Every year, there is a trend in designing that captivates the attention of the masses. Neumorphism is the one this year! This new trend in UI design is gaining a lot of popularity. It emerged from skeuomorphism but now has become a unique UX style. Since the trend is in its early stages, not many know about it. So it is obvious that not many of the budding designers know about its integration to an interface.
Today in this blog, we would be exploring some of the basic and unknown aspects of this upward trend. If you want to utilize its potential in your future projects, then you must know what kind of impact it has over the feel of the interface. So without any further ado, let us begin the process of learning.
Introduction To Neumorphism
This trend emerged from skeuomorphic design. Various forms of this technique still exist in user interface- like the trash bin. There is no doubt in the fact that these two UI trends are interrelated, but even then we cannot neglect the changed focus. In Neumorphism, the focus on the design style is comparatively new.
Here the complete focus is not on the similarity between the real or digital worlds, or on the contrast. But the focus is on the color palette. It is all about the color of the complete screen. This trend is used to deliver a unique experience to the user base. It is basically a visual style that uses cast inner and outer shadows. Doing this helps it to deliver an illusion of extruded shapes. It is definitely delivering an exquisite approach to the design user interface.
If you want to develop a clearer perspective, then think of the Android and iOS interface. There we have a background on which multiple components can be placed, which helps us to create depth and adding layers. With the inclusion of a new trend, Neumorphism designers would be able to create a soft interface. With its help, the UI components are placed behind it. They are not placed in the background.
Doing this creates a feel that components, just like cards or buttons are inside the background. The components are only visible because they are thrusting forward from within. Here is what the trending style is all about-
.Solid colors
.Low contrast
.Right play of shadowing
There is no doubt in the fact that this style introduces freshness to the whole concept. It helps the interface to stand out.
Here are a few examples of Neumorphism. Take a good look for a better understanding!
