2019 has finally arrived! As always, the new year comes with a number of new trends which are expected to dominate the market. Here’s a quick look at a few web and graphic design trends which will be popular in 2019.
Natural organic shapes are seeing popularity. More and more designs are moving away from the rigid grid layout with sharp shapes towards free flowing and smooth lines.
Because of the dominance of mobile viewing, websites with thumb friendly viewing are seeing a rise in favourability amongst internet users. Navigation optimised for thumb use is becoming more prevalent.
Light and dark modes are seeing a major rise in popularity. Users are wanting darker modes which are friendlier on the eyes when viewing in low light, and companies are listening – YouTube, Apple and Facebook have all seen significant development into light and dark modes.
Microinteractions are continuing to increase in popularity. They are small animations which create minor visual effects such as a shake when selecting a box.
Open compositions are becoming more and more popular as designers are dropping the rigid, grid like designs for free-flowing designs which don’t show the whole picture. Couple this with asymmetrical elements to really make your designs pop.
Bold colours are also popular at the moment as designers are using more vibrant colours to help their work stand out from the pack.
