UI trends 2019
Summary: UI trends 2019
#1 Typography and storytelling
Typography doesn’t only make a great tool to create your brand image. Combine it with a great copy to get a story users can immerse themselves in.
#2 Illustration and animated graphics
As 2019 approaches, micro-animations are gaining in popularity. They help customers distinguish elements on the screen to interact with.
#3 Colors, gradients and the overlapping effect
The overlapping effect consists of colors, text or image. Overlaps can create a sense of space, and thus a more structured interface.
#4 AI
In 2019, AI technology will continue to approach perfection, which should lead to smooth and consistent interaction. By 2020, voice will likely perform 50% of all search engine queries.
#5 VR
Virtual reality plays a strong role in UI trends and it’s not going away. We could call it the internet of experiences because of its effect on users.
#6 AR
Designers will need to go beyond screen-only interfaces to include physical interactions. AR has ushered in a new era in UI design and a new way of thinking.
#7 3D graphics
Although the mass market has low demand for this technology and it seemed a bit unusual for websites, 3D elements rendered specifically for a platform also made it onto this year’s UI trend list.
In conclusion, UX/UI designers need to work with creativity and innovation. While we can’t avoid the desire for one-of-a-kind status, keeping up-to-date on the latest trends and adapting to them accordingly on the platform remains crucial.
