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
CSS Decorative Gallery Photoshop: Hand Drawn Design

Tennesseesummertime probably is my favourite though I have not got enough time to look closely into every site, many of them are inspirational to me in terms of creativity and innovation. I like its simplicity and richness of information about the project. I think this design has achieved all the objectives.

Love this post! I’m definitely a fan of the vintage feel. I also really love the ink splatters. I can’t wait to see what the next trends will be!
