Minimalism and Visual Design

May 12, 2006

CSS · Design (Web)

I have been work­ing on sev­eral design ideas recently. The ten­sion I have felt is between min­i­mal­ism and com­ing up with a visu­ally appeal­ing design. As I have tried to min­i­mize the visual design using CSS, I have pro­duced designs that I am not too excited about. I want to find a bal­ance. I like hav­ing some visual appeal to the design with­out it detract­ing from what the user is com­ing to do, get good con­tent. I was inspired by a cou­ple of designs on CSS Zen Gar­den and was able to use that inspi­ra­tion in a design I am work­ing on.
