UI/UX Design Trends

There are several UI/UX trends we listdown below :-

Skeuomorphism

Skeuomorphism is a type of design style commonly used in user interface design to try and mimic how real-world objects and interfaces appear and
function when users interact with them. Since skeuomorphism design is a digital mirror to how an object would appear in the real-world, it increases
recognition and improves the speed at which a user may learn how to use the UI when already familiar with its real-world counterpart. This is likely why
Skeuomorphism was one of the most popular design styles for user interfaces at the launch of the smartphone and in early-on desktop computing.

2. Neumorphism / Soft UI

Neumorphism combines flat design and skeuomorphism. It is a visual style that combines background colors, shapes, gradients, and shadows to ensure
UI elements’ graphic intensity. All that allows achieving a soft, extruded plastic look and almost 3D styling.
Neuromorphic UI’s are elegant; there is no doubt about that. Its’ soft UI elements feel so comfortable.

3. Glassmorphism

Glassmorphism has emerged as a fresh trend in interface design. This design style is characterized by translucent frosted glass like effect, hence the
name Glassmorphism, that adds depth and visual hierarchy in your UI and can be effectively utilized to put focus on the content you want to highlight.

4. Smooth gradients

Gradients are hence a great way to make designs a lot more interesting—they’re simple, yet complex. And so, many-a-time, I find gradients to be just a tad
bit confusing. That being said, I’ve created a ‘gradients checklist’ that I refer to whenever I’m using gradients for UI, so I’m able to unleash their full
potential. Below, you’ll find the deck of questions I ask myself each time I’m using or plan to use gradients-- a list that brings my designs one step closer
to receiving the response it yearns for—a “WOW!”
Microsoft’s fluent design system and the new design approach by Apple in macOS Big Sur are two of the big pushes in gradient-based designs. Google
also joined the party with redesigned logos of Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs and Meet.

5. Soft Gradients

In the era of minimalism, it's a design sin to stick to flashy and bright gradients. Designers have already transitioned into using smart gradients in their
design. The trend for low-key gradients came from the web along with flat-design. However, gradients are needed in graphic design to give the image
volume and “depth”, so you just have to refuse “screaming” colours. Sensibilities of the user have changed in the last decade. Experiences online are a
mere experience of our physical existence, which is why technology and art often ape each other.
