Lovely Accolade - design trends 2010
Probably one of the nicest accolades I’ve had:
“My main area of focus is web design and I think that for 2010 we’re going to see more personalization in design. I think this will include seeing more hand drawn and collage elements and copywriting from a 1st person perspective. All things that will make the reader feel more of a personal connection to the face of the site. I base this on the number sites tending toward this trend and the response they have been getting. Some visual examples to support my theory Dan Whittaker Creative and Creative Binge.”

It’s nice to be used as an example of design trends for next year, especially as I designed this site a year or two ago.
Though I’m not sure the whole illustrative / textured / personalised site will be a big ‘trend’ next year. I reckon it will be probably remain as a design style and fairly uncommon, making it all the much nicer when someone does it. There are obviously many different styles, and the websites that pop up in design galleries will hopefully remain diverse. My only prediction is that the whole minamalist, simple stylee with big text and featured image trend will continue for a while. It is a good stylee but only really works on small scale sites.
