It seems to be a ever increasing trend...
less is more. Not for me, I like my baked potatoes loaded and a good side salad to boot with my dinner. In the past couple of years CSS built sites have been increasing exponentially. Fortunately, there are web designers out there that do not follow the trend and CSS Sites, when they are done well, look great and can be changed with relative ease. I guess you could design a site taking from the white pages of your local phone book. Thats fine, you present your information to the people who are in search of it. I would like to see a little more of a hybrid between the yellow pages and the white. The point that I am trying to drive home here would probably be that rounded corners, gradients, and reflections does not make a site golden. If it does you are among the millions of "golden web 2.0" sites out there. For example..
Why yes, yes it is a joke.
02/02: Review : Design at Play
Cartoon Network at MODA
Design at Play: The High Design and Low-Brow Humor of Cartoon Network
Opening February 1-May 19
Directions & Event Information
A couple weeks ago I got an invitation in the mail about coming to the opening of the "Design at Play" Exhibit hosted at the Museum of Design Atlanta Downtown. The opening night was free and who am I to pass up free Cartoon Network art. I love Cartoon Network, and the prospect of meeting the "Voice of Space Ghost" (once the voice of Atlanta) was a prospect I could not pass up. Also seeing as how InnoShare is an Atlanta web site design and web development company, I felt like it was almost a job requirement as an Atlanta Web Design consultant to support my local Atlanta designers.

18/01: Web 2.0 Design
Green is the New Black
While "Stumbling" across design articles I found an article which really hits home for designing Web 2.0 sites. There has always been a good look and feel for sites like flickr and youtube, but this article explains the breakdown of their design really well. Showing how they tend to use alot of soft curves in both their borders and their text along with the use of much larger fonts than ever before. The reasons they do this to try to show the user they are "easy to use" almost like a kids site is very interesting.Read the Article @ Pixel Acres
