Web Graphic Design Trends in 2010 to 2011

There are always some kind of trends which become popular in graphic designers for some specific time period. I found some of them which I saw in most of new websites in 2010. These designs are great impact on web design firms. Most of these trends will continue in 2011 as there is not specif boundaries between these trends. Here is the list of four which I saw most the time:

Oversized Headers

Mostly found some attractive pictures in the headers or any flash animation. This design come makes web page more attractive when land on home page mostly it is invisible in secondary pages. Many websites keep it in very page but that is not good idea.

Big Images

This is also very popular which makes website look more appealing and attractive, but covers lot of area on frontage, good thing is that visitors don't forget the website that has big and attractive image on font page.

Modal Boxes like lightbox2

These boxes pop up when you see picture or mostly for small input forms. These are more attractive compare to static page forms or picture viewer. While interacting with this box main webpage become darker. One example from these is lightbox2 which is available free to impede in your website which makes life easier for web designers.

larger footers

Now most of the websites using over-sized footer, where they mostly include extra link which they are not appear in main menu or like some RSS feeds and other social media icons. It is also good for SEO perspectives.
