Post pobrano z: 5 Watch design trends we’re seeing in 2019

If you’re a watch brand in 2019, you’d best be doing something different, otherwise you’re just going to get lost in the sea of companies out there all vying for our attention. At Designer Daily, not much slips past our nets when it comes to noticing the design trends currently happening in the world of watches! That’s why we’re going to list a few of the noticeable crazes we’ve been seeing lately. Strap in and watch out for these.

Big watch faces

Go big or go home, it seems. Diminutive square faces and circular watch faces the size of a quarter coin are no good here, as wrist-swallowing designs are the order of the day in 2019. We can see why such designs are prevalent, after all, why buy a watch if it doesn’t get noticed? Jaeger-LeCoultre is doing some pretty cool world-changing things with its Geophysic Universal Time steel watch, in particular, as it’s literally a large map of the world. This is done quite tastefully and is elegant enough to stand side-by-side with Jaeger-LeCoultre’s other models, but its $14,300 might be a little off-putting for some. Despite that, it could be worth checking on Chrono24 to see if there’s a cheaper one online.

Notable collabs

Hublot has collaborated with Ferrari, Nixon with Metallica, and even Swatch with a famous painting pig called Pigasso. These days, joining forces with big names for a cooperated design is a wise marketing move, as you get two camps interested in your watch that may not have been otherwise. Which metalhead fan could honestly say they would have bought a Nixon watch if some designs didn’t feature album art from ‘Ride the Lightning’ or ‘Master of Puppets?’ Sponsoring celebrities to be brand ambassadors for your watch brand will always be a thing, but working together on new projects is a trend that will only get bigger.

Weird and wonderful

It’s not completely uncommon for unusual watch designs to pop up here and there, but 2019 will see them more than ever. Swatch has always been known to push the boundaries for what’s considered a “normal” design, but respected watchmaker Richard Mille has even gone a bit wacky with a series of sweets-inspired watches. Of course, let’s not forget H. Moser & Cie., which recently made a watch from living plants and even a model that simply chimes you the time instead of having hands.

Simplistic

Why so fancy? Swiss watch brands are known to release highly complex watches, with what you could call a “busy” watch face and too many dials than you even know what to do with. In going the opposite direction, companies like MVMT, Daniel Wellington, and Skagen are keeping things simple and producing designs which are literally a blank watch face with hour indicators, as well as an hour and minute hand – literally all you need to know the time during the day. These designs are a lot cheaper, too, which generally keeps customers interested.

Fitness features

Finally, if your watch isn’t checking your heart rate or counting your steps, is it even a watch? Smartwatches like the Apple Watch and Samsung Gear have become increasingly popular, as consumers love to have the apps that keep track of everything from the amount of calories burned to how much water was drunk that day. TAG Heuer even released its Connected Modular 45 smartwatch, a true sign that even longstanding Swiss companies are feeling the pressure of staying relevant in the modern age.

Post pobrano z: Miniature Birds Created with Paper and Watercolors

Vaishali Chudasama and Nayan are two designers based in Ahmedabad, India. Vaishali works as an illustrator, while Nayan is an interior designer. Together, they run an Etsy shop that sells some impressive paper cutted birds.

Each papercut takes from four to eight hours to create, which is quite fast when you take the level of details into consideration. As you can see on the photos, the birds are very small, the smallest being as tiny as 1.8cm!

Post pobrano z: Graphic Design Trends to Put to Rest in 2019

There are two types of trends in web design.
The first type is trends that stem from research. UX trends do not disappear,
they evolve. Ultimately, there are some things that work best, and they are
there to stay.

Then there are UI trends. Most of the times,
they’re a great way to show your website is changing. Some trends, however, tend
to be so prevalent they become trite.

It’s these trends that you’d be better off not
using in 2019.

1. Bright Colors

How do you attract attention to something on
your website? You make it bright red! This was the motto of some web designers
for quite some time.

Even though the trend to use bright colors is
not as egregious as this simple strategy, it’s not without its faults either.
It’s been overused, and frankly, bright colors do not work for most websites.

