I began my career in a print shop and then moved on to catalog production. For the first few years of my career I never designed anything related to the web. As I continued my career as a graphic designer I eventually started designing banner ads for the web, animated gifs, and eventually web sites. However, my heart always carried me back to print design. I have always enjoyed designing for print more than web.

Recently I’ve noticed a shift in web designs where the look is very ‘flat’. The designs could very easily be transfered to a printed piece. This flat design is quickly becoming a new trend and this trend is leading me to want to do more web design. I love this look as it is modern, easy to navigate and very trendy looking.

Here are some examples of flat web design.
