I see the glossy/shiny graphics element of 2.0 starting to fade away. Now when i come across a site with big glossy icons, i find it tacky. Thought this is strange, since just a couple years ago it seemed that it was a necessary element of your design. While i still feel glossy is good in some cases, it’s getting a lot more subtle than it used to be back when the 2.0 craze started.

I love the depth and perception example; I’ve never seen that done before. It would look amazing in a nice deep colored blue IMHO.

While I agree with most of your points (especially typography, large images, and depth/perspective), the web 2.0 arena has warn it’s welcome. If anything, simplistic designs with the trends you described are replacing it.

I would make a prominent place for white space usage. Designer are exploring and using white space more effectively than ever. Just take a look at Drawar, Andy Ruthledge’s Design View, Astheria and 52 Weeks of UX.

Nice overview, but all of them were already trends in 2009. So we have to see, if something “new” is coming into 2010?

i like the designs you showcased. but in one point i disagree. web 2.0 is – imho – much more than just a “design trend” or how a website looks. it’s the whole concept of interaction between creator and consumer, which changed the web to version 2.0, not only the look and feel of it.

I guess it depends on how you define trends. What you describe here are random observations of the past. Any possible trends happened years ago. The Web 2.0 look and feel was a trend overt two years ago.
This article stats the obvious and provides no insight and little value. Your title must have been created for SEO purposes as it has all of the buzz words – 2010, trends, etc. although your content does not deliver.

From what I can tell as far as trends for 2010 go the concentration seems to be on two main things:
- Nice big headers that are pretty, but more importantly, functional.
- Ample use of whitespace to promote clarity
I’m not sure the content here describes trends as such, but they sure are a nice collection of inspiring designs.

Coming from a web design company myself we are getting more customers wanting blogs for their sites or want us to re-design their existing. Seeing these blogs have given us some great ideas for our future customers. Thanks.

Hey, good point though you should agree it’s hard to define what’s really new in Year 2010, because big trends will stay all the time, they just will change – for example web 2.0 is staying more subtle, but trend as name is still staying.
This article tries to define and show some new and subtle changes which could be interesting to notice.
I am sorry if you were expecting more than you received. We definitely try our best to deliver.

Web 3.0 is going to be brilliant. I’m starting to look at AJAX as well! I still can’t believe that there are a lot of sites that are still distinctly Web 1.0!?!?!?!?!

Looking Ahead to Print Design in 2010…
I recently ran across a blog that talks a little bit about web advances that have lead to design changes online. It also talks a lot about elements of design that cross over from web design to print design. You can read Design Trends among Blogs to see…

Its indisputable how technology changed. Even the simplest of websites have evolved throughout the years.
I remember the first Internet where websites were only text – now we have dynamic portals, flash animated websites and what more. Technology has changed everything and its evolution will never end – as long as its used for the good of the people and not vice-versa.
