I think it boils down to the difference between design and art. Artistic websites are supposed to break barriers and experiment with different styles. We see such examples in portfolio websites or showcase websites. Designing for software which millions use need to be less overwhelming and accessible to people. And the simplest way to do it is using flat ui, which has proven to be functional, visually pleasing and non intrusive

@zenithquasar9623 5 месяцев назад

Your UX will always matter more than your UI when it comes to that.

@frazuri1877 5 месяцев назад

Totally, not every company can afford to make visually extravagant design and not every software needs something like that, if im making a software for clients, okay sure, maybe do something else, something different, but when working with inside software, you want it to be as understandable as possible, making sure the logic behind it is right, the UI must be understandable. The purpose of design is to adapt to its environment, not go with the trends, design needs balance and flat design is part of that as well as the more 3d like designs.

The truth is, 90% of the world is having a hard time getting used to a new app and in many cases they'll give up if they can. Flat design created something familiar everywhere, and being "boring" was the actual purpose. Now millions of ppl around the world see themselves as technology oriented thanks to this simple and familiar design. So making things more creative and interesting might be a risk for most companies but thats just how i see it.

@Silverjerk 6 месяцев назад

It’s not working though. Flat design’s purpose was to make the web and applications cleaner, clearer, and more usable. It was a minor solution to a major problem; it was trying to fix a much larger scope issue. It only took us a few years to learn what we needed was better hierarchy, design systems, user journeys and subsequently better user flow. We thought the web wasn’t working as efficiently as it could because of how busy and heavy-handed our designs had become. Sometimes you need to sweep the floor to realize you need to mop. That’s all that has happened in this case. Flat design isn’t dead, it’s just that we’ve all realized that it was a symptom and not the problem, and now designers are finding new and interesting ways to incorporate more interesting design elements into our UIs while maintaining good UX. We can still use flat design as the skeleton for our design systems, to keep the core structure clean and organized. I’ve already found interesting ways to do this using Figma components, so the major components retain a cohesive and homogenous look, while hi fidelity designs can add flourishes and interesting design elements to add a layer of polish and engagement. After 25 years working in this industry, I’ve seen this same cycle over and over again. No one is truly saying “flat design is dead” or over; it’s intended to be facetious but also highlight a movement away from tired tropes and patterns. It’s just a way for people to take notice and try something different. It wasn’t intended to be a definitive and literal assertion.

I am very sad that this type of video and all of the opinions from this video can influence inexperienced designers in thinking that this new cool trend of over-designed and complex looking component is something that will be the next “trend”. If this is the case UI designer would user Illustrator rather than Figma to create their components.

@moishyneulander 5 месяцев назад

What companies have realized in the last 10 years, including Airbnb, is that in product design, usability, consistency, and leaning on conventions matter most. This is why flat design became standard, and this is why we ‘drag and drop.’ And it’s here to stay. While there are occasional yearly trends, they seem unlikely to replace it anytime soon. Design innovation and trends should not be pursued just for the sake of being creative and trendy. This is my perspective.

@wge621 4 месяца назад

Consistency matters more for certain elements than others. For example, icons, or layouts, common terms etc. But colors and styling can always change between companies, there are many aspects that can be unique stylistic changes without sacrificing UX consistencies

It's not just a matter of adding gradient and bevels to buttons. Those things we know doesn't age well. But AirBnB is going on an interesting direction, bringing drop shadows and background gradient to add depth, and glow along with gradients as if there's a light passing through. Pretty cool stuff.

@annebovelett 5 месяцев назад

As a designer, you need to understand all there is to understand about accessibility. Which means basically one thing: function over form. The challenge is to do cool design and still ensure a site is accessible. If you don't, you may find yourself in trouble at some point. In the US, but especially in the EU, where - for example - inaccessibility of e-commerce sites (and many more) can lead to big fines for site owners. In California, they are working on a bill where site owners can sue companies that made their site when they are hit with an accessibility lawsuit. Flat design is there for a reason. If you want to do funky skeuomorphism, that's great! But make sure colour contrast, font-size, etc. are respected. Beside the legal factor: it's a fact that sites designed with accessibility in mind convert better.

@semtitulo2909 5 месяцев назад

@Tekay37 5 месяцев назад

3:18 If you want to go down a design/art rabbit hole for a video: I think the recent era of flat and simple design happened as part of the same cycle of designs you had with pillar designs from the ancient greek. Their first pillars were just "flat" cylindrical pillars, Then they added channeling to the pillars and added even more sophisticated designs at the top and bottom of the pillars, before at some point they went back to very simple pillars. You will find examples for this patterns over and over again throughout history. Art becoming more and more photorealistic and impressive before going back to simpler styles like Impressionism just to escalate in complexity again. Understanding how and why those shifts occur can maybe predict predicting them and maybe staying ahead of those developments.

Put all these whistles and bells on a UI element and try to hand it off to a front-end developer.

And the sad part is “because it’s cool” isn’t an answer they care about. It’s not an answer they will care about. Sure, if you own the product or business, make your website 3D and gamified, and push webgpu to the limits. Set your blog inside an interactive library. But businesses are not going to pay for that when a flat design that sells their products just fine will suffice and be a LOT cheaper to build.

