UI Design Trend 2024: Plasticity

[@zijinxiao1680]

I'm honored to have my work featured in your video. I am and will continue to experiment with more possibilities of the modern skeuomorphism style.😄 Good luck to everyone who enjoyed this video.

[@MalewiczHype]

Thank you for experimenting! Love seeing people play with materials in design :)

Flat design is a past time activity ... ;)

Looks like the young 2000's again

[@colinkiama]

1:52 was my favourite! Those white minimalistic knobs and dials are are so fresh!

[@MalewiczHype]

I love a lot of these, really cool stuff :)

[@itsthesa]

These designs are so good. So many things we can try!

[@MalewiczHype]

Glad you like them! I'll try and share one inspiration video per month with what cool stuff I find :)

[@itsthesa]

@@MalewiczHype I will wait for that and practice these now!

Finally a trend I want to jump into

[@MalewiczHype]

I'm already thinking about at least one real app I'll build in this style :)

The work from Mark is 🔥

[@MalewiczHype]

All of them are great :)

[@liviubarburo]

I doubt skeuomorphic UI style will ever become a trend. While, yes, it's very cool for a designer eye, it's hard to produce and overcomplicates things. It fits a very narrow range of projects in my opinion.

[@Meleeman011]

i feel like i've seen this trend before, back in the windows 98 xp days, i think i'll go for a retrofuturism thing, and give it a more cassette futurism look

[@zjhart]

Do you have any go-to websites or search terms for more examples of this style? Such a refreshing style and happy to see it getting more popular!

[@MalewiczHype]

I generally try to have my eyes open when browsing twitter. But we will be creating articles from all these trends on the platform too (squareplanet) :)

[@tayirnull1567]

Man!! That Rams website is full of great and real-like designs, I, in fact, even decided to follow Lee Black, after seeing how his works caught my eyes immediately. I look at my actual water bottle, and thinking to myself- I should recreate it from scratch and make it realistic ❤😊

[@MalewiczHype]

For the DRAMS site - fully agree, a thing of beauty. As for recreating real-life objects - check out our graphic design challenge on squareplanet - it's exactly about that :)

[@SkArifHossain]

Karime & Lee Black duo's works are awesome 😍🥰, but others are not falling behind them too :)

[@MalewiczHype]

Yeah those guys do awesome stuff!

[@Medorlee]

Thank you, very inspiring

[@WildBee23]

Thank you ever so much for your wonderful and sooooo juicy sharing 🙏. The way you share information is beautiful.

[@JoannaTurczynska-Arashi]

Much appreciated for sharing my orange alarm clock! 🥳 Now everyone's eyes will hurt. 🤪 But seriously, it was fun to create as part of your daily graphic design challenge! Thanks for this!

[@MalewiczHype]

It's a beautiful example :)

[@kibriakhalil3019]

This is some really cool stuff and I hope we keep pushing the envelope in UI design and step away from flat UI design. My issue is that i work as a UI/UX designer at a small company and I would receive pushback on these UI's as it would take too much time to make without a justifiable ROI. I guess this raises the question. Will these interface elements and experiences only be reserved for companies where they have the luxury to push for them; creating a gap between these companies and companies where everything needs to be delivered as soon as possible? Maybe a UI designer will be an even more specialised role for companies looking to innovate their UI experiences as such? Just some thoughts. Great content as always!

[@MalewiczHype]

They may be reserved for companies that have the luxury to implement them but if people turn out to love them (users) those companies will reap the benefits and that will push other companies to try too.

[@rumble1925]

As a dev, I love nothing more than tinkering with this stuff. When I started out I could spend hours recreating every last detail of cool dribbble shots and make it come alive with code. The problem is that we have to ship features at our day jobs and spending an afternoon getting things just right for one off design elements is a luxury. As you can imagine, it's also extremely hard to systematize these types of designs, and the reality is that very few designers are skilled enough to make an entire system this visually complex that makes sense and looks good on every screen. The other alternative is to have every screen made bespoke, ie the design isn't systematized as code. But that's hard to justify for the business who needs fast turnaround.

[@AdamsTaiwan]

Would love to have a CSS style sheet that looks like Microsoft's App Demos. Their apps don't actually use those 3D styles, but I wouldn't mind using them.

[@RonYosef]

Who remembers Winamp skins?

