i take this over flat design

We are moving forward with this design style. We did a focus group of 100 of our users and this look and feel won at 88% not even close.

I tried it yesterday and I'd like to say for computer science project presentation it is the best ... Lecturers are not used to such design concept hence they gave me an A 😂😂😂 for a web page development

I miss skeuomorphism. The notepad app felt like a real notepad, not just a text entry app. KZfaq was associated with television, not just a video hosting application.The music apps made it feel like you had all these covers of music in your closet, and not just a website with a bunch of junk music.The phone felt like a combination of all those things that used to occupy space, and not just a terminal for accessing someone's servers.

My main issue with flat design is that the flatter it is, the more soulless it is. Skeuomorphism felt like real life and while it did not have the visual flair that Flat Design has in most cases, it felt alot less, should I say, corporate. With Neumorphism, I think it strikes that perfect balance. It feels like an independant art style, something trendy and underground. It won't ever replace Flat Design entirely in terms of usage, however I think that is for the best. The design was made by people who weren't at the top of the food chain, and it'll stay that way. I do hope that this design philosophy does stay around though. While most uses are from indie and smaller developers, Apple and Microsoft's take on the design are both beautiful, with MacOS 11 Big Sur and Monterey and Windows 11 all looking beautiful in my honest opinion, with Windows 11 honestly being my favourite Windows design of all time for the icons imo, taking the place Aero used to occupy for me. While my favourite design will always remain MacOS Mountain Lion and Mavericks, MacOS 11 / 12 will remain a very close second, only losing out to a semi-noticable infrequency.

Yes please follow this trend! It looks so much better than flat design. Also bring back the translucency glass and the 3d look. Just get rid of flat design already.

i would like this tread to continue... I love this types of design so pleasent to see at.

Light Neumorphism came first, and seems to be what most people associate with Neumorphism still. Obviously Light Neumorphism doesn't work, the accessibility is terrible, it's as train just to look at. Dark Neumorphism on the other hand, deserves its own review. It can be contrasted well with vibrant colors, which stops it from being a "soft-ui" thereby repairing the accessibility problem.

I love neumorphism, I will always use it now

Honestly, I feel like the buttons argument is quite dumb. Avoid low contrast text at all costs, mark the button states CLEARLY, by adding a colored border, or by changing background and icon color in a very visible way (accents color realy help here). You can also just use a switch, oftentimes. These elements aren't prohibited on neumorphism, it is more about having a depth effect similar to real dashboards. This by itself, when not abused, can't in any way confuse the user. If the problem is that ANY different UI will confuse the user, we're really making both design job and the users very very lazy. This is finally some new cool design idea, it's in my opinion sad to lose it. The only scenario where it can work a bit bad, is on UIs that require many controls. This is a design that requires a bit more space.

The trick it’s not use it alone, mix neumorphism with material and it’s pretty cool

I think this design is just cool, something really new after all the same boring desing all over the internet. So yeah deffinitely cool staff, anyway I love it

You're right - does not work on large scale projects and has critical accessibility issues. After testing it extensively, as you said, things like cards and sliders (and graphics) are where it works best. It's a nice touch / flare to add to design and I'm excited to see the creative ways designers end up using it. But a full app with only neumorphism - nah.

I like the idea. I'm going to use neumorphism in my KLWP project for a minimal UI.

I think it is here to stay because it reflects 3D reality - that is how I see it.

Web3 solves all issues, skeumorphism and Neumorpism for the win! Flat designers are like web1 ms-dos websites. 🤣

I love skeumorphism... I don't get why it isn't more used. You got this beautiful thing here, and you got this boring thing here. Yeaaah. Think I'll go with the boring thing, cause "ain't no use for the skeu-thing anymore." Well. There is no use in having a beautiful car either, if it moves. Goddaamn hipsters.

Glassmorphism is my favourite

this style gives me healthcare/medic vibe, dont know why would this be a thing. Its just inner and outer shadows

NEUMORPHISM is amazing. and i hope it will KILL flat ui!

I'm actually kinda happy skeuomorphism is coming back

Oh that was a good critique of neumorphism.. When I saw it for the first time I thought "Yea! Finally something interesting will change minimalism trend, which everyone is already tired of. Even if Apple was used something similar in new MacOS design, then it should be new trend, as it was with minimalism design". But okay, now I'm a little upset

Uhm. What you are saying is only half true because you are only really adressing the absolute minimal basics of neumorphism. Let's talk about the button thing, of course the change is minimal if that change of shadow is all that is there to indicate an activation, but did you ever think to consider that neumorphism does not excluse the use of colors? Typically buttons have icons or text on them, which can light up when the button is activated, there's a common theme for things that are ON to be blue or green, and things that are OFF to be red or grey. There's absolutely no confusion here, instead the shadow around the element just makes it clearer what can and cannot be clicked compared to flat design where it is often totally unclear and you have to be farmilliar enough with this type of technology to know it intuitively, and even then it sometimes doesn't work instantly.

