The bright red of the numbers hurts our eyes.

If we don't like reality, we just put a haze over it. A lick of Vaseline on the lens and off we go. When we were still making real analogue SLR photos, we chose a large aperture for a small depth of field. Now we blur with Photoshop. If desired with interesting light effects, there is a tutorial for everything. The fog will not lift for the entire coming year.
The campfire crackles, we huddle together in warm sweaters. “Once upon a time…” someone list to data begins. There is no better remedy for misery than a good story. With increasingly advanced JavaScript animations, the so-called parallax effect, websites tell stories. Moving elements carry or support the story. The great thing about this animation technique is that smartphones and tablets have no problem with it. Every self-respecting company will have its corporate story performed in a parallax animation in 2013, just you wait.
Bright colours are completely out of fashion this season. If we do come across them, we wash them at sixty degrees with the cheapest detergent we can find. Baby blue, soft yellow, salmon pink and moss green are the result. We almost whisper about it.
In the eighties we went to the disco and we thought color gradients were cool. Colors that went from red to yellow to green to blue were really funny. After the eighties the color gradient was only used on posters of community center parties and in logos of IT companies with pimples.
The color gradient has been a recurring theme in recent months. The new CSS3 gradient capabilities and the colorful cast over Instagram photos that we all love so much definitely have something to do with it.
Together, diagonally and nicely between the lines. Just like in the old days in Miss Annemarie's class. The script font remains hip, also in the coming season. The web designers who do their best in 2013 will receive a sticker from us.
It reminds us of typography from the old days. Of lead type that was centered and justified by hand. Such artisanal monk work required a firm line underneath. Justifying and centering is fortunately not that much work anymore, but a line still works very well.
