It seems like the trend has carried on in 2008 and is growing stronger (thank God the glossy style is gone). So what’s hot now? Pencil sketches, handwritten notes, card stocks, watercolor effects, collage art, script fonts, grungy and splatter ink backgrounds (glossy gradients are not "in" this year). Another trend to be on the lookout for are the <A href="http://www.webdesignerwall.com/trends/vintage-web-design/">vintage and retro styles</A> which I’ve posted earlier this year. Here is a list of 82 sites picked from <A href="http://bestwebgallery.com" >Best Web Gallery</A> that show the current design trends.<SPAN id="more-164"></SPAN></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.webdesignerwall.com/trends/2008-design-trends/"><H3>Vintage / Retro Styles</H3> <UL class="gallery"> <li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><A href="http://www.ernesthemingwaycollection.com" ><IMG width="220" height="160" alt="ernesthemingwaycollection.com" src="http://www.webdesignerwall.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/ernesthemingwaycollection.jpg" /></A></LI> <li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><A href="http://www.nymoon.com" ><IMG width="220" height="160" alt="nymoon.com" src="http://www.webdesignerwall.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/ny-moon.jpg" /></A><A href="http://www.adventurehere.com" ></A></LI> <li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><A href="http://www.jeffsarmiento.com" ><IMG width="220" height="160" alt="jeffsarmiento.com" src="http://www.webdesignerwall.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/jeffsarmiento.jpg" /></A></LI> <li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><A href="http://www.macsbeer.com" ><IMG width="220" height="160" alt="macsbeer.com" src="http://www.webdesignerwall.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/macsbeer.jpg" /></A></LI> <li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><A href="http://www.coalmarch.com" ><IMG width="220" height="160" alt="coalmarch" src="http://www.webdesignerwall.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/coalmarch.jpg" /></A></LI> <li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><A href="http://whoisjengordon.com/uncensored/" ><IMG width="220" height="160" alt="whoisjengordon" src="http://www.webdesignerwall.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/jen.jpg" /></A></LI></UL></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/599D626D-C330-4290-B7A8-1E5B91E0F8B7/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
