Web design is not only about creativity, it is also about the evolution of creativity. Thus, if you expected a pearl from the ocean bed today, the client would expect a ‘colored’ pearl from the same place tomorrow. So if you cannot blend in with the current rends, or better – start a new trend altogether, your career as a web designer won’t take you far!

Here are 5 fresh web design tips that you can use (Also useful for graphic designers!)

1. Use Comics-based themes – ‘The Dark Knight, Superman, Spiderman, 300, Tron, you name it, you have it! Film adaptations of comic books have become phenomenally popular, and it is time you used them in your website design as well. Make your website a unique brand comic-book theme, and build on it. The clients would be blown away, especially if are a fan of any of these characters (which includes almost everybody)!
2. Use Faces from the crowd – Use faces from the crowd to depict your web design adventure. Using heads (albeit matching ones) as a base for your website layout can be unnervingly brilliant. For instance (use the eyes as a sneak peek into the mind, i.e. the web design portfolio or ideas you want to showcase.
3. Dynamic, but useful content – Yeah, everyone knows what web design is or what a portfolio is. Don’t define them. Define why they should look at your portfolio instead. Trust us, it works!
4. Give them what they Want AND also what they Need! – Yes, your client may want a website that looks exactly like YouTube, even though they are a publishing house with e-journals to sell. Give them that, but make sure they also have what they need – conversions, sales & profits to be precise!
5. Use Real-Life pictures – The age of stock images is long gone. Use real-life pictures and images. One, they look better. Two, you can weave your own design story around them. And three, they cost you nothing! Value-for-money anyone?!

So, there you go! Enjoy designing for your clients – and calling in a cavalcade of results. All by following these tips, and this Blog!
