There is a new trend of putting bold typography and oversized lettering on the website. Oversized Elements can easily draw the user's attention and engages them. The bold and big characters can reflect your's brand message more effectively than smaller characters.
As we say, “the first impression is the last impression”, so your website first impression should be intuitive, engaging and attractive. You can also use a video or image as a background and overlay it with large typography. But you the content should be short and crisp so that bold and big characters can easily fit on the page layout.
5. Negative/White Space
The blank areas between the elements on the website are called negative or white space. The white space creates contrast and gives perfect balance. White space doesn’t mean that the color of blank space should be white, you can choose any light color that contrasts with your main theme.
White space helps the user to focus on the main content on the website and gives a neat and clean appearance. The fundamental part of the minimalistic design is to effectively utilize white space on the website. Whitespace gives the website a simple, uncluttered, and balanced look.
6. Split Content
This trend has been evolving for several years and users love it. In 2020 the designers are trying to use this trend to give the website a fresh and unique look. Using this theme, you can deliver more than one message on a single page. For example, on one side you can post content and on the other side photo or video.
To use this design effectively, cut the layout into two parts symmetrically. Now play with colors, fonts, photos to give it a beautiful and catchy look. In this way, you can give importance to both parts of the website.
7. Animations and Dynamic Graphics
Nowadays the web designers are choosing animations, illustrations, and dynamic graphics over videos because video can slow down your website. You can design custom animation or motion graphics for your website.

But some designers are following a new trend of using a broken grid technique by placing the elements in a random manner. So, if you are looking to make your website more creative then use this type of design.
But before designing make sure you design a blueprint of the layout and positions of the elements. The best combination will be a dynamic background and asymmetric content in bold typography.
