Is it because people prefer to copy old ideas rather than come up with new ones? Is it because it’s simply the most effective design from a marketing perspective? The answer to both questions is probably yes. Either way, enterprises will face a difficult decision to either run with the crowd in the established grooves of Web design or go it alone in some bold, new direction. Long Scrolls When I hear clients request no scrolling I am always confused. Especially with your home page being your most important page of your site. Folks will scroll much better than click so think about that a bit. Thanks to the ease of scrolling on mobile devices, long scrolls have cemented their position as a necessary web feature. This feature stands to become ever more popular. Increasing Minimalism This is been a dominant theme in design for the past several years, but especially on the Web. Phrases are getting shorter, navigations are getting narrower, pages are getting smaller in numbers, and images are getting less obtrusive and more suggestive. Saturated and Bright Colors I am not talking about colors that will hurt the eyes or cause reliability issues. Colors are my thing. If I suggest colors vs. the colors you are wanting to use it is for a reason. I am always thinking about what the majority will like not what one person will like. Friendlier Loading Options Nobody likes to wait for a page to load. Page loading times can not only negatively impact Google search rankings, but also ensure visitors leave without accomplishing their goal. Less Dependence on Clicks Clicks used to be the ruling force in the world of Web design. Getting a user to click on a website element was akin to securing a real interaction, meaning a site was effective in this specific instance. Which takes us back to Scrolling. Love the scrolling vs. the clicking. Social Media Icons Must have on every website. I could go on and on about this but the fact is every business needs to be on social media. Don’t have time? Make time. There are online scheduling services you can sign up for.
The ‘flatter’, the better As predicted in our 2014 blog, flat design has become a big hit since Apple’s launch of iOS7 in 2013. There is a lot to be said for honest, simple design and nothing says it more than the use of clean, raw shape and colour. I think there is still room for an even flatter approach with more impact and solid shapes to come throughout all things design. Less really is more, which leads nicely into our next trend prediction… Get in shape! Shape is beginning to come to life in the form of icons, logos, backgrounds and repeated patterns in both web and print. From subtle elements such as bullet points and sliced corners to the more impactful die-cut brochures and background patterns, it looks as though things really are shaping up. Custom illustration & interactive animation We are currently submerged in large, crisp, photographic backgrounds and banners. It seems that bigger is better, especially when it comes to web design. Volvo’s website is a prime example of this with a large background image and overlaying menu and text, which as a designer, I think has become a bit of a cop-out. However, the biggest problem with this large, photographic image trend is that it has become so widely adopted making it very hard to be original. No matter what colour and contrast tweaks are made, it is still the main ingredient of the design and no more original than the last. It is because of this that we predict an increase in custom illustrations and interactive animation in the hunt for originality. Typography The infamous designers’ default font, Helvetica, has become something of the past! Typography has become quite a skill, particularly in logo design as we see more and more customised fonts being introduced in order to represent a company’s brand as accurately and uniquely as possible. The majority of logo design today consists of just one piece of typography, which often serves as both the icon and the brand name. From hand-drawn decorative pieces of art to the subtle modifications of an existing font, typography has become a much bigger influence in branding than ever, and we love it. One of the greatest improvements in typography has been with the wide range of web fonts that are now available, largely thanks to Google Fonts. Designers are no longer constrained to the likes of Arial for compatibility with the web, which can only mean one thing… more scope for creativity! Colour The Pantone ‘Colour of the year 2015’ has been announced as Marsala. Pantone have said: “The impactful, full-bodied qualities of Marsala make for an elegant, grounded statement color when used on its own or as a strong accent to many other colors”. This fits perfectly with the trend that is currently unfolding; rich, bold, intoxicating colours. A good example of this can be seen in current interior design trends which illustrates where we might be heading… back to the 80s! Retro is not a thing of the past Retro influences continue to evolve. The only difference is that we may be shifting decades and leaving the more vintage 50s, 60s and 70s to progress to the more colourful 80s and 90s. Notable influences include early computer games, pixilation, vibrant colour and shape and a more common use of intergalactic background images such as stars, galaxies and colourful waves of light. Watch this space!… A graphic design agency needs to think ahead. Here, designer Simon predicts some trends that will develop during 2016.

We first designed and developed their existing website back in 2009. Ralph Hughes recently contacted us to re-design their site and bring it to 2015. Negligence or carelessness of another’s actions may result in horrific, life-altering injuries or death. The aftermath of such an occurrence will cause you tremendous confusion and stress. How will all your medical bills be paid? How will your lost income be replaced? If your child is hurt and will never be able to care for herself, how will she be cared for when you are gone?

The Law Office of Lucas O. Harsh has more than 10 years of experience serving people in Gwinnett County. Whether you are going through a divorce or other family law matter or you need strong representation in a criminal defense case, they can help. After getting feedback from the first initial design, I felt it was important to take the second design to a more creative direction. I used deep rich tones for the design with wooden textures. I wanted to make the site design very easy to navigate but be interesting to site visitors. I try to stress to individuals how it is very important to make their sites stand out from their competitors. One should never want to blend in with other sites. Too many sites out there all look the same and are poorly designed and developed. I take a lot of time in my design work to fit each and every client. I want the best results for each and every site I design and develop.
