In an updated design trends article for 2019, Webflow delivers a detailed article on the latest web design trends that follows everything from typography and illustration to color, grids and even updated cursor design.
An interesting note, however, is how the author summarizes what it means to be “trendy” in today's day and age – especially as a creative designer and marketer:“What matters is understanding the hows and whys of trends’ emergence and adoption. Because at the end of the day, trends have a lot to tell us about our cultural moment: what we love, what we hate, what we want to move toward. The closer we get to understanding those things, the closer we get to getting inside others’ heads — to empathizing with them. And, really, to understanding ourselves.”
So without further ado, here’s the top 5 trends from Webflow that are sure to dominate 2019 and beyond:
- Three-dimensional illustration
- The Helveticization of brand identity
- Outlined type
- The continued rise of brutalism
- More diverse, iconoclastic illustration styles
