The ordinary squares from web design layout elements are already started to transform in triangles, rhombuses, hexagons and circles. Nowadays, unique sliders, gallery sections, bold fonts and blank spaces are used to catch user attention so used with common grids and rectangles. However, using unusual shapes and geometry in web designs doesn’t guarantee success as they need to be very well balanced to avoid a bad visual hierarchy or to overload it with unnecessary components.
Contemporary designers are taking a 45 degree turn when it comes to flat/material design and improvising with unique shapes and angles. They have altered the predictable form of design into eccentric yet eye-catching shapes. Not only are designers using them for icons and badges, but they are also being integrated with branding and other collateral in a creative way.
