Caption Hover Effects - Demo 7 Previous Demo Back to the Codrops Article Current style in web design In this article I try to sum up the current state-of-the-art in graphic design for web pages (late 2006, but still highly relevant today), and identify the distinctive features that make a modern web page look fresh, appealing and easy to use. The key feature of modern web design is simplicity. To learn how to apply simple web design to your own sites, you need to read “Save the Pixel – The Art of Simple Web Design”, which takes you through a full set of simple design tools, illustrated with 22 before & after redesigns. I’m glad to say that web design is better today than ever – and it’s continuing to improve. That’s not just because there are more web sites out there, so more good stuff to look at. The examples below (which I’ll roll over time) show excellent modern graphic design technique. Hotties I’m not saying these are the very best sites out there, just that they’re typical of today’s best design. Common features The great sites above share the following design features: Simple layout

How to effectively engage the school leaver/young student market | CultureHive Published 2013 This non-arts case study demonstrates how to effectively engage the school leaver/young student market. It tells the story of how in 2012 MediaCom Edinburgh and Teesside University set about to increase student admissions in the face of double digit declines across the competitive set (post-1992 universities in the north of England). With Teesside University having a smaller budget than many competitors the activity had to be smart. Defining our communication priorities To achieve our goal we needed to do much more than simply set out Teesside’s credentials in traditional broadcast media. 25 Clean and Light Web Designs for Inspiration Startup Framework Close 25 Clean and Light Web Designs for Inspiration Adrian • Inspiration • March 1, 2011 • 3 Comments One of the trends in web design that is still popular and used today is: keeping it simple.

Reference ID: a79a78114a38938f15deea5041bbdca7 When designing a website, take careful precision to dedicate as much time to every facet as possible. ‘We eat with our eyes’ as the saying goes and we also judge a business by the website we are eating a brand with our eyes before we even begin a business relationship with a company. Colors and White Space When designing your site, consider the underlying message of every text box, every button, and every page. However, cooler colors like blue and green have been proven less effective in the same instance. Think about the amount of time a viewer judges your site: 8 seconds. A cluttered page isn’t as useful as a clean and open one especially to a first time user, so keep that in mind while developing your online look. Video and Animation
Inline Anchor Styles It had been my luck to live en famille with some herder Lapps once before in North-Western Norway. I had some elk shooting and some fishing up there, and I came across the tribe one day poaching red char from one of my own hired lakes. When we actually did get under weigh, our outfit consisted of one inferior double-barrelled 12-bore shot-gun by an anonymous maker, one good Marlin ’45 repeating rifle carrying a long bullet, a small assortment of tinned foods and loaded cartridges... It was these photographs which suggested going to see the Lapp in his own domains. Drawing from our own ignorance, and from the united ignorance of others (most freely and generously bestowed), we mapped out the details of the campaign with glibness and ease. It is not to be denied, though, that the Novaya Zemblya scheme had its seductions. As regards the commissariat, that we decided would be simple also. The few tins of provisions we did take were mainly to serve as luxuries. Creative Link Effects
