2007 is very close to us and it is time to predict what this year will bring to design, as far as I can see:

• round corners will dominate the borders of modern websites. The good part is that we are able to create these round corners using no images, but CSS and Javascript
• decorative dingbats will give the spice to all modern website designs around. A good resource for this is Nature section in Dingbat category at Dafont.com
• page footers / bottoms will continue to be embraced by many designers in the way Powazek stated at the end of 2005
• the colors are keeping to go light but violent, with less and less gray, the contrast being the effect the designers will try to catch in order to make their designs having more impact
• Web 2.0 buttons will conquer the websites by asking for more and more attention of the visitor’s
• background pages will tend to be more abstract than patterned
• those small icons at the left/right of the links will continue to stay there and spice up the links
