Does any of you people know if there exists a catalogue of commonly seen styles of webdesign?
I’m thinking of something like this article, which presents 5 distinct styles; Grungy, Minimal, Metallic, Abstract + Transparency and Web 2.0. I’m not sure the last one is clearly defined, but the others are clearly some archtypical styles.
Have you ever seen a catalogue like this?
Yes, that’s fairly close to what I had in mind. Thanks.
There are a bunch of on-line design magazines
To name just a few
something like http://www.designmeltdown.com/archive.aspx ?
You will need to dig through the archives but Smashing Magazine’s inspiration section has a whole range of articles dedicated to stuff like grungy or minimalistic design:
Also: This site doesn’t categorise the designs, but it has big previews so you can easily pick and categorise the entries: http://www.drawar.com/gallery/
