2008 Design Trends
About a year ago, I compiled a huge list of artistic sites. It seems like the trend has carried on in 2008 and is growing stronger (thank God the glossy style is gone). So what’s hot now? Pencil sketches, handwritten notes, card stocks, watercolor effects, collage art, script fonts, grungy and splatter ink backgrounds (glossy gradients are not "in" this year). Another trend to be on the lookout for are the vintage and retro styles which I’ve posted earlier this year. Here is a list of 82 sites picked from Best Web Gallery that show the current design trends.
Vintage / Retro Styles
Handwritten Notes and Paper Clips
Grungy
Splatter Ink
Watercolor
Collage
Sketches and Handwritten Fonts
Big Fonts
Script Fonts
Wood Pattern
Zig Zag Pattern

What a fantastic job. My favorite are Wooden Designs and ZigZag patterns. But all designs look so fresh and appealing. My website kinds looks crapy in front of these. I can see that a lot of hard-work has been put in to designing these.

This is not a list of 2008’s trends… this is a list of every possible website design ever made, except for ultra-clean/minimal/modern. And it’s pretty ironic that this site itself - webdesignerwall.com - combines several of these trendy cliches in a single design.

Web design companies will definitely find this site useful. Thanks for compiling this together. It is very important to stay with the trends because that is what the future customers will judge your site it. It is important to have a website in this day and age and an appealing one is definitely very important. I agree with Martin too, where is the Dark Knight campaign? They had some great stuff!