I just fall in love with this design.. not only users, designers and coders also has their word.. as the famous said once.. users dont know what they want until u tell them or show them or something like that 🙃

UI designers need to calm down because for developper it's a pain in the ass to fit a model like this 😂

I was surprised to find out that I was alone in thinking that neumorphism doesn't make sense. It doesn't serve any kind of use case or solve any existing problems. And it might look fancy on Dribbble or Behance as concept art but not so much when translated into real app. Skeuromorphism made sense cuz it serves intuition, flat design make sense because it amplifies content, but this doesn't fit in to any kind of problem (IMHO).

I’d prefer just return to regular skeuomorphism but this is still way better than flat design

Flat design for a multicolor supported monitor is degradation.

Is here to stay and thanks God for leaving flat behind. Also, I can’t stand purple and violets anymore.

Accessibility is a critical concern with Soft UI

Apple: Bet

SKEUMORPHISM IS BACK BABY!

Better than flat n ugly

As a user who doesn't know much about UI/UX, this looks VERY cool to me

Like with all design, it isn’t copy and paste exercise, all of what I’ve seen so far has been concepts, so yeah they are just there to look pretty. Of course it has to be refined, of course it needs to be thought through for each use case, but at its fundamental level it offers MUCH more feedback than flat UI, I can’t tell you how much I hate KZfaq, Google, Facebook. all of its saturated as f*** pop colours, and clickable buttons that don’t look like they can be clicked, or sub menus hiding behind cryptic symbols... I really want elements of this to be tried and developed in practical apps!

better than flat

I like it

Im being forced to use this by the parent company, who dont do any design themnselves. its very irritating and dificult to work with. Im having to create overly complex solutins to make screens look just 'ok' rather than excellent. this is what happens when people who dont know anything jump on a band wagon. personally i think its a very old looking style, circa 2010 not 2021!

Love the analytic approach.

I'm very late to this but what do you think about using it for purely visual mediums, like motion graphics and social media graphic design?

Neumorphism is just better

Neuomorphism does not feel like a continuation of 2000s UI design. It completely throws accessibility out the window. I would hate to use this daily for actual work, no matter how ‘pretty’ it looks. This is way more soulless than flat design, which is usually very colourful especially in the early 2010s. Not having gradients doesnt mean something is “soulless” - a lot of flat design is very expressive and bold. I wouldnt take “looking pretty” over accessibiltiy anyday, even if we went back to UI design similar to that of the 2000s (even that is better than neuomorphism). Ive used Linux for a long time now, and ive tried out more skeuomorphic and detailed UI with things like the Crystal Remix icons and themes on KDE. It looks pretty, like eye candy at first. But when you want to actually get something done, its horrible compared to the more minimal approach most operating systems have nowadays. Neuomorphism does not strike a good balance, because it literally erases the border between the buttons and the background, this doesnt make it seem cohesive or like it has depth, it just makes it look like its all the same and its hard to tell apart. Neuomorphism is soulless and looks sanitized as hell, as if its trying to be as inoffensive as possible.

People also thought the internet was a dying fad in 1997.

What a creative idea

Loved the video! Do you, by chance, have the source files of the thumbnail? That is one of the coolest designs I've seen, so I was just wondering. Thanks

Indeed☺️

This doesn't work for icons

Isn’t google material design the same concept especially with shadows?

How can it be considered a trend if none is using it in real life?

It kinda reminds me of old Windows XP! I really like this

definitely follow! Monster is amazingly stupid XD

Oh they followed that trend

FLAT DESIGN SUCKS, NEUMORPHISM AND SKEUMORPHISM IS OVER 9000 TIMES BETTER THAN FLAT DESIGN.

it guded lot

Well, after Big Sur launch this isn't going anywhere

Correct, do old style Skeuomorphism instead

It pretty ugly and looks half baked. Apple's take is way better. The whole emboss and bevel effects needs to go and they should stil to low detail 3d-esk design instead. Buttons with text should remain flat but should have a 1px border with a contrasting accent colour. It gets filled in when the button is pressed.

I prefer flat design

the trend got famous cause it looks like apple product

That shit's around for years. If you are that far off if it is about research, why shoudl anyone listen to anything else coming from you?
