We web designers sure do love design trends. Neumorphism<\/a>, Glassmorphism<\/a>, and now\u2026 Claymorphism. Take an interesting look and add \u201cmorphism\u201d to the end \u2013 that\u2019s how we roll.<\/p>\n

So, what is Claymorphism? It\u2019s a little bit retro with a hint of Material Design<\/a> mixed in. These elements typically feature rounded corners along with beveled edges. The result is a softly-detailed 3D shape that practically jumps off the screen.<\/p>\n

In some ways, it\u2019s reminiscent of the ultra-thick images that were used back in the 1990s. Only this time around, designers don\u2019t need to open up Photoshop. Instead, everything one needs is available via CSS.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking to use Claymorphic elements in your designs, you\u2019ve come to the right place. We\u2019ve rounded up eight fun examples that have been modeled with creativity (see what we did there?) \u2013 enjoy!<\/p>\n

UI Designs by Brandon Caples<\/small><\/h2>\n

Do you have trouble keeping track of design trends? This helpful snippet provides labeled examples for you \u2013 including Claymorphism. You might want to print this out and keep it for future reference.<\/p>\n

Claymorphism in User Interfaces by Shakhzod Tojiyev<\/small><\/h2>\n

Card UIs seem to be everywhere<\/a> these days. They offer an effective means to make similar content items stand out. Here, Claymorphism is used to provide some extra impact without being visually overwhelming. The blue glow around the individual elements is a nice touch.<\/p>\n

Ventilo by Bailh<\/small><\/h2>\n

This snippet shows that Claymorphism can go beyond static elements. Here, 3D shapes fly around the screen in a confetti-like animation. JavaScript powers the movement, but the clay adds to the overall aesthetic.<\/p>\n

Claymorphic Dashboard * (Responsive, CSS Only) by Mozzarella<\/small><\/h2>\n

The design trend examples we share tend to focus on a single element. But it\u2019s an extra special treat to find an entire screen devoted to a subject. This dashboard design features buttons, cards, and even a hero image. Be sure to check out the beautiful hover effects as well.<\/p>\n

Claymorphism Form Component by Albert<\/small><\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s a real-world example of a Claymorphic container housing a form. Imagine this being utilized in a sidebar or perhaps even a modal window. The effect is subtle \u2013 making it a perfect fit for a business website.<\/p>\n

Claymorphism by Preethi<\/small><\/h2>\n

While there\u2019s nothing fancy about this snippet, it does offer a look at how this trend could apply to an alert message. There\u2019s something to be said for the simplicity here. It grabs your attention, but in a friendly way (the emoji<\/a> doesn\u2019t hurt, either).<\/p>\n

wip by Ward Larson<\/small><\/h2>\n

We found a few developers who dared to combine Claymorphism with other trendy looks. This one pairs up the newbie with Glassmorphism, resulting in an ultra-cool UI. The semi-transparent glass container goes beautifully with the smoothly-beveled button.<\/p>\n

Untitled by Scott Shields<\/small><\/h2>\n

Perhaps the title of this snippet is uninspiring \u2013 but the work itself is quite meaningful. It utilizes Clay.css<\/a>, a framework that adds Claymorphism to design elements. This is perhaps the quickest solution for those who want to dive headfirst into this style.<\/p>\n

Better Design through Clay<\/h2>\n

At first glance, Claymorphism may look a bit lighthearted and silly. And it certainly is capable of that kind of aesthetic. However, the potential is there to go deeper.<\/p>\n

When utilized with a degree of subtlety, the style could be just the thing to liven up any type of website. It helps to create a natural separation between design elements (such as cards) and makes for a more intuitive UI (3D buttons). That could benefit everyone from bloggers to retailers and beyond.<\/p>\n
