currently we are preparing an article about global web design trends and we would like to cover recent developments, new ideas and innovative web design concepts in South America, Eastern Europe and Asia - these articles are the part of our upcoming series "Global Web Design Trends". This series will cover the most important designers, artists, web design-related blogs and projects from each region of the world.
Each article will cover one specific region or country - for instance, Israel and describe current web desgns trends and developments there. What we are looking for are basically insights from the region, detals about what is going on in web design and graphics design. Unfortunately, in the English-speaking world these insights are really hard to find - with the new series about global web design we would like to change it, because we are confident that there are a plenty of creative ideas from talented designers across the globe.
If you come from Israel, please answer the following 5 questions in this forum thread:
Question 1:
Please tell us briefly about yourself, where do you come from and what do you do?
Question 2:
What do you think, what are the most important design trends in your region? Hand-writing style, grunge, minimalism? Are desigenrs and developers more concerned about usability? What layouts are more popular - fixed or fluid? What about typography? Have the CSS-based designs become standard in the industry? What is in your opinion different in designs in US/Europe and in your country? What makes your designs really different?
Question 3:
Please provide us with the URLs of beautiful or/and original web designs from your country - the more, the better.
Question 4:
Please send us URLs to most popular / important design-related resources in your country (CSS showcases, blogs, magazines, podcasts, whatever...)
Question 5:
Please provide us with links to most useful web-design-tools, developed by designers/developers from your country; which of them do you use on the daily basis?
Please post the answers as soon as possible - until the end of the next week.
Please also forward this e-mail to your friends from Israel and ask them to participate in our series using our forum. Your input is very important to us and the more replies we get, the better the quality of the article will be!
Thank you very much for participation, we really appreciate your efforts.
