    Slide 27
    important trend because it’s focused on communication

    Slide 28
    homepages are evolving, thank goodness. We don’t want to see ‘welcome’ introduction pieces anymore and list of ‘news’ articles on the homepage. Tell your visitors what you’re about and what you’re good at. Start with the needs the visitor might have. The homepage is the place where you and the user need to ‘match’.

    Slide 29
    big headlines - portfolio previews are connected to the content of the headlines.

    Slide 30
    companies need to think about what they want to communicate on the homepage - think of a cool concept. and write really good copy to make it hit home.

    Slide 31
    content and usability go hand in hand... good copy is more essential than top notch usability

    Slide 33
    wonderfully designed icon’s and illustrations
    adds a lot to the experience of the website

    Slide 34
    lots of detail and attention to headers of typography, emboss - cut-outs, inner shadows and gradients...yummy!

    Slide 35
    some go all-out on headers - fantastic for experience oriented websites.

    Slide 36
    ‘hd’ grids...i know it sounds lame...but proportion have shifted from 4:3 to 16:9 and lately to 16:10 on computer screens. we have a lot more horizontal space to use.

    Slide 37
    law 2 of simplicity: organizing. good organizing makes a lot of elements seems less.
    we should use the horizontal space well - we’ve got landscape screens now!
    these 960 grids are great and cater well to multi-column layouts

    Slide 38
    more multi-collumned designs - lots of trends here:
    big headlines, rich illustrations, lighting, lots of whitespace, separate section for navigation and a copy oriented design.

    Slide 39
    great resource for your 960 grids and css
