UI Trends to Keep Up With in 2021
As we enter 2021, let’s take a look at some creative, inspiring, and promising trends that are bound to shape the future of UI design.
Adding that extra dimension & depth to an interface is now preferred over traditional flat images. 3D graphic renders allow to present the product or services in a much more interactive and engaging way: for instance, 3D graphic renders could be viewed in 360-degree presentation improving the overall UX of the product.
This effect creates a “through-the-glass” feel for visual elements. Users seem to be tired of solid colours that have been overused and iPhone app developers India have started preferring blurred and frosted backgrounds. One of the more mainstream applications of this design appeared in Apple’s macOS Big Sur which rolled out in 2020. The Fluent Design System, innovated by Microsoft, employs Glassmorphism as well.
Users have started taking a liking for pastel colours on interfaces. This helps them differentiate and remember brands & products better. Colour shades also help you add a bold and bright effect to your websites as follows.
Lime Green – refreshing and balancing
Fire Red – reveals strong emotions, enthusiasm, and energy
Yellow – bold and positive
Blue and Teal – health, calmness
Sometimes all we need is a simple, minimal, easy-to-understand UI. Today minimalism is one of the wide-spread trends in the design of websites and mobile apps development in India . Applied wisely, it helps users to see the core elements of the interface and makes the user journey intuitive and purposeful. Moreover, minimalist interfaces usually look sophisticated and uncluttered bringing aesthetic satisfaction as one of the factors of desirability in UX.
Minimal design lets your content stand out. A perfect example here would be Apple’s website.
Big fonts lend a modern look to web & app interfaces, thereby easily grabbing user’s attention. In addition to that, you could add experimental typefaces that may include funky shapes or strokes, color, or animation. Use typography trends that try to push the boundaries of what’s common but make sure to maintain readability.
Dark themes tend to provide sleeker & sharper aesthetics to the screen. In fact, this dark mode theme has been the default look for most coding text editors which are being used by or web developers as it increases readability.
Animated Illustrations: Illustrations as very popular design elements add a natural feel and “human touch” to the overall UX of our products. Another benefit of applying motion is capturing users’ attention and making users engage with your product. Animations are also one of the most effective ways to tell the story about your brand, product, or services.
These tiny enticing & delightful moments add incredible value to your users while using the product. Micro-interactions are important not from a utility or ROI perspective, rather they increase the stickiness of the product and service and help generate positive word-of-mouth for the company.
Make sure you adhere to most of these trends for reaching out to the million customers out there.