[@MalewiczHype]

I've been making them in the 00's a lot :)

[@jper8029]

As a music producer I can say some of these plugin companies really got their shit down, especially when it comes to analog emulations. I find myself leaning towards the most tactile one's on a subconcious level, they make me feel like im using the real thing and I think there is a ton of inspiration to be taken from vst's since they skipped minimalism and always tried to be as tactile as possible

[@MalewiczHype]

Yes, some VST's are true works of art.

[@mojito1216]

This is crazy ❤🙌🔥🔥

[@masterloot]

It's basically a 3D design via 2D tools. 3D will always be more impressive and visually striking so this isn't some "new magic" they just invented.

[@Keithen]

It’s not new magic, and they didn’t just invent it. Newer designers are discovering the way designers did things 20-60 years ago. Most 3D design has always been 2D. 3D has been taking off within the last 10-20 years, by the expert designers. Real 3D will almost always be better. But 2D mimicking is still pretty skillful.

Hey, i have a hard time understanding the inner shadows on skeumorphism, neumorph and claymor... Should the darker inner shadow have negative 'x' and 'y' axix or positive? If my button has dark positive i.e top left inner shadow and light bottom right shadow, does this make it look like a 'pressed' state?

[@kavineesh12]

Can you please make a video on the same lines, how to create these shadows in Figma

[@MalewiczHype]

I recently made a tutorial on how to make a 3d looking switch, it's on the channel.

[@rashika19music]

Being a music producer, I have always wanted to design UI for the VSTs and audio plugins, but did not find any useful resources related to it for example portfolio projects, industry standard tools and software, can you please guide how can I go ahead?

[@MalewiczHype]

You can try checking out the profiles of those designers I mentioned here for inspiration and then just play with skeuomorphic objects :)

[@worksmart8166]

Will you update website UI course?

[@MalewiczHype]

This is just a style on top, it can be applied to designs pretty easily with practice - the course is more about crafting the layout and the section regardless of style.

[@SzabatDesign]

Michał, are these visual elements a good solution to introduce into e-commerce stores? I'm converting to e-commerce and would like to surprise but not lose out on conversions. What do you think? ✏️

[@MalewiczHype]

In e-commerce probably not, but you can try to have some kind of fancy add to cart button animation / interaction (and an otherwise clean and clear vibe for everything else)

[@SzabatDesign]

@@MalewiczHype Thank you for your reply. I will definitely experiment. I am waiting for some interesting tutorials :)

[@LegionLeague]

Are there any links to these? I'd like to click around and feel those myself.

[@MalewiczHype]

Check out the thread on my twitter account :) And the Drams website has a link written in my safari window

[@tuams]

It's great that you are surfacing these wonderfully crafted UI's! One comment is that you keep mentioning flat design as boring and a drag & drop job. I feel this minimizes the effort a product designer has to go through to understand the business and technical aspects of a product to produce the few input fields and buttons. I understand where you are coming from but you make it seem that just having a design system makes the whole UX designers job so easy. Anyway, good video!

[@MalewiczHype]

Thanks!

[@SzabatDesign]

Plastic bombastic 😃😏

[@MalewiczHype]

In a way, yes ;)

[@epicvillain8308]

no one can convince my brain to want this pile of forced styling headaches over the joy i feel every time i tap flat af button in Vercel app or linear or shadcdn. The motion is seductive and everlasting, never growing tired of you, nor tiring of it.

[@MalewiczHype]

Ah ok let's revert to flat because epicvillain8308 feels joy tapping on flat buttons. All those that feel joy tapping on something different should be put into readjustment camps :-)

[@jray1429]

Flat has its place, but I never got into making Everything flat. While folks were crushing their buttons into pancakes, I chose to let them live a full life with out fear of being crushed to death. Don’t get me wrong, I may have still managed to help them with their weight loss so that they weren’t as bloated.😅 Moderation is, in my opinion, key to a great design…They enjoy using it, but also feel productive- It’s not such a chore to use the app.

[@m4r_art]

A name like Physicality UI would seem more appropriate

[@m4r_art]

Also Analog UI sounds pretty contextually accurate

Come on, "reinventing"... it's the same old skeuomorphism but with a new name. Fashions come and go. The real difference is in the resolution, sharpness, fluency and effectism that can be achieved with today's devices. New generations will find it novel.