Take a look at this website. It does a great
job with imagery on the top of the page – great photography and smooth pastel
tones. Then it descends into this nightmare of a background.

If you have to use color, make it smoother.
Take a look at this screenshot. The biggest part of a page is taken up by a
picture, but it isn’t bright and doesn’t make your eyes bleed.

You can also go for complete minimalism, and
forget about colors whatsoever as this website does.

2. Mixed Typography

If you’ve read something on typography trends,
you know that people love to mix fonts. Sometimes it looks good, sometimes it’s
over the top.

When you take on too many fonts, the odds of
you making something that looks good are rather low. Add to it too many
different and mismatching fonts and you’re headed for a disaster.

Sometimes, creative use of fonts works. Take a
look at this website, for instance.

In most cases, it just doesn’t cut it. If you
stick to a more traditional approach, you have higher chances of success. At
least, you don’t have as many opportunities to fail. Make your typography look
something along these lines, and you’re on the safe side.

3. Badge Logos

If you’ve tried to design your own logo, you
know what badge logos are. They’re supposed to look hip and vintage. They’re
the Gucci of logo design – everyone wants one but few can afford them.

The thing is, most stock websites offer some
kind of badge logo. Most of these logos look pretty cool, and they may be a
great fit for a website that sells beard lotions with wood flavor.

But what is a logo for, anyway? It should make
your company stand out from the crowd. A badge logo will only make you look
like every other company that visited this page to get a cheap logo.

Approach creating your logo like getting your APA style paper written for you. If the thing
you’re paying for predicts your success, make sure to find a professional and
pay them well.

4. The Burst

The burst is another ugly trend that comes
from the stock websites and must go. It’s a classic way to attract attention to
something important, and it shows you’re a lazy designer.

The problem with this design trend is that
it’s overused. It’s overused to the point where it’s become trite. The bursting
badge that says “New” or “Sale” is boring now.

Try to present your sale in a new and fun way.
Make the news about a sale an experience of its own. This is what your popup
that informs people about discounts can look like.

It catches attention due to being well-designed
and well-written, and not due to being bright and having the word “Sale” in all
caps.

If you need to use badges for products, make
them minimalistic. These badges attract attention by means of contrast, even
though they don’t look like a small explosion that the burst is .

5. Asymmetrical Design

What? Do you want my website to look boring?

No. The thing is, there’s a fear that if you
conform to the standards of UX design this will make your website look dull.

That’s not what makes it this way. It’s a
combination of things, really. If your website does follow the standards of
layout that many conform to and then doesn’t communicate to the users, you end
up looking like this.

It sure looks ugly, but breaking the tree
columns rule won’t make your website interesting. It’s inconsistent and
confusing for the customers. It will only work if you have a couple of products
on display as well since scrolling through four screens of these is hard.

You can add a bit of asymmetry to spice things
up though. Here’s one way to do that.

The simplest way of making things a bit
asymmetric but maintaining the overall graphics hierarchy is placing an object
or a picture a bit off center.

In the end, you’ll most likely have to stick
with the three columns. But they can look pretty fresh as well if you know how
to make them work.

6. Flat Design

Minimalism is trendy. It’s great, too. Flat
design is not the minimalism you need, however.

It’s been around for a while. It had its peak
of popularity, and now it’s time for it to go. The problem with flat is that
it’s overused (just like the burst and badge logos). Every stock photo website
offers it. This picture must have been posted on too many websites.

Your illustrations don’t have to be this
boring. Take a look at how MailChimp treats illustrations in their blog
articles. It’s just a random picture, but it’s fun and attention-grabbing.

You can even get this kind of abstract
illustrations for little to no money on the web. Here’s how you can present a
sent message to your users.

7. Following Trends

The ultimate lesson you should draw from this
list is that following UI trends is not a great idea in general. You can use
most of them and make your website look great but only if you adopt a trend,
not follow it.

Take a trend and give it your own spin. This
will make you both up to date and unique.

