I though it will be a nice idea we could talk about web design trends for this year, talk about what is eye-catching, what is beautiful for the eye of the beholder.

- The “Retro Style” is 100% a web trend this year and i had so much clients asking for this kind of style for his website design.
- Drawing/Calligraphy/Cartooning: Cartooning Style - is for sure a way to make easily a strong brand for your website and a shocking appearance.
- Swirls & Flourishes graphics : all websites have it, that obvious but why ? Why flowers & swirls and drips ? Check out my blog.
- Paper clips & Hand-Written Notes : I can say Hand-Written Notes and Paper clips are a little bit old because i remember in 2005-2006 i was looking for this type of photos to use in my designs and it was trendy to have such design. But it is trendy now.
- Splatter Ink & Handwritten Fonts & drips : Emo style rite ? This isn’t my favourite but i saw beautiful websites with this type of designs. A lot of people had embraced this trend and it is awesome.
These are, in my opinion, the trends for this year. What do you think ?

i dunno about all that. Main stream websites are sticking to Retro. So I agree with you there. But I don't see them putting flower/emo/dripping/swirl designs on their websites. Maybe thats jus me though... :\
