Yesterday I wrote about retro designs on the web. A major factor in achieving that retro look is choosing the right typeface.

Retro styles are popular in just about every aspect of design. I love looking at them to see how the designer puts together a look and feel that conveys a long gone era. Take a look at fashion, advertising, print and even cars. Designers revisit the past to plunder the good, the bad and the sometimes downright ugly elements to use in new design. Web designers are no different of course and there are many fabulous web sites out there using retro styles.

Every layout begins with a blank page or empty space. When we add an element, its placement can be determine how successful the design will be. Effective design initiates communication and an interest from the viewer whether it’s in print or on the web.
In a typical web layout, a designer needs to place a logo, text, photographs or illustration. By making a conscious effort to work on the relationship between these elements to produce an eye catching design.
