1. Richer content experiences & Cards and Tiles: https://econsultancy.com/blog/64096-18-pivotal-web-design-trends-for-2014#i.a8y6hu2enef0t2
- People want to see vibrant, life-like images that interact with text, and other aspects of a website, like scrolling. An easier way to organize content is by using cards and tiles, instead of tabs running across the top.
2. Responsive Design & Navigation: http://www.fuzeinc.com/best-practices-for-top-web-design-trends-for-2014/
- There are many different ways a website can be accessed; by phone, by desktop, by tablet. Anyone should be able to understand the format a website is in, regardless of how they access the website.
3. Simple & Storytelling Designs: http://www.forbes.com/sites/thesba/2014/02/10/top-web-design-trends-in-2014/
- Simple design helps readers not get confused when they are on your website. They shouldn't have a lot of difficulty navigating the website. Storytelling gives a web designer a lot more freedom by giving them a chance to express themselves.
These designs do correlate with my favorite websites. Pinterest uses a form of cards to display ideas, and all the ideas you put together, goes on a board that can easily be accessed by a click or tap. Facebook is very easy to navigate and access. Yahoo gives me a variety of stories, and after I click on one, and the bottom of each story, there are similar stories that I may also want to read.
