The Portfolio of Neil Judges ~ Pro Designer Web Design Trends in 2011 There is a thin line between design and development, and as we move into a new decade, this line is becoming extremely blurry. Is it enough to draw beautiful mock ups in Photoshop? Maybe 5 years ago. These days, the average internet user requires more. How will you stay relevant as a designer in 2011? Take a gander at the top 11 trends for 2011. 1. What a gratifying sigh of relief! Now that’s shown, please understand that Flash and HTML5 are not equal opponents. Perhaps even more exciting is the fact that CSS3 is available to us in a real way this year. 2. Simplicity. Shades of green create this Twitter visualization tool. Red can be jarring if done incorrectly. 3. Smartphones, iPads, netbooks, oh my! Creating a mobile ready website is not simply removing the bells and whistles from your design. With the help of CSS3, primarily media queries, mobile web design has taken a big leap forward (more on this later). 4. Parallax scrolling: not just for old school video games. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
Populaire Populaire is a hand-drawn font that mimics true handcrafted lettering. Counting 4 glyphs for each letter, the laborious kerning table ensures that the glyphs are really exchangeable. Yet, there’s a cool set of ornaments and a kind-of-magic OpenType feature. When the Populaire font is used in OpenType-savvy applications, its Contextual Alternates feature produce a striking random-like effect on glyphs distribution, achieved by cycling through alternates. Inspired by the electrifying posters from May 1968 by Atelier Populaire, this dynamic font is flexible enough to bring freshness and energy to a wide range of design applications. Used in the titles for the 2012 movie Life of Pi.

The State of Web Design Trends: 2011 Annual Edition 2010 has been an incredibly verdant year for web designers. Mobile has hit the mainstream; Web typography has reached new levels of sophistication; New coding techniques have vastly improved our ability to get creative with design (without compromising stability). All in all, it's been a year that's moved fast, even by the standards of the web, so let's dig in to our first annual post covering the state of web design as 2010 turns to 2011. The Death of the Fold The traditional "fold" (the imaginary line on a screen that designates what content is visible before a viewer needs to scroll) became vague, unimportant, and nearly irrelevant in 2010. Why? We'll be discussing this topic in a lot more detail this month, so subscribe (it's free) to stay tuned :) Mobile Sites Sites have been being designed for mobile scenarios since the inception of mobile devices... but 2010 has seen a huge push towards entire sub-sites that are designed specifically to be viewed on small, handheld screens.
