Latest Web design trends
 

Every now and again Studio35 surf the web in search of the latest trends in web design; to find out more about the latest techniques or just to view what's out there. We found a wonderful article, written by Jacqueline Thomas.

According to Jacqueline Thomas, 2010 is the time to pack away the old, worn web designs and prepare for the face of tomorrow.

Thomas writes that oversized logos on an equally oversized header will make an unforgettable impression on the visitor. She explains that these types of headers can take up the entire screen, but with one important note. According to Thomas, visitors often having a clicking phobia (due to years of poor navigation), so big headers do the job of a splash page without forcing your visitors to click anything.

The main idea behind it? Huge headers that make your visitors remember you.

She continues to write about Sketch in 2010 which will become more elemental, and not as much the main focus of a web design. Sketch is used to personalize standard web copy in new and exciting ways.

Other trends include Slab typefaces as well as Typography.

Thomas reports that typography is one of the most difficult trends to tackle which is why it will remain fresh in 2010. She writes: "The idea of mixing varying font sizes together is completely unthinkable. Fonts are meant to be explored, twisted, and molded to fit your purposes. With the correct placement, a website that utilizes Typography as its main design element will be more interesting to a reader than overloading the same site with tons of photos."
