Gamification has become one of the most exciting UX design trends in recent years. Regardless of the “seriousness” of the tasks we perform using apps, we still prefer those mobile experiences that give us laughter and fun. Gamification can become an excellent solution for many apps. It empowers us to transform even the most tedious processes and daily activities into the fun for users.

Human is initially imperfect. However, is imperfection something bad? Imperfection means a diversity of forms, meanings, experiences, and perspectives. The human body is imperfect because of a variety of individual peculiarities. The human mind is imperfect because we all have diverse views, thoughts, and life experiences. If it all were perfect, we’d probably lived in a society of clones and boring copies.
With a very blurry understanding of what is “normal,” we usually design things that fall into this category. Most often, we miss the needs of those who are different, those who don’t match our concept of “normal.” Here…

The aesthetics of the past is in the present. Under the unavoidable impact of modern digital trends and technologies, it has experienced changes, acquired a somewhat different form and entered the digital age as a kind of innovation.
Graphic design trends usually reflect what people experienced in recent times. This year, they went through a lot. Naturally, graphic design has absorbed these changes and given birth to new styles or brought some old-school trends back to life. Here you can find an outlook of several trends in graphic design that appeared many years ago and resurrected today.
Mesmerizing Psych-Out

Product design is one of the main differentiators in the digital competition. It plays a particular role and helps the brand to make a powerful impression on a target audience.

What is our future? Travels to Mars, flying vehicles, voice-controlled homes, robots, drones, and urbanistic landscapes? Partially. It is so close that we can feel the wind from its wings on our cheeks. It’s being created at every moment of our lives.

The Earth is a big mom embracing all of us in its huge hugs. Awful things are now happening around the world. They aren’t an accidental event coincidence. The Earth is breathing harder than earlier. I’m not speaking paranoically, and I’m not a fan of pro-apocalyptic videos on YouTube.
