A truly effective designer transcends trends and avoids style for style’s sake. The goal is to inspire users to take action?"whether it’s clicking “Next,” subscribing, signing up, or purchasing a product.
Article Body:
In every culture, there’s often a counter-culture. Similarly, for every popular trend, there’s a reaction. This pushback against highly stylized and ultramodern Web 2.0 design has come swiftly, and in many ways, unfairly.
Designers often express frustration at seeing repetitive elements like gradients, glossy icons, and oversized headers. You might feel the same. But consider this: does it work?
A good designer rises above fleeting trends and superficial styles. Design should be about more than appearances; it’s about motivating users to take action?"to engage and make choices.
True design success isn’t measured by what’s trendy or impressing peers by resisting current fashions. Following trends just to avoid others leads only to following future trends.
Ben Hunt from webdesignfromscratch.com identifies the core elements of Web 2.0 design:
- Simple layout
- Sparing use of 3D effects
- Soft, neutral background colors
- Occasional use of strong colors
- Selective use of cute icons
- Generous whitespace
- Large, clear text
These components are straightforward yet effective. The goal isn’t to resist trends for the sake of being different, but to understand and utilize what truly works.
As Ben wisely notes, “Web design in 2006 is better than ever… more designers know how to create effective designs than ever before.”
And that’s worth celebrating.
