good point but who ever said the web was about design? it was conceived as a simple way to publicly post information in a timely fashion. the rest is the design nazis who want to think that web “design” is a requirement. give me back my html 1.0

And in the late 90’s it was 45 degree angles, and then it was random 3d explosion/shapes, and then it was…

etc, etc. It’ll always be something, that’s why it’s called a trend :)

I don’t disagree with you - I’m just sayin’, is all!

Good point. I agree with you! I love the web2.0 style. But there are so many website designs look alike these days, and no originality…

Ahhaha Jim, nice catch! Thank you =)

Martin, that’s what I’m bubbling about. It was demanded, so was called popular. I even have had a client that specifically asked for a web 2.0ized header for his community website and the exact line was “do some glossy there, and there and you know stylize the site in web 2.0 look”.

What good is having someone designed the site if it will look like any other website? Is it going to have the aspect of aesthetics?

That’s what I’m questioning.

Hi - nice topic. Been seeing more of this on the web lately, the Web 2.0 look debate. I just noticed though… on your form at the bottom of the page… your text inputs are “closer to me, and younger”, but the text area is “sharp edged and corporate”. :~) Nice though!

Thank you,

I totally agree with you… Creativity has more or less diminished these days. However, it is not the result of people being less creative. In my opinion, many websites lacks any preliminary analysis so the desiner have to count on his own opinion and taste how should elements on pages look like and also on common trend.

I have to work very often only with poor content and no case study, no concept study. If I had some like that before I started designing, the design would be 100% different. I am sure.
