I created Neumorphism, Glassmorphism and Aurora

[@FluffySalmonX]

Fell in love with neumorphism, I'm using it in my app and didn't know what I want. Now we're redesigning I'm headed towards glassmorphism. I'm not a designer, but I appreciate the structure behind the design. THank you so much for what you do, you sir are a gift to the world!

[@Lumi003]

It's really exciting knowing I'm learning from the main source 😌

[@MalewiczHype]

[@DesignXstream]

Awesome man! I knew about Glassmorphism... I made a video on it a couple of months ago and mentioned your article for more in-depth details. But I did not know that you started the other 2 trends as well... really amazing... keep exploring and sharing new trends...👍🏼

[@MalewiczHype]

Thanks! Really appreciate you mentioning the article :) Keep creating cool things, all the best! 🎉

[@DesignXstream]

@@MalewiczHype Thank you! :) Waiting for the next viral trend from you! 🚀

[@neoxochitl]

I really love the brutalism trend but like you said, I think I will try to re-do my portfolio in a style that is similar. As someone looking for work, I also worry using that style might be a little too much for potential employers. The glass morphism trend you started is gorgeous and makes me think of futuristic ui. I love it.

[@MalewiczHype]

Brutalism mixed with minimalism may work for a portfolio but it’s difficult to pull off well. For employers minimalism with not-so-minimal projects seems to work best 🎉

[@rayantovi]

Highly Underrated! i hate it when creators or founders dont get credit! im gonna start telling everyone about you 😄

[@MalewiczHype]

Thank you! When making that particular video I might've been "underrated" but now I feel very strong support from people from all over the world and I'm grateful for it! Seriously :)

[@rayantovi]

@@MalewiczHype totally deserved!, wish you the best and i hope you come up with more amazing content !

[@vebesz]

Great video! One thing to keep in mind, is that using the blur filter in CSS (which is necessary for creating a glassmorphic design) can significantly decrease performance, especially on lower-end devices. I've personally experienced this firsthand when I had to redesign a glassmorphic website because even scrolling was extremely laggy on mobile. It's always important to keep performance in mind when designing for the web. I hope that this issue will be fixed in the future.

[@joynalmiah549]

U created the terms not the concepts them selves just aggregated it. And bought the domains

[@cask2010]

Love this channel and your content. I know video might not be your preferred medium, but your videos are extremely helpful and you, sir, are an absolute blessing to junior designers everywhere!

[@MalewiczHype]

Thank you! I'm getting slightly more comfortable with video, but yeah, I much prefer writing ;)

[@ketoweightloss9825]

Cool, I was doing "glassmorphism" in 2013 using CSS3, opacity, gradient, and subtle drop shadows. I didn't know what to call it then. I just knew I wanted it to look like glass. It was something I was proud of. Still holds up well today. A nice glass looking minimalist drop-down menu

[@MalewiczHype]

Very cool! Giving these trends a common name is what makes them easier to find by people and learn more about them. I remember using that effect years ago as well, without having a proper name for it.

[@ketoweightloss9825]

@@MalewiczHype yes, I'm so glad you gave these styles a name :) I feel I'm not a fan of Neumorphism but I found myself using a soft inner shadow in Figma a few months ago because I was bored with the usual drop shadows with white text and I didn't know it was a style until I saw your videos last night 🙂 Now I know what to call it.

[@DM-ot2gw]

What I like about your videos is the simplicity. Even with 0 understanding of the subject, I now know what I should pay attention to when others create the design for our website. Please keep moving with the same detailed explanations!

[@MalewiczHype]

Awesome, thank you! My goal is to get rid of all the jargon and communicate as easily as possible - glad to hear it's working :)

[@spaceboi_ux]

It hurts me so much I didnt even see your name while reading 100s of posts on neumorphism. I guess the satisfaction of starting some trend compensates for it in some way 💖

I remember using neumorphic design for an academic ppt submission. 2 years ago from a YT video. Never knew this trend came from this background.

[@MalewiczHype]

I wrote the first article about it in 2019 and gave it that name then :)

[@onlytanofficial]

Wow!! This content totally opened up my brain and my thinking process. I loved it when you said that as a designer, we should be curious, exploratory and having fun creating great works. Otherwise we will get bored of our creations and stuck in our own way.

