You might have noticed that almost every app and website now comes with this feature. From YouTube to Gmail, users seem to love this simple yet aesthetically appealing design. The dark mode also reduces eye strain and conserve the battery power of the device. Earlier intended to be used in the night time, people are opting for it even if the sun is shining bright outside.

For people wishing to add more character to their websites, hand-drawn elements can be a good option. They not only add an oozing personality to the website but also make it stand out from the existing competitors.  Imperfect hand-drawn elements can inject humanity into the otherwise impersonal websites.

3. Graphic with Pictures

The creativity employed in this design trend is simply remarkable. Overlapping graphics on top of real photographs could instill life into most bland of the elements. Employing this design trend on a project where the elements are complicated or abstract, you could provide a distinct identity to the brand altogether.

4. Minimalistic Design

No matter if it’s 2022 or 2030, we’re sure minimalism would always be in trend as it has carved a niche for itself. Used with bold, bright colors and heavy fonts you could enhance the aesthetics of any website. It is beneficial especially in projects where the message needs to be communicated clearly.

If you aim to provide realism to your design, nothing’s better than opting for 3D graphics. As 3D rendering required high device processing power, it laid its foot only in games and selective websites. However, as now almost every device is capable of rendering 3D visuals efficiently, it’s being used increasingly by more website designers.

6. Bright Colors

Bright colors are effective in catching attention which explains the reason for their onset especially in the eCommerce industry. They provide a distinct experience to the user making the website more memorable. Just make sure if your brand personality goes all well with bright colors or with subtle ones.

7. Illustrations

While stock photography is easy, it is gradually failing to catch & retain people’s attention in many places. This is why many website owners are opting for illustrations for their website instead of choosing stock photos. While it is a significantly costly affair, the benefits outweigh the costs by a great margin.

8. Unique fonts
