Let’s jump in the multifarious world of geometry where we can find a great random of different figures and forms. It’s difficult to mention all of them, but the most frequently used geometrical shapes in web design are square, circle, triangle, rhombus and hexagon.
According to the geometric definition of a hexagon, it is a polygon with six edges and six vertices. Probably because of its original shape and unusual form the hexagon design becomes really popular trend that stands out from the rest. Surfing the net, you can notice that hexagon figures are used as the web elements, shapes for sliders, menu categories, buttons, etc. Usually hexagons are displayed with sharp angles, but sometimes they can be a little rounded.
Designer workflow is about creativity, so that’s why the hexagon shape brings its new trend in our web presence.

We’ve received a lot of comments on last week’s article “25 Websites Inspired by Trees” and these comments have motivated us to write a new article but this time we’ll focus on Web Templates inspired by trees.
It was nice to find so many templates that come with the illustrations and images of trees. As you’ll see below trees are mostly popular in Flash templates, Flash 8 templates, CSS static templates, etc. Each Web Template is an original artwork and the only thing they all have in common is that they have been designed with a tree in mind.
While the previous article was only a source of inspiration this article offers various examples of how your future website can look like. Thus, not only you can enjoy the quality of web templates but also find a design solution to suit your needs. In other words this article may be a good find for those who want their sites to be decorated with trees.

We agree that the above mentioned web design trends are very popular in modern web design. However, we would like to add some more trends like using circles, adding customized testimonial components and creating many personalized websites that come with author’s picture, author’s illustration and collage.
A while back there were a lot of sites that use floral elements. Currently their number has reduced. Still, many web designers keep up with this trend. This article aims to show you the sites that are still decorated with floral elements and also find out if flower illustrations, floral brushes, floral vectors and icons are still popular in web design.
Some people believe floral elements look outdated and boring. See what Jacqueline of WebDesignLedger.com says about it, “These embellishments are often created to emphasize an artsy site, and can be done very well, especially if the designer is particularly gifted in graphic art. The problem is that this look has been seen in an obscene amount of sites, and is no longer fresh or unexpected. The flowers are dying.”
To my mind floral elements still look up to date because each of them is a true piece of art that can never be reproduced. We are sure the more unique designs the better.
Today we hope to hear your opinion. Look through 13 websites that use floral elements and answer a simple question, “Do you think designers should avoid floral elements in their works or not?” Please explain your point of view in comments.