Wow. This was very informative. I reeaaally can't wait for your course. I'm great at functionality and UX but I'm trying to get better at UI. I really look forward to the portfolio reviews Thank you so much

[@MalewiczHype]

Glad you liked it! The feedback round in the course will be of course about the course project itself (and it will be VERY detailed) - at the current stage (about 70% materials done) I am sure this will be helpful a lot to do great UI :)

[@KDogg119]

Great stuff! Happy I found your channel. Awesome to see the behind the scenes stuff. I remember noticing this stuff on dribble. One of apples wwdc announcement backgrounds had a little neumophism in it that got me exited like when iOS 7s big redesign happened but they didn’t lean into it as much as I hoped. Very cool tho!

[@MalewiczHype]

Welcome aboard! UI design is now at a stage where it needs some innovation, so it's nice to see big brands trying it with different levels of success (like recent Apple changes or Android 12). Exciting times :)

[@ayushkumarchandra]

What an amazing video, really learnt a lot, thank you so much.

[@MalewiczHype]

Thanks! It's all about the thought process and a need to organize chaos :)

[@ishaagarwal7351]

You started the trend, that is amazing!

[@MalewiczHype]

Thank you! It's mostly about noticing patterns that are happening and then giving it a name and writing an extensive breakdown of how it works - it's the collective creativity of all the great designers that really creates the trends. I just name them sometimes :)

[@Jay_in_Japan]

I may be wrong, but it seems less like you "created" these trends, so much as you named them

[@MalewiczHype]

Yes, I named them and broke them down into a coherent information set in the very first articles. That's what I mean by "created" - not about creating the first design in that style - just making it simpler for people to understand them and giving them a name that's easy to search for and explore.

[@twangerrrrrr]

wow its crazy to think that you "established" such big design trends

[@MalewiczHype]

Someone had to do it 🤷

[@sameermalik8580]

I am biggest fan of Neumorphism or glassmorphism ❤

[@SCTproductionsJ5]

DS Lite used Neumorphism in its case design (the bezel around the touch screen) before it was cool. ;p hehe

[@tshch92]

Not only the Nintendo DS Lite - there are Divisumma 18 (1970-s), some of the Dieter Rams gadgets, plus Zont and OP-1 portable music synthetisers. And there are much more, I'm sure, because what neumorphism is - it's the game of light on a matte monochrome surface. True innovation of 2019 is that nobody (almost) ever imported it into _digital_ interfaces before.

[@regent2970]

I'm a INTP and prefer writing a milion times more than talking/being on camera. Definitely not ready yet to go in front of the lens. 😂 I admire Your courage, haha! What personality are You Michał, if You don't mind me asking?

[@MalewiczHype]

I have no idea, likely an introvert that’s not afraid of the stage 😂 but the camera does still scare me somehow 😓

[@geekyvk8252]

Amazing!

[@MalewiczHype]

Thanks!

[@lisafreddes4673]

So it's ok to explore popular designs as long as you don't claim them as your own? If you do publish a paper are you suppose to know what the ideas are and then credit you for the information?

[@MalewiczHype]

There's no UX police to enforce any of this, it's just some general decency to mention when using work from someone else (be it a name, or photos, or designs or anything). I always do it in my writings when I need to reference something someone else has done. But definitely explore ALL the design styles, because merging different parts of them together is how you get truly creative :)

That was years ago, I stopped caring about people stealing my content as I'm on my way out of this and into another industry now :) peace!

[@LifeofBrad1]

Why not just bring true skeuomorphism back? There was nothing wrong with it. It had a cozy feel to it. Flat design feels cold and unwelcoming. I wish companies would stop trying to fix things that weren't broken to begin with.

[@MalewiczHype]

The reason for going flat is that it was already seven years and people wanted something new. Now seven extra years have passed and parts of skeuomorphism are coming back because flat got boring.

[@scoot_black740]

I dont really like glassmorphism

[@adamvoid555]

In one of your courses summaries you say "I created the popular design trends like: neumorphism, glassmorphism and Aurora", to be fair, you didn't create them, you just made up the names for them by analysing other people designs. Don't you think you put too much credit over there to yourself?

[@MalewiczHype]

If you read my articles on those trends you’d know I give credit where it’s due. Relax 🙂

[@adamvoid555]

@@MalewiczHype well, yeah, sure, that's a good thing, I get you, you're just trying to sell/market your product, but to say that anywhere is a bit an overstatement. Though I truly like your content. Already learnt a lot. So thanks for that.

[@mmmmmmmmmmm10]

I had the same thought as Domantis, from the title I was expecting you to talk about how you designed/created them. But you identified and documented them. Not quite created, but "created" sounds a lot better in a KZbin title. Domantas is correct in his comment, so credit to him. On the flipside, its a good thing you didnt design/create glassmorphism, it's terrible.
