Retro and Vintage Web Design – Best of

Retro and Vintage Web Design – Best of | Best of Design Art, Inspirational Ideas for Designers and The Rest of Us | Scoop.it

Vintage-inspired designs, when done well, can end up looking even more current and relevant than an entirely new and modern design. Whether it’s only taking inspiration for your typography, color scheme, or other elements, or whether you create a design that would feel entirely at home in the 1950s, 1920s, or any point before, using vintage and retro styles can be fun and challenging.

25 Beautiful Minimalistic Website Designs | Vandelay Design Blog | Best of Design Art, Inspirational Ideas for Designers and The Rest of Us | Scoop.it

Minimalism is a style appreciated by many designers. While it is not appropriate for every web design project, when a minimal design is done well it can be clean, striking, and it keeps the focus on the most important content.

A design with a minimalist style seems like it would be easy, but many designers find it to be very challenging to create a minimal design that looks great. White space, balance, and typography are all important elements for pulling off this look. Many minimal designs use simple color schemes, but as you’ll see below there are some exceptions.

Here are 25 websites that make use of very little unnecessary design elements but still manage to pull off a beautiful appearance. When it comes to design, if you feel that less is more, I’m sure you will find inspiration from these sites.

12 Creative Examples of Flat Web Design ~ Creative Market Blog

12 Creative Examples of Flat Web Design ~ Creative Market Blog | Best of Design Art, Inspirational Ideas for Designers and The Rest of Us | Scoop.it

Flat Design has become a popular trend for app and website designs as of late. People seem to either love it or hate it, and it definitely isn't a style that works for all applications and websites. There are many benefits to flat design, such as simplicity and minimalism that makes for a certain ease of use. For some applications, flat design may be too simple, which is when we see semi-flat or flexible flat design that features slight drop shadows or gradients to add that little extra 'something' to the design.


Many have argued that flat web design is just efficient design -- that it's a way of making the user experience much more friendly. We've compiled some inspiring examples of flat design from creative portfolios and useful apps for your inspiration, as well as a break down of the elements of flat design to help you better understand flat design that works and converts.

Arusiak Kanetsyan's insight:

Flat design is really popular with mobile operating systems as well as apps, aside from taking over the web design trends. Here are some inspirational designs demonstrating flat designs of various webs.

Web design eye-candy: 24 ultra-colourful user interfaces

Web design eye-candy: 24 ultra-colourful user interfaces | Best of Design Art, Inspirational Ideas for Designers and The Rest of Us | Scoop.it

Much has been written about the use of colour in web design. Back in the day there were stark warnings. Pick as few as possible, seemed to be the general advice, and be sensible about your choices.

I covered the main points when I wrote about colour and web design five years ago. A lot of that advice still stands up but there has been a definite shift, and nowadays it seems that more and more designers are embracing colour like never before. The polychromatic web is upon us!

The combination of flat design and blocks of saturated colour is certainly a winning combination from where I’m sitting. It's a trend that is perhaps underpinned by the growing number of devices with retina screens in circulation.

A strong, clever use of colour can be great for branded web experiences, web apps of various flavours, and agency websites. That said, I’m not fully convinced that this design trend is ideal for retailers with hundreds or thousands of product pictures, as too much colour can be overpowering, but no doubt there are some good examples out in the wild.
