In
this document on web 2.0 design, there is a section on the use of fade backgrounds in web 2.0 design. Wanting to try to create pretty background for my own site, I created this fade back ground. It doesn't quite look right, and I am not exactly sure why. The fade seems to go on forever; its just too long. My inkscape skills aren't terribly good, and I am not enough of a fan of the fade to figure out any more. Instead, I trashed the fade idea and have gone with a simpler background for right now.
Also mentioned in the article are other characteristics of web 2.0 design:
- Sanserif font
- pastels
- rounded boxes
