2010…My predictions for web design trends

4 February 2010 | Comments Off

  • Minimalist designs will become (even) more popular this year. Simple, elegant, classy, fast page response times. Collage/handrawn design will calm down a bit
  • Maybe some professional looking monotone stuff with colorful details
  • Solid colors
  • More HTML5 and CSS3 implementation instead of a trend like letterpress or glossy buttons (those were the days)
  • A lot of rounded corners, RGBA transparency, and drop shadows using CSS3
  • More JQuery and more integration of social media in design
  • Massive typography
  • Serif fonts will get more attention
  • More people will use custom font embedding (e.g. FontSquirrel, OpenType, sIFR)
  • Less ie6 support!
  • The year of mobile design…With the proliferation of smart phones, tablets and other devices, how are we designers going to adopt Flash and other platforms to design for mobile devices?

About me

What do I do? I'm never sure what to answer, because people expect to hear one thing. We're all multi-faceted, and we are not our jobs. So what do I do?

I design websites, interfaces, and logos. I write. I create products. I consult. I love my family, friends, art, surfing, tennis, music, and travel. Which of these things really defines me? I can't say. But this website provides professional and personal information about me that might help others define me, if they feel it necessary to do so. I am an visual & interaction designer, entrepreneur, world traveler, and day dreamer. I am passionate for learning about and experimenting with new ways of living and working in community.

Where I come from
I was born in Sao Paulo and raised in beautiful Recife, Pernambuco, which is located on Brazil's northern coast, moved to Rio to finish high school, then again to Sao Paulo, where I acquired my Bachelor's degree in Industrial Design with Professional Qualification in Visual Communications. I have great parents and 2 younger brothers named Arthur and Denis.

Once I received my degree, I moved to Australia to pursuit a continuous design skills improvement and surf quality waves.

In late 2001, I moved to San Diego, California where I'm currently living and working.
