Web design combines visual aspects with new techniques that are constantly changing. The designers are completely hanging on to experimenting with new design patterns to improve visual elements and simultaneously working to encompass better viewer experience.
2020 has many more ideas for web designing. Here are some smart design trends not to be overlooked.
1) Dark Mode
Now almost all applications have introduced their dark mode updated version. This simply shows how acceptable it’s for the users. Dark mode enabling is helpful to maintain eye-health and saves battery life of OLED screens thus expanding screen lifespan.
This perfectly fits with other color-design trends like dark and moody color schemes(the combination of glowing neons and futuristic yet dark cyberpunk and dystopian styles). Dark-mode-designed websites seem better to give a relaxed experience for the users to scroll till the end and stay with the elegant style of designing.
2) Hand-drawn icons for brand’s personality
Some hand-drawn icons, images can be more appealing. The pixel-perfect-flat designs are redefined to imperfect-hand-drawn images to add personality to the brand. The positive and vibrant colors would stand out your brand from the rest. The scratchy edges, open shapes reflect humanity and emotion into websites to get more visitors.
3) Encouraging 3D elements
3D visuals are entertaining for any age. The new trend in web designing would be merging these 3D visual elements to get longer user engagement. The advantage of 3D visual is it can convey the idea or concept easily than typically created designs. The 3D designs interact more convincingly. The immersive 3D designs break the boundaries between digital space and reality.
4) Soft shadows with floating elements
This technique gives more depth to your website and the 3D elements become more interactive. Adding floating elements with texts, images improve user’s interest and it’s definitely a contrast from the old-fashioned, classic well-flat design layers.
5) Mixing photography with graphics
The mixing of real photographs with graphics adds more personality to your brand that is essential for more easy communication. This collage-like trend has occupied newly created websites to give it more fashionable outwear.
6) Wide frames of white space
Designers are experimenting on how to create a space where ideas and interaction be more attractive. The trending is solid frames of white space to give designs more structure and a feel to be engaged with the content. It can separate the borders, designs appealing more stable. This whitespace allows more flexibility by shining visuals with a perfect foundation of clarity.
7) Courageous combination of colors
As 2020 started we see a courageous combination of black, pink and blue to give perfect finishing for modern websites. The combination of muted, dark shades with glow-in-the-dark neons and saturated colors gives designs a luminous and bold feel.
8) Large-scale images with voice script and less text
In 2020 websites will use more voice scripts and less text to facilitate easier navigation. And the inspiring trend will be using huge photos with small text showing brands’ personality and vision to get people to spend interestingly on the website. New experimentations reject description and emphasize precise content with encouraging visuals.
