The world’s top brands have set the trend for UI in 2023, and browsing through the websites of companies like Toyota, Microsoft, Apple, McDonald’s, Louis Vuitton, and Tesla can help you observe their general trend of offering an immersive experience with clean designs that display only important information and categories. These websites also feature large font sizes, not just in H1 but also H2, H3, and text. Even companies with multiple product segments, categories, and geographical locations have simplified their websites. This trend of immersive experience, large fonts, and large images is expected to persist beyond 2023.
In 2023, many websites will do away with parallax scrolling as it is now an outdated feature, and Apple has already stopped using it with the launch of the iPhone 14 series with the Dynamic Island feature. Generative AI technology has already been powering some design processes, such as Photoshop’s content-aware fill, face-aware liquify, Illustrator’s puppet warp, and global edit tool, and more AI-powered websites will be released in 2023 to help designers with their everyday work.
Card components are a flexible container of information that can be used to display practically any information set such as previews of products, blog posts, videos, images, instruction steps, and tasks. Cards effectively organize the information of the interface and can greatly increase the user experience. Many companies have adopted this component, and designers can search for ideas, tips, and guidelines for their card designs from popular design systems of other brands such as GE’s Edison, Twilio’s Paste, Shopify’s Polaris, and BBC’s Global Experience Language.
Light mode with an option for dark mode is also a trend in 2023. For products used only in low-light environments or for users with impaired visions, dark mode can provide a better viewing experience, while light mode with a toggle button for dark mode can provide personalization for both users who prefer light mode and those who prefer dark mode.
Advancements in technology will allow us to create a consistent but personalized and non-uniform design for users. In 2023, we will witness the maturity of the two trends: how we build and what we build. The availability of design-to-code platforms such as Figma, Webflow, Wix Editor X, or Anima will reframe the deliverables of UX designers, allowing them to participate directly in the production by defining all design tokens and elements such as device breakpoint, spacing, and styling. Designers’ deliverables are expected to be more demanding than before, and we should build personalized designs for each user, catering to their preferences and also some niche users who require accessible design.
Finally, in 2023, there will be a mass migration from Adobe XD to Figma as many Adobe Creative Cloud users prefer using Adobe XD over other prototyping tools. However, Figma is increasingly becoming popular due to its ease of use and collaboration features.
