Web Design Trends dominated in 2021: The Report

2020 was anything but normal, the 2021 - too. Consumers had their lives shaken up and many businesses experienced new challenges as well as opportunities thanks to the novel events of the year. As a result of all this upheaval and change that happened in 2021, the landscape is changing.

Most important Trends

The interactive report, published on Shaping Design, goes through dozens of examples of sites that try to come up with original and unexpected solutions. It’s not all just about the examples though. The showcase covers how designers live through the repercussions of the past year and share their insights into the future of screen design.
The entire experience has some hidden gems on its own, and it’s built on the Editor X platform. 
It comes complete with interactions and examples that showcase these upcoming trends. 
Let’s take a look at some of them in a bit more detail.

Motion Graphics
It’s common knowledge that visual information is easier to comprehend and remember than the written word. And now that your audience is already consuming a lot of visual data on social media, your brand needs to keep up.
Graphic design tools like Adobe After Effects and website builder software programs are making things easier. Infusing the elements of space and time into UI/UX design is possible with such tools.

ID Authentication
While fingerprint sensors and facial unlock features aren’t exactly new trends in UI/UX design trends, they’re sure to go through an overhaul in 2021 and beyond. 
Mobile applications are the most susceptible to hack attacks. And that’s why it has become an essential element of UI design in apps. Security is the foremost concern today, and data thefts are on the rise. No matter what kind of service is being offered or what product is being sold, ID authentication helps build trust.

Personalized Design
Should your UI be influenced by every individual user? Yes. Netflix is a great example to follow. Or even Flipkart and Amazon. Personalized watching and buying recommendations quickly overcome the ‘I don’t need it’ buyer resistance. When the user knows the options are personalized, they accept that they need it. 
So, what cannot be personalized according to users, should be personalized as per the occasion.

Dark Mode
Also a 2021 brand design trend, dark mode is set to be a UI/UX design trend next year. The look is elegant, modern, and stylish.
While that is enough to make you want to change from black on white to white on black, that’s not all.
The dark mode has the following plus points too.
When you want the user to focus with full attention, fill forms, or if your brand requires a wider color pallet, you can give the dark mode a pass.

Voice User Interface
Screen fatigue is at an all-time high. Users need some time off-screen. And in 2021, the focus is set to shift from visual to voice.
With natural language processing capabilities on the rise, brands are focusing on voice search. The Big 5 (Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, and Google) all have a voice-based device either on the shelf or in the making. Voice assistance and smart home devices that talk to people are already becoming common. And as people get used to technology that talks, the voice-based search is going to become important.

What Next?
We have discussed the top trends that dominatet UX/UI/Web design in 2021, so now it’s time to put things into practice.
In 2022, we expect to see an abundance of bold, eye-catching websites using animation and mixed media to intensify the user experience. We’ll see experimentation with 3D design elements, a growing reliance on animation and the revamping of old aesthetics. But while the momentum is moving fashion forward, website design today is all about the elements that will put an equally bright spotlight on the browsing experience.

Evolution of 3D Design

2D pictures and flat texts are a thing of the past. When we talk about user interface design and user experience design, it is important that users get an experience that is out of the ordinary. What started with the gaming world is now spreading its wings to mobile applications and even website development.

With the introduction of 3D effects and displace avatars, the user experience can be made to be more engaging and informative. 
One effective example of such an experience is the 360-degree view. While it isn’t exactly a 3D view, 
it does give users the feeling of seeing things in real-time.

From using shadows below texts to give them a 3D appearance to using AR/VR technology 
to add 3D motion graphics in your UI design, the options are plenty.

3D elements usage

3D design elements have intrigued website users for many years now.  Thanks to evolving web technology and web designers constantly upping their game, 3D elements are being increasingly used.  This design trend is only going to become more popular as VR/AR technologies gain momentum and add extra beauty and impact to 3D elements.  

The results can be stunning.

One of the most important requirements for a successful 3D graphic is the high performance of your website.  

Your platform should be fast-loading and well-optimised. If it’s not, your site won’t be able to support such heavy content. Your website may appear slow and unresponsive, and so on.
