Neumorphism in user interfaces
How UI trends reach for inspiration into the real world and what problems do we have to solve to make those trends work.
Last week we explored some potential new trends in UI design, with one particular trend gaining a lot of attention on both Dribbble and Instagram lately. This âNew skeuomorphismâ has been called by Jason Kelley Neuomorphism in the comments. I decided to skip the âoâ and the name Neuomorphism came alive.
(Also thanks for all the great comments â I understand that Skeuomorphism was always âjust behind the cornerâ but itâs all about the designers perceived trends vs reality here)
Skeuomorphism anyone?
While various forms of Skeuomorphism still exist in UIâs (your desktop OS trash bin for example) the trend towards a particular part of this style is more apparent.
As Kamil Falana pointed out the switch from lifeless ârepresentationsâ to something mid-way to realism started happening.
We also noticed a while back, that this change started happening all around us â Apple being a good exampleâ¦
