Why do so many websites look the same? As our tools have improved and we’ve been able to do more with the web, there’s been a growing trend toward websites that look exactly alike. Why did this come to be, and what can we, as designers and curators of the modern web, do to avoid it?
In order to answer these questions, we’ll touch briefly on the history of web design, and examine how modern tools and practises have contributed to a more homogeneous-looking internet. We’ll examine the web design process from two perspectives – the designer’s and the developer’s – and discuss how the blurring of those roles impacts the design process. Along the way, we’ll discuss the various merits of following or bucking trends. Finally, I’ll offer some constructive advice to help you – whether you’re a designer or not – add an individual touch to your design work.

A list of all famous minimalist artists, architects and designerscharpentieredme
If you’re trying to get a grip at minimalism across the fields, considering to buy a minimalist piece, or looking to hire a minimalist architect or designer, this overview may serve as a quick reference.
Or consider these contemporary artists with a minimalist aesthetic:
Sculptor Terence Koh (Canada), painter Carmen Herrera (Cuba), land artist Wolfgang Laib (Germany), installation artist Martina Klein (Germany), sculptor Rachel Whiteread (U.K.), installation artist Lesley Foxcroft (U.K.), and painter and installation artist Daniel Buren (France).
And these artists’ works embody a minimalist philosophy:
Performance artist, video artist, painter and more Francis Alÿs (Belgium/Mexico), environmental artists well-known for their wrapping of buildings Christo and Jeanne-Claude (France, USA), painter, sculptor and installation artist Martin Creed (U.K), sculptor and land artist Andy Goldsworthy (U.K.), and installation artist, performance artist and sculptor David Hammons (USA).
And if I may, some special attention to my personal friends Adrian Clement and James Gatt a.k.a. Pineapple Park (Australia).
Web development on web was part of a project in the final year of Engineering to demonstrate the implementation and application of SaaS using Microsoft Silverlight.
The application facilitated creation of web pages without having a need to install any HTML editor based software.

In the course of her career working solo, in a duo, with agencies, with corporations, and with a startup, Meagan's learned a few valuable lessons (some the hard way) about how to grow as a designer. She'll talk about how she got started, as well as insights on collaborating, evolving your style, and getting things launched. You'll also hear about the design maxims she holds dear (and which ones she ignores), and the web development techniques that have strengthened her design skills. She hopes to leave you with some ideas for how to be a web design champion.
When it comes to design – for websites, print media, and user experience – there is good advice and bad advice. Today, we would like to present some of the worst advice ever recorded. If you see some of yourself in these examples, it might be time to seek professional help. For design solutions see great tips from SEO.com
Putting Design Back into Instructional DesignCammy Bean
With such a focus on instruction, we've forgotten about Design. Or perhaps never even learned what Design is. Let's put the design back into instructional design! These are my slides from a presentation at DevLearn 2013 in Las Vegas, NV.
There are many resources on development for designers but what about design for developers? It shows how to create an effective layout, which fonts to choose, and how to make proper color choices. Skills that can be used in any graphic presentation.
(Presentation was given at the Heartland Developer Conference.)
Chasing Elephants - Alberto Brandolini - Codemotion Rome 2017Codemotion
Developers suffer from dangerous addictions. They draw pleasure in making things work. When this doesn't happen this could lead to dramatic consequences. Developers deprived of the possibility of making things work could start exposing dangerous behaviours like challenging authority and mainstream thinking. In extreme cases, they may even fall into the abyss of asking the forbidden question: "Why?"
Are you a designer or a free lance photographer? Have you pledge before to love your clients? Well, while on one hand our standard of living depends on how many clients we satisfy, on the other hand some clients are not exactly "easy". Inspired by the hilarious reviews on http://clientsfromhell.net/ we will simulate a typical case of miscommunication between Designer and Client. When things go from bad to worse.
