Con la premessa, doverosa, che non è sempre facile mantenersi immuni dagli stereotipi e che in un modo o nell'altro tutti ne siamo "vittime", mi piacerebbe nei prossimi giorni iniziare ad approfondire con una serie di articoli il discorso sugli attuali clichés del web design. Č evidente a tutti che il Web non sfugge alla logica del cool e del trend e che, al contrario, sembra essere terreno oltremodo fertile per la diffusione di modelli e stili inizialmente originali che rapidamente diventano banalmente preconfezionati.
Per il momento vi segnalo TrendWatch, una design inspiration gallery creata dagli utenti sulla base delle loro preferenze in termini di web design, una user-influenced trends gallery, come la definiscono gli autori dell'iniziativa. Badge, diagonal, gradient, glossy, ecc.: anche se ancora non numerosissimi, i tag e le relative immagini presenti nella gallery sono un'ottima indicazione, direi conferma, di quali siano i modelli e gli stili a cui i più accordano le loro preferenze. Le stesse per (quasi) tutti? Č il current web style...

Storico
StampaI siti showcase e di ispirazione sono ormai numerosissimi e molti ne continuano a nascere; molti, c'è da dire, in compenso muoiono. Per tenere sempre aggiornato l'elenco, ho pensato di "scompattare" la lista che avevo pubblicato tempo fa - Ispirazione: 170 gallerie e showcase - e di gestire le tre nuove liste (CSS Showcase, Mixed Showcase e Flash Showcase) con Diigo. In qualche modo ci si deve pur facilitare la vita no?
La prima che pubblico qui sul blog è quella dedicata alle gallerie CSS. Oltre alla lista testuale ho creato, come vedete, uno slideshow con tutti i siti CSS showcase presenti nell'elenco. Così, in pochi secondi, è possibile passare da un sito all'altro e visualizzare immediatamente le novità presenti in home page. Mi auguro che questo possa agevolare chi ha bisogno, come me, di dare una scorsa veloce alle diverse gallerie di tanto in tanto...

Avevo confessato in un precedente post (Color palette inspiration: l'autunno) di essere entrata nel tunnel della creazione di palette di colori. Poco dopo, infatti, ho pensato fosse il caso iscrivermi a COLOURlovers, almeno per avere un posto in cui salvare di volta in volta quelle - a mio parere, ovviamente - ben riuscite e cestinare le altre e anche per rendere immediatamente disponibile il download in diversi formati.
Alcune tra quelle già inserite (l'ultima, blue freshness, l'ho aggiunta proprio stamattina)sono dedicate al web design.
Pubblico sul blog, per prime, quelle pensate per la realizzazione di siti dai colori brillanti e ad alto contrasto tra loro (in stile 2.0, per intenderci... e per ora ancora ci intendiamo, in attesa che il presagio di morte che rimbalza in rete si concretizzi), anche per esaudire la richiesta di alcuni lettori che erano alla ricerca di palette dai colori molto vivaci.
Forse è superfluo specificarlo, ma è chiaro che la scelta della combinazione di colori da utilizzare non è mai un'operazione puramente estetica ma fortemente connessa alla tipologia di sito web. Buona norma sarebbe conciliare uso estetico e uso comunicativo dei colori, senza perdere di vista l'importanza della coerenza, cromatica ma anche relativa al rapporto tra la combinazione scelta e gli obiettivi (comunicativi, strategici e connessi al brand) della presenza sul web. Ma questo molti di voi lo sanno meglio di me.
Avevo anticipato nel precedente articolo l'intenzione di organizzare in un elenco tutti i siti showcase e di ispirazione che affollano i miei bookmark.
Ecco la lista. 170 gallerie e raccolte di siti per l'ispirazione dei web designer, suddivise per tipologia: CSS Showcase, Flash Showcase, Mixed Showcase (flash e CSS) e Mini Showcase (in cui sono raggruppate le selezioni tematiche).
Se conoscete altre risorse non indicate nella lista potete segnalarmele nei commenti.

Negli ultimi tempi sono entrata nel tunnel della creazione di palette di colori. Qualche tempo fa mi ero riproposta di selezionarne alcune e pubblicarle periodicamente sul blog. La scorsa settimana, naturalmente, l'imminente fine dell'estate mi ha catapultato anticipatamente nel tripudio di colori della nuova stagione. Ecco quindi 12 palette di colori ispirate all'autunno (la mia stagione preferita, forse perché mi ha visto nascere, anzi perché la prima che ho visto e annusato io, appena nata).
