Ok.. let discuss about this..

I'ved seen several site, beauty and nice designed and had such a good feel. Unfortunately... my mind was arguing... and said that the design was really OUT OF DATE.
Has anyone feel like this before?

I'ved change to the new web multimedia dept. Wrking everydays designing sometime make me sick. Sick getting idea, sick of thinking on 'What is ONTREND design now'.

In the past few month and a year... it supposed to be 'a shinny and glassy look design'. As Web 2.0 style.. but after everyday look at it.. i dont think it was really in trend. Perhaps... the 2.0 stylo code itself is really good.

Hence!.. IMO, the design itself have a trend from time to time..

SO!.. let discuss here WEBDESIGNERS!

I think da theme is very important, such as glassy look for a college website doesnt make sense & ugly too

why doesnt it make sense? So glassy look should be placed for what sorta site? something technical?

but if the college website doesnt not have a look like this...people tend to have a bad impression on it because the college website is what ppl bump into 1st to get info bout it.

Mayb it just my personal feelin, U canot glassy for avthin or else it'll just looks like an ordinary blog site

yea this sorta thing is quite subjective though. hmmph..before that..which College site you were refering leh?

__________________

yes.. the theme / 'the site is for' also playing big part.
Imagine if a related to 'PEACE' site, but the main color was red huh.

There's also POP ART stylo.. but seems out of date too..
okay.. i think.. glassy style still valid as intrend now.

oic..
but in my point of view, i think modern pop art more suit for like...if the webmaster is really skilled in this..and the site about art...

does it matches other type of site?
Glassy effect is quite universal..so most ppl resort to it

__________________

for me, the styles shows the identity of the sites that you develop..modern art was a still 'ontrend'..glassy look for more serious thing like companies etc..

the web trend also can show how u look like..sometimes i guess..huhu

the latest trend for web design of course Web 2.0 style.

If you don't know what web 2.0 is, check this out ---> [Web 2.0 how-to design style guide

Calmshot.. ?
if you think web 2.0 is new.. sorry.. you're also out of date :P

Actually, and the beautiful fact... web 2.0 was started on 2004
that was near 4 years back!!! (few days to go is 2008)

Go study more..

Maybe I am out of date, but I design for function and content. As long as people find the content they are looking for people will come back.

agree with you...impossible for every website to use Vista-ish glossy looks...sometime it just suitable for certain websites.. most important is ur content
