10 UI Design Styles to Specify in AI Prompts

If your AI-generated interfaces look alike, name the visual style you want instead of asking only for a good-looking UI. Abdul Osama (عبدول أسامة) outlines ten styles, from real-world imitation to spatial interfaces, that can make a design request more specific.

Key takeaways

  • Name a UI style when requesting an AI-generated interface instead of asking only for something attractive.
  • The video covers ten distinct design styles.
  • The styles range from real-world imitation and glass effects to organized cards and spatial interfaces.
  • A style name clarifies visual direction, but you should still describe the interface you need.

If your AI-generated interfaces keep looking alike, specify a UI design style in your request. AI means artificial intelligence; UI design concerns the elements people see and interact with in an interface. Abdul Osama (عبدول أسامة) argues that knowing the names of different styles helps you describe the result you want instead of leaving its appearance open-ended.

“The reason isn’t AI; it’s that you don’t know the different UI design styles.” — Abdul Osama

The styles in the video

| Style | What it looks like | |---|---| | Skeuomorphism | Imitates real-world shapes and materials; a button might look like a physical button. | | Neumorphism | Soft elements with subtle shadows that appear to rise from the background. | | Glassmorphism | Transparent, glass-like layers with blur effects. | | Claymorphism | Rounded elements that look as though they were made from clay. | | Minimalism | Few elements and a simple, clean appearance. | | Maximalism | Strong colors, abundant detail and a lively appearance. | | Brutalism | A bold, rough style that does not aim for conventional prettiness. | | Liquid Glass | Fluid, glass-like interfaces with a sheen that responds to the user. | | Bento Grid | Content divided into organized cards that are easy to scan. | | Spatial UI | Interfaces designed for three-dimensional spaces, including AR and VR—augmented and virtual reality. |

How to use this in an AI request

Instead of asking for “a nice UI for software,” name a style—such as Minimalism or Bento Grid—and say what kind of interface you need. That gives the request a clearer visual direction; it does not mean one style will fit every project.

“Name the style you want.” — Abdul Osama

What to do next

Pick a style from the table and include its name in your next design request. If the result does not suit the content or how people will use the interface, try another style rather than changing only the colors.

Questions and answers

Why do my AI-generated interfaces look similar?

Abdul points to requests that do not specify a UI design style. His advice is to name the style you want.

What is the difference between Skeuomorphism and Neumorphism?

Skeuomorphism imitates real-world shapes and materials. Neumorphism uses soft elements and subtle shadows to make them appear raised from the background.

When should I ask for a Bento Grid?

Use that term when you want content divided into organized, easy-to-scan cards, as described in the video.

What is Spatial UI?

It refers to interfaces designed for three-dimensional spaces, such as augmented-reality and virtual-reality environments.
