Why Bespoke Illustrations are Trending in Web Design

Posted on | by moocow

At MooCow, we pride ourselves on having the most up to date knowledge on the hottest web trends. With technology and techniques developing daily, take a look at what 2017 has in store for the world of web design.

Whilst many businesses are still opting for a traditional approach of plumping up their sites with bold typefaces and pristine layouts, others are jumping on a slightly different bandwagon. Hand drawn illustrations are a hot pick for up and coming web sites, with many of the creative industries choosing to adorn their sites with hand drawn graphics and typography.

Not only is it a fun way to personalise your site, it allows your web page to be custom crafted and show off your talents if you’re a master doodler yourself. Brands often set themselves apart by having unique and off-beat logos, designs & layouts, so you never know – having your web page plastered in drawings and free-style artwork could actually make you the next web page super star.

A few of our favourite sites that showcase some serious talent when it comes to illustration include Legwork Studios, Future Living and Proud & Punch. Take a look at their sites or have a look at the Awwwards site for award-winning design inspirations.

Dare to be different this year, with website designs offering bespoke graphics that dazzle with colour. Geometric typefaces, bright background layouts and block colours are currently a major trend, alongside typography that’s big and bold. Over–sized or hand drawn fonts make your brand name stand out from the crowd, and this year will see websites rejuvenating font favourites like Futura PT & Proxima Nova giving your site that retro feel.

Whether it’s luminous pinks and greens to cooler pastel shades, 2018 is all about re-branding your business through the use of colour. Make a statement, tell a story or even just have a backdrop that will wow your web page visitors. However you decide to give your site a makeover, be sure to get colour creative.