Post pobrano z: Web Design Sins to Avoid – Turning Bad Websites into Successful Websites

Have you ever visited a website that pushed you away? No, it’s not about content, you didn’t even read it. The design of the site was so unattractive and disturbing that you closed it and looked for a better place to order or buy something. We all bump into deadly navigation websites sometimes, they are visually disturbing and make us leave them as soon as possible, even though there can be very useful information to read and learn. The design is a huge part of a website and if it’s done nicely, users want to spend hours on such a site. The main purpose of a design is to turn visitors into customers, therefore, we decided to dedicate this article to the most common mistakes that web designers make.

If
you want to become a web designer and help people to sell stuff via their
websites, you need to know what attracts visitors and what pushes them away.
When you have to prepare a piece of dissertation proposal writing on web design topic,
you have to explain how to meet the client’s expectations and how to solve your
client’s problem with the help of the latest tools. In your dissertation, you
can describe the problems such as impractical gallery, the absence of CMS, low
bounce rate of a landing page and list the solutions that you can offer your
client. What you don’t want to do is to provide the wrong solutions and get a
low grade from your professor. To avoid this and help you with writing a decent
proposal, keep reading our article.

10 Deadly Sins That You Can Commit as a Web Designer

1. Complicated Navigation

The first rule is to keep navigation simple. Remember that the users can be the people who use the Internet sometimes and don’t visit dozens of websites every day as you do. Such an audience can get easily confused and frustrated. It’s recommended to create a menu with short descriptive tags. There also should be a clearly visible search box, so the users can type the name of the product and quickly find what they came for.

2. Fonts are Too Small

Do
you enjoy reading small fonts online? No, this is
very disturbing and makes you ask “Who was this written for?” Forget about an
old-school website with font 12 that is really hard to read. It’s not so bad
when someone is using a tablet but what if someone is using a computer with 24
inches screen, are they supposed to zoom? Important information should be
written clearly. The statistic shows that you have only 8 seconds to make an
impression, therefore, use headline fonts to grab users’ attention.

3. A Lack of Call to Action

There are plenty of websites that provide interesting information but make someone doubt what to do next. Call to action wording such as “Sign up today”, “Contact us” or “Add to cart” will make users’ experience so much easier and much more effective for the business. A custom writing service Paperial and the professional authors with good knowledge in web design topic will help you to write more ideas in your dissertation on useful tools and mistakes in designing websites.

4. Moving Sliders

Moving
banners often distract users from searching for the necessary items on the
website. In some cases, such moving sliders are absolutely useless. The recent
statistic showed that only 1% of website visitors click the sliders. When poorly
designed websites need help, web designers recommend creating a page with
important information and pictures that will be clearly found and understood by
the visitors.

5. Popups

Google has recently warned the websites to use pop up adverts because they hurt SEO and make users’ experience negative especially for those who use mobile devices. Reconsider pop up adverts on the website. Mobile users will tell you that some pop-ups really annoy especially when you can’t close them.

6. The Absence of Bullets

The practice
shows that using bullets help users to find necessary information quicker. For
example, sections pros and cons should be organized in bullets. By listing
advantages of the service that the company offers instead of putting this
information in the text, you will highlight what is important and direct the
users. Bullet lists will improve the document’s readability and help users not
to get confused by looking for important information through texts.

7. Too Large Images

Using
picture and photos on a website is great but when their size is too large, it
will take a long time for a site to load. Reconsider the size of graphics that you are using on
the website and whether they are needed after all. Average users don’t wait for
a site to load if it takes longer than 5 seconds. You wouldn’t like to lose a
customer because of those beautiful pictures on the site, would you?

8. Hidden Contact Information

Contact
information is the link between you and your customers. Often contact
information is hidden or it’s really difficult to find it on the site. Such
details as phone number, email address, and mailing addresses with the map
should be visible on the front page. Add “Contact us” section where users can
be guided to see all contact information or fill the online form with questions
and send their inquiry.

9. The Absence of Social Media Links

Believe us
or not but modern users want to find your business on social media to read more
information, see photos and read what others say about the company. Popular
social media accounts dedicated to the business will create a better
relationship with the customers. It will help to drive big traffic to the site
within a short time.

