Design Trends – Where Are They Going?

14th June 2009

I was recently enjoying a nice discussion on the DesignForums about where everyone thought the design trends were going. Most people thought along the lines of decoration, furthering web 2.0, effects here there and everywhere. Others thought we would see more serif and yet still others, more organic, ‘green’ designs. I can see their point, but I’m thinking in a slightly different direction.

I envisage a shift in the design community towards a more old school look, taking it back to the early years when design and order on the Internet was struggling with birth pains.

No, I’m not talking about going forgetting all we’ve learned, I’m predicting a movement of more thin width, cram it together, lower the
padding a touch and centre it style designs.

Current Examples:

Web Appers
The Vintage Web

Design is all about opinion, and I’m interested in hearing yours.
