10 Web design trends you can expect to see in 2014

10 Web design trends you can expect to see in 2014 | Must Design | Scoop.it
December is always a great time to look back on the year that was and the new year that is soon to come. There are many exciting things that 2014 has in store for us who live, work, ...
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Great UI for this look at 2014 Web Design Trends. Trends are inline with consensus including:

* Better and more artistic type online (cloud may help this too).

*  Flat design.

* Large heroes kill sliders (hope so, sliders are distracting & bad). 

* More MOBILE (thinking and design).

* VIDEO instead of text (YES).
* The LONG Scroll (already seeing this). 
* Simple colors (and NEON accents from another trends post).

* Simplified Content (lean content, visual content).
* Dropping the sidebar (especially magazine-type designs).

* Image manipulation (old is new, new old, Instagram-ization).
* More crazy cool stuff (agree cloud is going to change design and then change it again). 

Love the way they say VIDEO instead of text and I would modify to say hyper-short video (Vine-like).
