3 Essential Design Trends, November 2022

Color and depth are key themes this month as we look at what design trends are happening across websites. Red is the primary color of choice, and you can see it almost everywhere; the new thing is that it’s being used in backgrounds and as more than an accent color. Additionally, 3D elements and depth of field are making significant impressions. Here’s what’s trending in design this month. 1. Red Backgrounds Red is the color of power, passion, and attention, but until recently, it wasn’t the go-to choice for website backgrounds. Now trending is red as a background color. These designs are bold and in-your-face with bright color, an almost brash feel in some cases, and a lot of impact. But it works. In the projects below, red is a powerful tool to help convey the message of the website desi...

3 Essential Design Trends, October 2022

This month, it’s all about the images. Each of the design trends we spotted has to do with the images you select – or don’t select – for a project and how you use them. Here’s what’s trending in design this month. 1. Floating Images Sometimes you design off the grid intentionally. Other times you are designing on a grid that’s maybe not-so-obvious. One of these things is happening with the floating images website design trend. Here, you’ll see images and image containers that don’t seem to have any direction with their placements. They may or may not include animation, that further emphasizes the floating effect. Floating images can include: Cutouts that aren’t anchored to anything or any container Images that are scattered on the canvas Images in oddball placements that don’t seem to serv...

3 Essential Design Trends, June 2022

Are you bored with some of your current design projects? This month’s collection of website design trends can help break you out of that rut with some fun and funky alternatives. And all of these options are anything but boring. From visual display to technique, these trends present a different set of challenges. Here’s what’s trending in design this month. 1. Layers on Layers These website designs have so many layers of information that you almost don’t know where to look or where the design elements start and stop. This can be a complex technique to make work because of the number of elements competing for the same attention in the design. What you are likely to see with this design tend includes an image or video background with some motion but not anything that truly demands attention....

5 Big Web Design Predictions for 2022

Every year, at this time, blogs like this one like to try and predict what’s going to happen in the year ahead. It’s a way of drawing a line under the archive and starting afresh. A rejuvenation that, as humans, we find life-affirming. Ten years ago, I would have had high confidence in these predictions — after all I was eventually right about SVG adoption, even if it took a decade. But the last few years have shown that web design is tightly interwoven with the muggle world, and that world is anything but predictable. So as we look at what might occur in the next year (or five), think of it less as a set of predictions and more as a wishlist. Last Year’s Predictions When I write this post every January, I like to keep myself honest by glancing back at the previous year’s predictions to ga...

How Illustration Adds Emotion To UX

From 45,000-year-old cave paintings to 21st-century space rocket diagrams, illustrations have long played a significant role in human communication. Pictures cross-language and literacy barriers, allowing people to understand and communicate complex moods and feelings that they cannot in words. When we were little, we could understand and appreciate E.H. Shepard’s illustrations of Winnie the Pooh and friends long before we could read A.A. Milne’s words. The word ‘to illustrate’ has two main meanings: to create a picture of; and to demonstrate or provide an example of. In the context of the web, illustration is part decoration, part emotional signal, helping to create a particular impression to the user by painting a metaphorical picture. Why Use Illustrations on a Website? Illustrations pr...

3 Essential Design Trends, February 2021

It’s hard to believe we are more than a month into 2021 already. But that means more trends to dive into this year, right? So far, the biggest trend of 2021 in website design is an overall lack of people in imagery. It’s not that surprising with a worldwide pandemic happening, but it can mean that designers are branching out in other ways to enhance visual interest in their designs. Here’s what’s trending in design this month. 1. Non-Traditional Nav An interesting way to create visual interest can be to mix up the location, size, or placement of the main navigation menu. While it can be hard to think about not using a top navigation element or a corner placement for a hamburger menu or icon, it is a solid option depending on the number of menu items and surrounding content. And there are s...

3 Essential Design Trends, January 2021

Don’t drop the ball on these website design trends for the new year. All of the trends featured here this month are visual in nature – not as many user interface elements as previous months, but all just as stunning and usable. Here’s what’s trending in design this month. 1. 3D Scenes on White (Light) Three-dimensional scenes are not just a trend this month but are likely to be one of the biggest website design trends that you see all year. They offer a great way to show off product imagery, design something with illustrations or animation for visual impact, and provide usability and understandability cues for users. It’s a versatile technique that can work with real or created images and are also “COVID-friendly,” something designers have had to think a lot about in the past few months. (...