AFAIK flat design and IPhone like simple icons is an outom for screen sizes and DPI differences, and a problem os scaling. Most of the people do not understand the difference between SVG and PNG, and try to display 16x16 pixel icon on 4K monitor (or mobile screen). To make it look good you actually need to write some code. Using SVG is not enough, ex you need some grid on image background, how will you tile it? will you provide 50 versions of icon for 50 screen resolutions? and even SVG should be optimized for different screen sizes

I do agree none-flat design is a lot more refreshing. However as a full time developer that actually has to turn these designs into a real world application , a future filled with bloat and complexity scares me. There are some method that can be used with little performance implications (neumorphism and glassmorphism) are some of them. However I just hope this doesn’t get too crazy. Native css animations can impact performance heavily. And 3D canvas packages increase the amount of bloat and JavaScript that need to be shipped to the user.

To call the design on the left “skeuomorphism is, to my mind, an abuse of the word. Adding a bit of depth to buttons can be useful to distinguish actionable elements from non-actionable. The moderate drop-shadowing of the left side (cf. men and women) adds visual interest without sacrifice any of the advantages touted for flat design, and has the advantage of distinguishing actionable elements.

Since I'm in the AR/VR space, I'm definitely into the glassmorphism design style.

How do you present a complex domain to the user in a way they can access and manipulate it quickly and efficiently? And how do you meet those requirements for different user contexts? You’re always going to need a button for certain things. It needs to be usable and accessible for the job it’s intended for. It just needs to meet the need of the user, whilst being visually appealing without being visually distracting.

Just saying what I see, everyone can view it through their own filter, but I'd rather have even a handful of delightful UI's as a result :-)

Natural and tactile designs just as new air bnb that feeling natural always gets me. While technology advances I want it to see more tactile yet using huge negative space kind of designs. Just like Dieter Rams devices, houses like the videos from "Local Project" RU-vid channel, I want minimalistic and breathing natural feeling which is away from distraction and has tactile and premium feeling.

I wouldn't mind prettier design, but flat design works and because it's so standard now, is pretty intuitive for most people. I wouldn't want new designs that sacrifice functionality/intuitiveness, because 90% of the time I'm using an interface, I just need to get something done, and want an interface that communicates where to press clearly

@mycombs 3 месяца назад

So 2 issues are being conflated here: UX and UI design. Visual designers might follow your trend and update a design system to use these dimensional or interactive design trends. But UI and development are absolutely going to keep using the design system and component libraries to build sites (with new designs being applied at a library-level)

As someone who started web design in 2010 as a hobby and now currently working as a mobile app developer, those glossy buttons, cluttered-information-overload homepages and moving texts is not something I want to go back to. Realistically, the next trend Im expecting and already starting to see is flat designs with some minor 3d elements like the logo.

Creative ideas and experimentations are cool but they can’t get in the way of usability by breaking interaction norm that most people expect. The peel away start button for example: sliding button is interesting but always test worse than clickable buttons during testing

@MalewiczHype 5 месяцев назад

I completely agree! I'm not saying "replace all flat stuff with something crazy and don't test". My point is to TRY new things, see how they work and when mixing some non-flat stuff don't go too far, only do one or two non-flat things with an otherwise flat design to add some uniqueness to it. All in moderation.

a lot of work and i mean a loooooot from lib/framework that we already use to browser compatibility issues to accessibality the flat design made all these easier and yet it got a long way to go ... those however is a beast by itself ... personally as someone who loves math i like were this is going as this will be more spice and challenge to my work and weed out a lot of lazy repetitive work but it by no mean fav in business perspective it adds time and that's money but hey three.js got a lot of popularity cuz it made 3d in web way easier we need more work in that department but let's see how things goes

Design is progressive, cyclical, and also reactive. After a dominant phase in design, the response to stand out and differentiate is decidedly in the other direction. Minimalism becomes maximalism, skinny jeans become wide leg, monochromatic becomes exploding with color. Then after a time, the new thing gets stale and boring and the cycle repeats. The talk about the merits and demerits of a single design style undermine the natural ebb and flow of design over time. Essentially, we’ll go through many more of these cycles, infinitely, as we see this complex interplay unfold.

@loopzz5526 2 месяца назад

Flat design is and will be the best form of design while designing for user friendly UIs until something revolutionary comes like the VR world, After all businesses want conversion more than anything, also it's so intuitive where I don't have to guess what happens when I scroll down. Studies also show that dopamine spikes is much higher when something is 'expected' compared to 'suprises' so yeah.

It's hard to talk about creativity when most of the design trends are just following some trends set-up by major brands. Lot's of Apple-style icons and/or Google-like/purple/blue-red color palettes. :D

@VeitLehmann 3 месяца назад

I mostly agree and I'm happy to see a shift away from the ubiquitous flat design. But creating a really good flat design is not easy at all. Even if we're talking about static design only, without any interaction design, you have to be extra aware of spacing and rhythm, use of color and contrast. If you get this right, use some unique colors, and introduce some playful elements like illustrations and tasteful animations for interaction, flat design doesn't have to be boring at all.

@user-fi2mu5yx6z 5 месяцев назад

I’m a newer designer trying to get into the design field and the lack of creativity has really bummed me out lately. The realization that this profession actually downplays creativity for more safe and repetitive designs has had me second guessing my choice. I’ve had to tone down my creative designs for more standardized designs to try and get a job and still cannot. It’s very frustrating.

@znkdev 6 месяцев назад

for me... some community just stuck to get new clients, so start all new way to do things again, so they re-sell all the updates to the same clients, then after few years they change again, and that keep forever.... before the "nice" was gradient effects, shadows, etc... then flat, then gradient effects and shadows are back again..

@MalewiczHype 6 месяцев назад

Yes, this happens exactly every 7 years and we are 3 years behind schedule actually because of the strong push from efficiency. But big brands like shopify and airbnb have woken up and are helping that transition now.
