At Creative Spark, we encourage our employees to host sharing sessions with the rest of the team about new trends and updates within the industry. Recently, Ltisch Amos, our senior Digital Designer, shared her knowledge in a sharing session on current and upcoming web design trends. We liked it so much that we uploaded a short video of her presentation onto YouTube. Now you can view the entire slideshow on Slideshare - BOOM! Ltisch focused on: Flat Design - a distinct two-dimensional style that is simply...flat, devoid of embellishment, drop shadows or any other tools that add depth. Parallax scrolling sites - this involves the website background moving at a slower rate to the foreground, creating a 3D effect as you scroll down the page. Responsive design - A website should automatically switch to accommodate for resolution, image size and scripting abilities if a user switches from their laptop to their iPad, for example, thereby responding to the user's preferences and eliminating the need for a different design and development phase for each new gadget on the market.

- Creative Spark How we fit in
- • Flat design - no gradients on buttons or navigation but the call to action still looks clickable. • We feature large hero images with small amounts of text on all pages. This immediately attracts the user’s attention, especially if the image is well photographed or creatively made. • Although our new site has multiple pages – we have a nifty little feature on top of all pages. • Use of beautiful typography in headings. • And of course, our website is responsive.
