UI Design Trends 2017

2017 has been a bumper year for UI design. A number of complementary trends have emerged to create a distinctly modern style, destined to continue into 2018. Minimalism, creative typography, illustration, and UI animation have all been among the biggest trends. Marina Yalanska gives us a comprehensive review.

Gif My Year

How has your year been? Good, bad, or somewhere in between? Gif My Year is a great way to express your annual summary, without wasting valuable sofa time scouring the web for funny gifs. Simply enter your name, use the emojis to describe how your year began, continues, ended, and your hopes for 2018, the site will do the rest.

Best And Worst Identities of 2017

The last 12 months have seen thousands of companies, both large and small, rebrand themselves. Under Consideration looks back at the best and worst efforts of the year, including Calvin Klein, Nascar, Covergirl, Audi, ACLU, Mozilla, YouTube, ebay, Kickstarter, and more in this must-read roundup of 2017.

3 Things Trying to Kill Display Ads

Online content has been funded by advertising for years, but in 2017 the rise of ad-blockers threatened the revenue stream, and the designers that rely on it. In this partisan article Terenty Marinich looks at the three biggest threats to online advertising, and finds that it will continue to be profitable into 2018 and beyond.

The State of Web Design, December 2017

As we close out 2017 ready to start the new year, it's worth getting a little reflective and glancing over our shoulders at where we've been. Ezequiel Bruni identifies two diverging trends in web design, "experimentalists" and "standardistas", asks if 2018 will see the web schism, and if so, which path we should follow.

Undraw

Undraw is a great collection of illustrations, provided free of charge, under the open-source MIT license, meaning you can use them for personal or commercial projects without attribution. Drawn in a flat style, and exportable as SVG, you'll find characters, lifestyle elements, and tons of really useful UI illustrations.

14 Most Important UIs of 2017

2017 has been a year of enormous innovation in the field of UI design. Small interface tweaks might be forgettable when stacked up against new tech, or brand redesigns, but it's the UI changes that will last. Mark Wilson's comprehensive roundup looks at the interface designs that will influence us in 2018.

Magic Leap

Magic Leap aims to change the way we interact with digital. The platform aims to do for AR what Oculus did for VR. It features a digital light field to blend objects into the real world, realistic 3D mapping of surfaces, and a next-gen interface. The creator portal is open in 2018 and you can sign up now for updates.

Visual Identity 2017

With a different take on the visual identities that were wheeled out in 2017, Patrick Burgoyne takes a look back at his highlights from the last 12 months in branding, picking out some of the best examples of visual identity. Projects include the soccer team Juventus, London's Southbank Centre, and Czech Rail's SÅœDC branding.
