So what web designs are going to be popular in 2012?

Your guess is as good as mine.

As the year draws to a close, several designs will continue to remain popular while there will be new trends like last year. So here are some predictions for web designs that will hold our attention in the New Year:

#1: Responsive Web Designs

Experts believe that these designs with their fluid lay, which became popular in 2011, will move on up in terms of popularity in the coming year as well.

#2: Vector Art

Vector mascots are becoming more and more common these days with Mozilla Firefox and MailChimp using these on their websites. Most people believe that this trend will become very popular in the following year, with their banner and ribbon style graphics also showing an increasing trend in popularity.

#3: Circles

Who would have thought that a simple shape such as the circle would gain in popularity this year? Yet circles have been used increasingly for photography portfolios where it illustrates links and icons as well. Web designers are of the opinion that it will be used with jQuery and CSS3 to create animation that is worthy of appreciation.

#4: Custom Fonts

This trend has emerged in popularity especially with blog designers, especially in regards to WordPress. Using JavaScript, web designers have been creating custom fonts in CSS Styles while using the TypeKit online library to source different fonts as well.

#5: Minimalist Design

Keeping it simple has been a thumb of rule that web designers always focus on. However, it’s easier said than done because the designer has to convey the message using the least elements as possible.
