Top UI/UX Trends for 2022
5
Storytelling

• It is no secret that humans react well to
  storytelling. Stories have been with us since our
  existence in the form of words and images, and
  time traveled with us seamlessly. It is a
  beautiful social activity which helps people to
  connect and relate to each other.
• Hence, it is important to note that these stories
  and experiences are at its core emotive and
  immersive. So, looking towards 2022, this tool
  will surely be a notable UX trend.

6
Simplification and Minimalism

• These are two UI trends that will be surely seen
  throughout 2022. In fact, you can take a look at
  the popular tech companies like Meta, Revolut and
  Oculus amongst various others to see this UI
  trend thriving.
• Such companies have a strong preference for
  informative, simple and minimal interfaces. Users
  are seen interacting with such brands in a better
  way as everything is very clear and concise.
  Thus, this UI design trend will be opted by more
  and more companies in 2022 as well.

7
Experimenting Navigation Placement

• The placement of navigation and how the users
  will interact with it are two important elements
  of the UX design process. Also, this process is
  becoming important with every passing day because
  of mobile usage.
• Most companies are expecting UX Designers to come
  up with innovative solutions for users to reach
  that navigation menu, which is usually on the
  top. However, in 2022 this can change as UX
  designers are thinking about placing the
  navigation menu at the bottom or offering a
  hybrid menu at the top.

8
Brutalism with the return of the flat

• This trend gained popularity in 2021 but it will
  be on the rise in 2022 as well. It is a counter
  trend for all the designs that are full of
  shadows, gradients and smiling 3D characters.
  Usually, brutalism embraces flat design,
  contrasting colours, strong outlines, bold
  typography and photography
• Although, the new version of brutalism forgoes
  one of its main defining elements which is the
  seemingly absent grid. However, currently the UI
  designers are using all of its other elements,
  and it confirms a more standard layout.

9
Voice User Interface

• Creating top-notch user experience with the help
  of voice is not a new UX trend. However, what is
  new is how it is taking shape today. Previously,
  UX design for voice interfaces was dependent on
  screens which meant that our first and main point
  of contact was the screen. This was the major
  reason behind which voice user interfaces fell
  short, as they were glitchy and incurred delays
  of when a person should speak.

10
Aurora Backgrounds

• This trend became very popular in 2021 and so, it
  got a special name called- Aurora Backgrounds. It
  consists of subtle, colorful and blurred splashes
  of color which makes it look very friendly and
  organic. They are also visually appealing and
  attractive.
• These backgrounds will surely gain popularity in
  2022 as they are very pleasing to the eye. Most
  UI designers are using such splashes as an entire
  background or just as an emphasis under some very
  important UI elements.

11
Personalized Experience

• Personalizing user experience is a trend that has
  been gaining popularity over the years and it is
  definitely here to stay. There is an array of
  content that the users can access on the web, and
  more apps and websites are personalizing the
  experience for an individual user. They either
  provide personalized suggestions or offer
  accessibility guidelines.
• The major goal that companies have for their UX
  designer is to create a design and product that
  closes the gap between what any user wants and
  expects and what they experience.

12
Conclusion

• It is an exciting time for UI UX design as AI has
  started working with data quickly and
  efficiently. User experiences are genuinely
  evolving in meaningful ways that benefit the user
  as well as the business. Whether its bringing
  excitement to the page with the help of
  scrollytelling, soothing aurora backgrounds or
  adding voice user interface with personalized
  experiences- these trends work with and well for
  the users.
