“Neumorphism” is a new slang term in design circles — co-created by Michal Malewicz — which essentially crosses the words “new” and “skeuomorphism”.

Neumorphism

Many brands have begun to use geometric shapes within their designs.  This is one simple way to "add order, consistency, and structure" to your designs.

Skeuomorphism

Flat design is a minimalist style of design.  It was created as a response to skeumorphism's realism.  Flat design creates websites that are cleaner and easier to navigate, as well as a more modern look with its grid-based layouts and bold typography, and can also lead to better visitor engagement.  However, one issue with flat design, according to the Nielsen Norman Group, is that the flat design reduced click confidence in users, meaning that the user's understanding of what was clickable and not decreased.

Flat Design

Optical illusions are showing up in more designs in 2021.  For example, this illusion, called Mach bands, is based on the concept that shades of the same color placed adjacent to one another may create a false shadow.

Optical Illusion Design

As 3d technology advances and more experimental art styles are growing, seeing 3D elements added to designs is more and more common.  Designers will add 3D elements or effects to 2d spaces for more creative designs.

Graphic design is the process of visual communication and problem-solving through the use of typography, photography, iconography and illustration. The field is considered a subset of visual communication and communication design, but sometimes the term "graphic design" is used synonymously. Graphic designers use typography, visual arts, and page layout techniques to create visual compositions. Common applications of graphic design include corporate design (logos and branding), editorial design (magazines, newspapers and books), wayfinding or environmental design, advertising, web design, communication design, product packaging, and signage.

A design system is a set of clear standards and rules for how and why to use and manipulate UI elements so that the end result has structure and meaning. The design system system guides the UI designer in their design process so that the end result embodies the set of concepts given. This system usually contains a collection of reusable components, that can be assembled together to build any number of applications.

I would like to propose to change the color palette that is used in the 1Cademy intro video to utilize a complementary color palette consistently throughout. This will help organize the visual information presented in the video better, allowing the viewer to follow and retain the information that is presented to them. I used a color calculator to make sure that the colors that I chose were complementary to one another. These colors also match the interface design, reiterating brand recognition to the viewer as well.

The first color wheel was designed by Sir Isaac Newton in 1666.
