New browser possibilities offer brand-new design opportunities. Motion design in interfaces intersects with psychology showing more information that could have been lost taking into account the newest tendency to simplicity.
Animations in interfaces engage users on a much deeper level by grabbing their attention and giving a meaning at every second of interaction. Motion has a storytelling aspect that resonates with each and every customer.

It’s not new but goes on a higher level of execution. For a stack of reasons, designers tried to avoid 3D models in interfaces, although now with better browsers it becomes more of a must-have feature.
This is very useful for the companies that need to show details of some tech process and give their customers a clear understanding of how some things work. 3D visualization makes it all possible becoming a very powerful design tool.
#4. Burning gradients and darkness

More blazing colors with clear light that look really good in the dark background. The best design works will be represented by the ones with an ideal balance of vibrant colors and dark themes. That’s a great way to emphasize the most important elements.
