In this article Subsgin(author) touches on the trends we saw in 2015 and their evolution and shift into 2016. They focus on web design trends that support mobile platforms because as stated "Nearly half of all online traffic in 2015 came from mobile devices." Some of the highlights include interfaces built on cards, which is when information is displayed on cards much like a drivers license. There is typically some sort of image with info around it giving a very precise and neat presentation while also being supported on mostly any platform. "Illustrations and drawings" were also noted as being a hot trend in 2016 that was very easy to duplicate and typically supported on all platforms as well. Sort of like Emoticons, this is when images are represented using an illustration typically resembling that of a cartoon. Overall, I found it was very interesting to see trends outlined in an article as I may have previously seen them in website designs but never truly realized the importance or details of how they came to be.
