Like in fashion, we could talk about web design trends for this year, talk about what is eye-catching, what is beautiful for the eye of the beholder.
- The “Retro Style” is definitely a web trend this year and i had so much clients asking for this kind of style for his website design. This classic style, smart used and created will always will delight your visitors. Visit this website and you’ll get my point ( http://www.ernesthemingwaycollection.com ). It is a perfect example that represent this style. Use old paper graphics & suitable fonts and start playing .
- Drawing/Calligraphy/Cartooning: Cartooning Style – is for sure a way to make easily a strong brand for your website and a shocking appearance. So if you want your visitors to remember your website i can tell you it is a good idea to have your own website mascot/character
- Swirls & Flourishes graphics : all websites have it, that obvious but why ? Why flowers & swirls and drips ? Because people were bored by old fashioned websites having just basic graphics and text. They wanted something new, something to attract and seduce them. The human creativity is unlimited so that is only a small step.
- Paper clips & Hand-Written Notes : I can say Hand-Written Notes and Paper clips are a little bit old because i remember in 2005-2006 i was looking for this type of photos to use in my designs and it was trendy to have such design. But it is trendy now. Designers use this style very much and i like it.
- Splatter Ink & Handwritten Fonts & drips : Emo style rite ? This isn’t my favourite but i saw beautiful websites with this type of designs. A lot of people had embraced this trend and it is awesome.
These are, in my opinion, the trends for this year. Use the ideas and don’t forget always to come up with something new

Thanks for sharing such a nice resource. I think whatever is unique will attract visitors and hence would become a trend.

Like with the grunge look, the retro styling needs to fit the intended audience. I’ve come across this trend on a number of websites and I was left with a bad taste in my mouth. On the flip side, I’ve come across the grunge appearance on sites and it seems the perfect fit.
Like everything, know your market and moderation!
Good post!

Trends, especially the ripped, retro and ornate look and feel I think has been over used. It was nice to see at first, but like every great design (the Apple reflections, or glass highlight) can be taken too far!

It will depend on the way you look at it and where that you’re coming from on the theme really. In the long run beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I’m with you on this one.
