Single-page website with retrographics and a philosophical touch

All throughout 2012 there has been an enormous surge in new web design trends. Some of you may remember my earlier post on web design trends going into 2012. Now we can see many of these ideas have come to fruition, and even adopted further increasing levels of novelty. In this article I would like to delve into 20 more design trends for the new 2013 year.

Minimal websites can be a pretty polemic issue, especially when we stop to think how minimal should a minimal site be? Some people think that a good minimal website is that which has few design elements as possible. While others believe that the number of elements is not the key, but rather the way they are putted together. There is also some that don’t consider colorful sites as examples of minimalism because they believe that colors distract the viewer and take away the minimalist effect – the old cliche, less is more. Whatever side you are on, today you can check some examples of what we believe are inspiring minimalist websites. Sites with a clean and nice layout, where content takes over and makes clear for users what the site is all about.

Последнее время все чаще можно встретить сайты с необычным дизайном и функциональностью, увидев которые, можно залипнуть на некоторое время. Увидев такие, у меня рука непроизвольно тянется к f12, чтобы открыть firebug и посмотреть, как же реализован тот или иной компонент. Таким образом можно открыть для себя интересные техники и в будущем реализовать их на своих проектах. Некоторые из них стали доступны с приходом новых технологий, например таких, как CSS 3 — то, что раньше было реализовано на флеше, теперь можно воплотить с помощью строк кода в таблице стилей. Дизайнеры тоже не теряют времени, создавая новые тренды и все плотнее взаимодействуя с верстальщиками. В этой статье я хотел бы показать 15 сайтов, которые так или иначе удивили и порадовали меня. Возможно, кого-то они вдохновят на собственный шедевр.

Welcome to the official calendar apocalypse! As humans we often forget things easily, such as anniversaries. One thing I’ve learned form my experience is to never forget that date, because once you do your in deep water. Apart from relationships we have many other important events happening in our lifes. If you’re a busy person that has too much food on your plate, you probably use a calendar to stay organized. Currently there are tons of apps and services that help you keep track of important events. Some services will even email you a reminder right before you need to accomplish something. All of these incredible tools help us stay on top of our game, and in a strange way act like our second brain.

When you work with amazing people, you get amazing results.
