Modern web design trends, such as oversized typography, bold 3D visuals, and immersive layouts, undoubtedly create a striking visual appeal and elevate the aesthetic of a website or product. However, I can’t help but wonder about the trade-offs in terms of clarity and accessibility. While these elements grab attention, they sometimes seem to overshadow the primary purpose of the design-communicating what the website or product is about clearly and quickly. For instance, large fonts can dominate the space, but they may not always guide users effectively or make the message immediately apparent. Similarly, while 3D assets are impressive, they can impact performance and accessibility, especially for users with slower connections or assistive technologies. How do you strike a balance between creating a visually compelling design and ensuring clarity, accessibility, and meaningful user engagement? Are there any strategies or principles you follow to avoid letting trends compromise the functional goals of the design

I agree, I‘ve been having the same thoughts while watching. I like the boldness of the designs, I also try to be more and more bold with my designs, but I‘m not convinced about the grid hero for example. I think the first look still should be very clear, conveying the main message of the site. There are some topics where I could step away from this, like an unconventional festival website for instance, but most of the times it‘s not the case. I like keeping the balance.

Jesse, I just wanted to say that your video editing and attention to details is top notch. It's impressive how much effort do you put in editing of your videos. That tripple zoom in and then zoom out synchronized with wording at 3:19 and those colorful accents 8:30 in the background are so cool. It makes watching your videos so much more captivating and engaging :)

Sometimes effects are confused with design.

I think a lot of motion designers are migrating to UI design and bringing those principles into the industry so websites are starting to have much more movement. Many motion designers jump at the idea of creating designs that people can interact with rather than passively glance at.

You have to clarify that this is design just applicable for marketing purposes. Like landing pages. So, for UX designers this video doesn't say much. Nothing applies to product design. It's just for graphic designers interested in the website support. I like this a lot, but as a UX designer, this is just limited to personal projects or if I have some side-project where the primary need is to compel a story through visual design, animation, etc. So, basically landing pages and maybe small boutique e-commerce shops that have some special product to sell that need to stand out.

Not every video is meant for you. The title says web design not "Hey UX designers etc..." just sayin

I love your job, but please... MOBILE FIRST or MOBILE ONLY 80% of the audience are on mobile... and you don't show any design for it ? Realy ? Is it 2025 or 2015, 2005 web design ?
