Eye for detail

Using a simple layout is alway good, even better as a busy web site. More important for designers is how that actually can be done. The last days I read two nice articles about this subject, so here is my post to share them.

With some examples, the CSS Guy explains how Dingbat fonts can be used to put some nice details in your design. However, he didn’t mention where you can get those Dingbat fonts. So try to look at Dafont, but I think you knew that one already. For browsing the downloaded fonts, I always use The Font Thing, a freeware tool to browse, compare and test fonts.

The second article, was a prediction for 2007 by Keith. Not for web sites generally, but only for design. Keith also notices simplicity will be more important this year.
