Top 5 UI/UX Trends in 2022
With the covid-19 pandemic situation and rise of remote working culture, UX/UI trends have seen a drastic changed and changing throughout the last few months and present. In this article, we will discuss 5 top UX/UI trends in 2022, and what is effecting to change the trend.
#1 Neumorphism
Flat design and skeuomorphism are combined in neumorphism. It’s a visual style that uses a combination of backdrop colors, shapes, gradients, and shadows to increase the graphic intensity of UI elements. All of this allows for a soft, extruded plastic look and almost three-dimensional styling.
Neumorphism is incompatible with usability standards. It’s almost as though it kills the user-friendliness and accessibility. There aren’t many real-world apps based on this style, either.
#2 Smooth gradients
Two major advances in gradient-based design are Microsoft’s fluent design system and Apple’s new design approach in macOS Big Sur. Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, and Meet have all had their logos changed by Google.
#3 Advance micro-interactions
Every software application has micro interaction. We utilize it on a regular basis when using other applications. Micro-interaction is exemplified by Instagram’s “Like” function and Twitter’s “Retweet” feature.
Gestures and touchless controls, for example, are advanced micro-interactions that open up new possibilities for creating a more natural experience. In 2022, we will undoubtedly see an increase in the number of these.
#4 Dark Mode
The overall appearance is sleek, trendy, and contemporary. Dark mode is becoming increasingly important in the user experience as we spend more time with our smartphones and laptops.
The dark mode, on the other hand, offers more than just white text on a black background. There are a few more benefits as well.
- If the gadget has an OLED or AMOLED screen, it saves battery life.
- In terms of text readability, it is superior.
- When using the device at night, it is great for decreasing eye strain.
- It decreases screen glare and blue light emissions.
#5 Frictionless authentication
Passwords are something we all despise.
It’s convoluted, difficult to recall, and insecure. The demand for frictionless authentication, such as social login and biometric login, will continue to grow in 2022.
