By Art Duszynski • Jan 15th, 2009 • Category: Found Elsewhere

Good post at Smashing Magazine this morning. The first 10 of 25 Web Design trends they’re tracking. Part two comes next week. They provide some excellent examples of each trend as well.

Here’s their top ten:

• Letterpress
• Rich user interfaces
• PNG transparency
• Big typography
• Font replacement (sIFR, etc.)
• Modal boxes
• Media blocks
• The magazine look
• Carousels (slideshows)
• Introduction blocks

Art Duszynski has been working on the web since 1998, and believes he's beginning to get the hang of it.
