It is a trend amongst designers to share their thoughts, techniques, and skills with other people by using a blog. Much more, some designers learn this job by consulting the blogs (obviously, in addition to reading books, listening to podcasts) and others sharpened their potential.
The blogs are very advantageous for readers but at the same time bring popularity and clients to the owners. Under these circumstances there is no wonder that the number of blogs has exponentially increased. Is it wrong? Personally, no way; it’s both side expedient and as long as the information shared is useful and qualitative then this activity must really be stimulated.
Where Instagram Fits?
The twenty-first century is the age of social interaction. The only way to survive and thrive in the new era of technical and cyber commerce is to bridge the gap once believed to be essential for the professional image. "Stand out and rise above," they told us. "Let the world know you are larger than life." Today, such an approach is outdated and detrimental to anyone who truly does wish to rise above. The key to the successful image now exists in the ability to bring ourselves to the level of our friends, fans, and followers. The public no longer wants mono-facetted companies or public figures who constantly remind everyone of the differences between us and them.
Sharing our daily comings and goings is what social media is all about—connecting strangers, and opening up about our lives fulfills the need to contribute to the overall online community. One of the more recent entities to take center stage on the social media scene is Instagram. You are undoubtedly familiar with the service, providing users with a free photo app for smartphones, allowing us to recreate the retro images of our past—ones that once required a toy camera and a roll of expired Kodak Gold to capture.
The web industry nowadays is very productive. During these years there have been many trends followed and every day the designers experiment new techniques creating new tendencies in the art of making website.
Recently is evident the necessity of a direct communication with customers and a website is the first place where a company can make know their cool stuff and services. A well-designed website is important for the growth of a business and often to create a “fresh” and clear image for a company (or a product, or a freelancer) we need the help of the art of simplicity. For these reasons a minimal and super-clean layout can be the perfect solution for an attractive website.