10. Free Software

If
you are just learning how to design websites, using free software is acceptable
but if you are working as a web designer already, forget about free programs.
The downsides of using free apps for building site are lots of errors,
long loading time and poor performance in general. If you want to create
unique, excellently-performing and attractive websites that will make users’
experience positive, pay for the app to build a fantastic website and recommend
yourself as a professional web designer.

So, now you
know what mistakes to avoid in order to create and keep the website in the
perfect condition. Make it attractive yet convenient for users and the website
will bring the desired result.

10 Deadly Sins That You Can Commit as a Web Designer

1. Complicated Navigation

The first rule is to keep navigation simple. Remember that the users can be the people who use the Internet sometimes and don’t visit dozens of websites every day as you do. Such an audience can get easily confused and frustrated. It’s recommended to create a menu with short descriptive tags. There also should be a clearly visible search box, so the users can type the name of the product and quickly find what they came for.

2. Fonts are Too Small

Do
you enjoy reading small fonts online? No, this is
very disturbing and makes you ask “Who was this written for?” Forget about an
old-school website with font 12 that is really hard to read. It’s not so bad
when someone is using a tablet but what if someone is using a computer with 24
inches screen, are they supposed to zoom? Important information should be
written clearly. The statistic shows that you have only 8 seconds to make an
impression, therefore, use headline fonts to grab users’ attention.

3. A Lack of Call to Action

There are plenty of websites that provide interesting information but make someone doubt what to do next. Call to action wording such as “Sign up today”, “Contact us” or “Add to cart” will make users’ experience so much easier and much more effective for the business. A custom writing service Paperial and the professional authors with good knowledge in web design topic will help you to write more ideas in your dissertation on useful tools and mistakes in designing websites.

4. Moving Sliders

Moving
banners often distract users from searching for the necessary items on the
website. In some cases, such moving sliders are absolutely useless. The recent
statistic showed that only 1% of website visitors click the sliders. When poorly
designed websites need help, web designers recommend creating a page with
important information and pictures that will be clearly found and understood by
the visitors.

5. Popups

Google has recently warned the websites to use pop up adverts because they hurt SEO and make users’ experience negative especially for those who use mobile devices. Reconsider pop up adverts on the website. Mobile users will tell you that some pop-ups really annoy especially when you can’t close them.

6. The Absence of Bullets

The practice
shows that using bullets help users to find necessary information quicker. For
example, sections pros and cons should be organized in bullets. By listing
advantages of the service that the company offers instead of putting this
information in the text, you will highlight what is important and direct the
users. Bullet lists will improve the document’s readability and help users not
to get confused by looking for important information through texts.

7. Too Large Images

Using
picture and photos on a website is great but when their size is too large, it
will take a long time for a site to load. Reconsider the size of graphics that you are using on
the website and whether they are needed after all. Average users don’t wait for
a site to load if it takes longer than 5 seconds. You wouldn’t like to lose a
customer because of those beautiful pictures on the site, would you?

8. Hidden Contact Information

Contact
information is the link between you and your customers. Often contact
information is hidden or it’s really difficult to find it on the site. Such
details as phone number, email address, and mailing addresses with the map
should be visible on the front page. Add “Contact us” section where users can
be guided to see all contact information or fill the online form with questions
and send their inquiry.

9. The Absence of Social Media Links

Believe us
or not but modern users want to find your business on social media to read more
information, see photos and read what others say about the company. Popular
social media accounts dedicated to the business will create a better
relationship with the customers. It will help to drive big traffic to the site
within a short time.

10. Free Software

If
you are just learning how to design websites, using free software is acceptable
but if you are working as a web designer already, forget about free programs.
The downsides of using free apps for building site are lots of errors,
long loading time and poor performance in general. If you want to create
unique, excellently-performing and attractive websites that will make users’
experience positive, pay for the app to build a fantastic website and recommend
yourself as a professional web designer.

So, now you
know what mistakes to avoid in order to create and keep the website in the
perfect condition. Make it attractive yet convenient for users and the website
will bring the desired result.
