Web design is no doubt a tricky business. Being able to present all the right information to users in a way that will both appeal to them and encourage them to digest it is difficult. To add another layer of complexity, search bars, filters and forms require an extra little bit of attention to detail to make sure users know first of all what they're for and secondly how they work.
This collection of 7 web design crowdsourcing projects highlights how web forms in web design can work. With a mixture of colour, black and white, complex and simple – every aspect is covered. We hope this round provides some inspiration for your next web design project.
