Biggest design trends for 2020
Design trends 2020 are an ideal mixture of the visual side of graphic design and the high-tech side of evolving technology. I can’t hide that once I started researching, I’ve been impressed with the modern design.
Designers are getting incredibly creative while keeping the applications/services functional and clean of clutter. Still, they manage to create pieces that stand out.
So, I’d say the visuals for 2020 could be described in a single phrase: a self-fulfilling prophecy. From Blade Runners saga to vaporwave music genre, we have been predicting this neon, shiny and a bit dark future for the world. Now, as we are approaching the third decade of the 21 century, then 2020 is ready to be wide-ranging expertise in internet style. Designers won’t get it wrong to use a touch of vivacious colours and artistic mixes not tried before.
Some trends, like gradients, a square measure is creating a comeback through this point as dynamic gradients. Meaning if the flat style decides to require a nap, it may die a certain death beginning in 2020. (Just saying tho) And dynamic gradients may take over the complete darn house — a minimum of for a short while.
Make’s not linger any more and dig right into design trends 2020.
1. Keeping it Minimal
Giving white space or playing around with white space is the new trend in the store. Designs are now becoming minimal nature; it simplifies a broader concept. Studies say minimal concepts/styles convey more attention than complicated ones.
Things you can implement to maintain it minimal while crafting an application:
Hidden navigation bar
Minimum of buttons
Minimum of colours
Use multiple, different fonts
2. Interactivity with User
High-quality interactive designs involve the creation of more complex and dynamic elements. 2020 is going to be a year where we will see a lot of design ecosystem that include micro-interactions, animated scrolling and parallax and so on to bring the best user experience to the end-user. Maintaining high standards of visual aesthetics with subtle experiences.
3. The design should be UX Adaptive & Readable
The design we craft should be readable when it appears on any screen with any resolution. It is the critical requirement for 2020. As 2020 is the year where the accessible design won’t get comprised for the visual aesthetics. Secondly, the UX content of design should be wrapped in whatever shape and form we put it, being readily available.
Non-UX-Adaptive designs and designs which are made without considering the accessibility factor are inconvenient to work for the users. And 2020 its high time to prioritise on the UX adaptiveness and accessibility
Use of Motion Design
Today’s users are impatient, and they want the information or service they are searching for very quickly. This problem has to be addressed in 2020 by implementing the use of motion in your design language. As motion helps the user to be effective, understand complicated things. And the application of practical motion principles in your design makes a bridge between your design and the user as it grabs down the attention of the user and also saves his time while interacting with your design along with giving them the best remarkable experience.
5. Attractive In-App Notifications & Push Notifications
Also known as in-app messages, in-app notifications are messages that pop up while a user is in your app. In-app notifications come in the form of full-screen pop-ups or small overlays, styled to fit your app’s user interface. The content of these in-app notifications could include asking users to rate the app, asking users for push notification opt-ins, and more.
Users today have a hard time remembering what apps they even have on their device. Push notifications help these services deliver timely and relevant information to users, and in doing so, staying top of mind.
Notifications at their core are simply a way of alerting users to information that they have opted-in to from apps and services. Notifications encompass nearly every possible use case and type of service, including other communications mediums like email, SMS, and VoIP.
And with such importance, we have to make these notifications much interactive and delightful that user will never feel irritated and turn off notifications for your ecosystem that you designed.
The best way to design in-app notifications is through trial and error with A/B testing. That way, you can present the best, most engaging content to the enormous volume of users, having studied multiple variables such as call-to-action text and promotion types.
Humanly writing
UX writing trends from the past couple of years it has set standards high for writers in design.
Writing is not different from the design its the part of the design. Writing is as important as what happens after it — the picture is a reader’s mind and their action. Humanly writing allows a reader to judge, choose, and relate to the product.
Changes have to adapt according to change in trends; otherwise, you will be outdated. Designers have to pay more attention to current trends and update every day with new trends. Said that would end the story by a motivation saying from Michael Jordan. That should inspire each of us to explore the latest trends and deliver the best to our users. As being a designer, we are their advocates in solving the problem.
