Great work by Simon Collision (@Colly). Picks up for me on slide 17. 2. Standardize production. 3. Experiment and synthesize. 4. Form follows function. 5. Economy and simplicity. 2. Develop systems. 3. Holistic web design approach (slide 32 what's golden important). . 4. Mass production and individual expression. 5. Adapt and respond to an evolving world. Here are points I would make about how Bauhaus values will play an important role in what is next online: * Smart Phones & Apps gamify routine (boring) tasks. * Holistic design will increasingly mean Mobile Fist design. * We are all in the community building business (whether we know it or not) & community creates mass production OUT OF individual expression.

In order to make a lasting impression on your visitors, you need to build experiences that go beyond those of a plain, usable website. This does not mean usability has become any less important. It just takes on a different role in web design, now forming the basis for a great user experience for examples of great usability website.
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:
Agree, some conventions are needed and expected others can be broken down and twisted into new shapes. Trick is knowing what you must do like everyone else and what you can afford to take some risks with in your website design.

Good note @wayne_b. I'm sure there are many "more technical" who will use password helper apps. I also see your point about, for a certain segment, Facebook = distrust (me included), but there is a big broad breadbasket of users who will use FB because they trust it and social signon because its easy. That being the case, I will always include a well thought out social signin option on the big stuff we create at @CrowdFunde and Scenttrail Marketing. Marty

Currently, one of the biggest trends in the web design industry is the flat design style. In case you are not yet familiar with the term, flat design is essentially design without the drop shadows, gradients, and textures that have been common in web design for some time. Flat design uses solid colors and often typography figures prominently into the design. In this post we'll showcase 33 excellent examples of the flat web design trend. Hopefully they can provide some inspiration that can be put to use in your own work. Buffalo

Mobile is the secret driver of many of 2014's hottest web design trends. One of the hottest is flattening out web design. Small screens can't handle shading and three dimensionality as well as bigger screens, so flat is one of the HOTTEST web design trends as these 33 examples share. .
