Beg, Borrow & Steal… When Appropriate Don’t be afraid to beg, borrow and steal these designs – but make them your own, and solve real problems for your users so they like the product designs you produce. Because product design trends are moving faster than ever before, and the variety of devices from which your web and mobile applications can be accessed is splintering, you’ll have to think about your product more comprehensively than ever before. Luckily, many people are in the same boat so there are many examples out there – including what I’ve laid out above. For a full list of UI design patterns, you’ll have to wait for our next web design trends e-book. In the meantime, UXPin’s current free e-books – Web Design Trends and Mobile Design Trends has a bunch of examples. To round off this book, I saved the best for last – design principles. In the next chapter, Design Principles for Wireframing, I detail some of the principles that will help you design better wireframes and, ultimately, better products.
