Just because the screen is flat, doesn’t mean your designs should be. Designers use tricks to add depth to their web designs, here are some of our favorites.
Designers sometimes employ shadows and gradients to give the impression of light hitting the elements of the page. Sometimes overdone and a bit cliché, it can make the flattest 2D images look 3D, regardless of background.
They can also put elements in front of each other; Overlapping grids or photos can give a sense of one thing physically being in front of the other, which suggests a sense of depth. Designers also use ribbons that wrap around other elements to highlight certain elements like headings or calls to actions. The ribbons can look like digital ribbons, with perfect lines, or they can look like real ribbons, floating organicly and wrapping softly around the page. Either way, the simple act of having a ribbon wrap around an object gives the impression of depth.
