Introduction

• Depending on your age, you may recall what it was
  like when you first heard the term internet, and
  World Wide We
• In 1990 few people considered how the internet
  would change the entire world, including graphic
  design trends and at the same year a graphic
  design company was doing really well if they
  developed an interactive advertisement for TV.
• Then came this really unique and popular thing,
  called the World Wide Web.  It caught on pretty
  quickly, and before long retailers began to see
  what the future was, and it was all www.

Evolution of Web Design

• As it all began, advertisers reached out to
  consumers where ever they were, and where they
  were, was on the internet.  Graphic design trends
  took a whole new turn, and waded into creating
  designs for the World Wide Web. 
• A whole new world of graphic designs was being
  created, and it was no longer on a billboard, or
  a magazine page. 
• Of course, where there was an influx of
  retailers, there would also be an influx of
  advertisements, thus creating the need for firms,
  such as Lien Design, in San Diego, CA., to enter
  into this new trend of web design.

Changes in Web Design

• The very limited graphic design trends were
  impressive for the era, which was a good thing
  because they were slow, very slow.
• In 1996 introduced the birth of Flash, which
  brought with it a world of possibilities.
  Consumers could see graphic designs as never
  before, and it proved to be an attention grabber
  from the start. 
• The millennium came along, and graphic design
  trends came along as well, with improvements to
  the whole internet design concept.

Present Web Design trend

• The possibility of designs was endless, gone were
  the days of HTML, it was a new world for graphic
  design trends.
• The goal in advertising is to bring relevant
  design and information to the targeted consumer,
  and if that aspect fails, you are essentially
  left in the dust. 
• Site development is an art, and a graphic design
  firm, such as Lien Design, in San Diego,
  California, has the artists, also referred to as
  graphic design specialists. 
• These graphic design artists know what they are
  doing, enjoy what they are doing, and know how to
  speak to consumers through graphic design.

Future of the Web Design

• The World Wide Web changed graphic design trends
  over twenty years, from black and white block
  lettering, to vivid colors in a magnitude of
  graphic designs, that pull consumers in. 
• There have been so many changes and improvements,
  its often difficult to imagine what the next 20
  years will bring forth. 
• One may assume there is no way to improve over
  current technology and design, however, as
  history demonstrates, there will be improvements.
