This week, I wanted to share some information I found regarding Web Design Trends for 2014 (see infographic below). I love the information because it is presented in the form of an Infographic.
Infographics are visual representations of data. In fact, an infographic can make the data more pleasing to the eye and easier to absorb. Websites and blogs that have infographics are shared and viewed more often (http://www.customermagnetism.com/infographics/what-is-an-infographic/).
If you are interested in creating an infographic, there are free tools out there. Follow this link for a few of the free infographic creators available: http://www.techalam.com/10-free-infographic-maker-tools/.
The infographic below describes various trending topics in Web Design for this year. I specifically enjoyed reading about returning to a 2d environment in many new websites and apps because of the major releases by Apple (IOS7) and Windows 8. Both of these operating systems have taken the previous look of a 3D environment and produced a flat and simply look to the way we are now viewing our smartphones and tablets (as well as desktops).
Web Design is a great career to have. It allows you to make a living with the freedom to use your creativity and make something original that a business or an individual can use. Of course, like any career, you will have to cater to your clients. This means you will have deadlines and directives that you may not agree with. But, you have to make the best of it.
As I was reading through the information below, I came across an acronym that not all will know about: CMS. CMS stands for "Content Management System". This is basically a simple way to create a website without knowing code. You can learn more about a Content Management System (CMS) here: http://cms.about.com/od/cms-basics/g/Cms.htm.
I hope you enjoy the information below! Thanks for stopping by.
