In today\u2019s fast-changing world of user experience design, predicting the future is no longer the art of gazing into a crystal ball. Instead, keeping oneself up-to-date with latest techniques and trends not only delivers a better user experience but also gives a leading edge over the competition.<\/p>\n

With 2014 completely over (and 2 months from 2015 too), its a perfect time to take stock of what trends will make waves in the remainder of 2015. Being a UX geek, I have decided to write this article for the purpose of discussing UX design trends which I think will dominate 2015. Some of these trends actually emerged in 2014 or even before but we will see them making even bigger waves in 2015.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at them one by one!<\/p>\n

1. UX Responsive Web Design<\/h2>\n

As the usage of mobile devices grows exponentially, there is no doubt responsive design will continue to establish itself as an indispensable technique for designing websites in 2015. As a designer you will not only need to focus on what that content is but also how it is being delivered to users. 2015 is the year in which user experience would be about providing great responsive experiences.<\/p>\n

Though the concept of responsive web design is not new (as a matter of fact it first appeared in the brilliant article by Ethan Marcotte<\/a> in 2010), it will surely continue to dominate in 2015. Even Google recommends using a responsive design<\/a> pattern since it perfectly meets their content and link standards. So it is not an exaggeration to state that by the end of 2015, mobile would be the primary consideration for website design.

2. Material Design<\/h2>\n

In 2014, Google introduced Material Design<\/a> which is a new kind of \u2018Flat\u2019 design. In the preceding months, only Microsoft and Apple were promoting the flat design concept but finally with the release of material design, Google has made it clear \u2013 flat design is in. If you have ever used any of Google\u2019s apps, or Android 5.0 itself, you should be familiar with the look and feel of Material Design.<\/p>\n

Typical of the flat design, Material design style is also content-focused, adaptable and streamlined while bringing motion, visual and interaction design together. The popularity of this minimalistic design approach will continue in 2015 as it makes a website look cleaner and load faster by eliminating unnecessary elements.<\/p>\n

3. Meaningful UX Micro Interactions<\/h2>\n

If you love something \u2013 an appliance in your house, a wearable, a great app on your phone, or whatever \u2013 it is often because of the micro interactions you have with it. Micro-interactions are contained moments within a product, which revolve around a single task such as setting an alarm, deleting an email and syncing your device.<\/p>\n

Though micro interactions are near-invisible due to their small size, if done well, they can play a vital role in dramatically increasing the user experience. As the web is becoming more complex by the day, users expect your UI to be built around simple, effective and tiny micro interactions.<\/p>\n

4. Bigger Emphasis on Typography<\/h2>\n

Just like content is the king, typography is the queen for your website<\/a>. Gone are the days when you were required to shell out hundreds of dollars just to make the text of your tagline look good. Web font services like Google Fonts<\/a> and Typekit<\/a> are now offering a wide range of high-quality font sets at reasonable prices.<\/p>\n

In 2015, designers will be using typography as the centerpiece for their designs. Below are some great examples of unique typography that we expect to see in 2015:<\/p>\n
