It’s fun to think about what kind of design trends we’ll see with portfolios in 2010. With full on adoption of CSS3 and HTML5 just over the horizon, I sense there will be a lot of experimentation with these technologies and plenty of jQuery sprinkled in.

It also seems like bright, 80′s neon colors against dark backgrounds is making waves with portfolio designs and the ‘Apple’ chrome look is on its way out. I also think we’ll see a continued increase in image sizes as larger screen resolutions become more standard and I hope we’ll see more creative treatments like panoramic background side-scrolling and bubbly, fun, and colorful illustrative treatments.

I personally like the versatility of (and simplicity) of having my portfolio slide show accessible via lightbox on ever changing WordPress skins. Some of which I plan to build from scratch…if I ever find the time.

Here’s even more portfolio design trends to keep an eye out for in 2010.
