These technologies have combined to create a huge shift in the web design paradigm, creating, most notably, a responsive (or increasingly mobile-first) design philosophy. On the aesthetic side, 3 years ago flat design reigned supreme. And then Google introduced Material design, which brought us slightly out of abstraction. 2017 marks the year design takes one more step back into reality. Whether it’s through form, color choice or functionality, 2017 is a year of hybrids, where reality and technology collide to create a seamless browsing experience. Here are the 9 web design trends we think are going to bridge that gap...

Trends are mysterious things. Some stay for years and others are just a swift shimmer that leave as fast as they enter the scene. Still others shift and evolve with the times. Design is both the driving force and the result of this cycle of trends—with packaging design creating personal experiences (like the unboxing experience) that connect consumers to brands on a deeper level. With that in mind, here are the 9 packaging trends that we are predicting for 2017....

Design trends change every year, and it seems like most of them get hyped up to the point that all the chatter actually hinders the acceptance on some of the trends. There comes a point where, as a web designer, you start to settle into your own personal preferences, and the idea of expanding outside your comfort zone seems costly and maybe even detrimental to your job security. The Awwwards Website Trends and Design recognition program is proof that the outliers are the ones that typically get recognition. Awards and big paychecks go to those who stretch the boundaries and try out new, brave and often even re-emerging designs concepts. You hear about new design trends just about every single year, but this time we wanted to cover some of the re-emerging trends, which have some use, but maybe not the adaptation that they deserve. Let’s have a look....

I was curious what colors were being used by large, popular sites, so I decided to find out.Alexa.com maintains a list of the most visited sites on the internet. I wrote aPHP script to scrape the ten most popular sites and record all the colors used in the sites' home pages and style sheets. I plan to rescrape the data on a regular basis. Because of this, I'll keep analysis to a minimum, since it could become outdated when the data changes. Once I have data over a larger time period I'll be able to examine and graph trends in web development. I also plan to examine the difference in color usage between popular websites from different parts of the world....

Light and shadow can add qualities like depth, dimension, perspective, realism, and visual interest to your designs. This can simultaneously draw viewers into your design and make it seem to pop off the page or screen. But…it’s easy to get carried away. Overdoing effects is a no-fail way to make an otherwise good design look amateurish and tacky. To sum up, the secret to using light and shadow in a smart way involves keeping two things in mind: purpose and subtlety. First, make sure any effect you’re using has a specific, practical purpose and makes sense for your project; then, take a “less is more” approach to applying it to your design. If you’re using an effect that came with your design program, the default settings are always more dramatic than realistic (particularly for shadows); don’t rely on them, you’ll likely want to make them softer, lighter, and more subtle....
