POTENTIAL OF VIBE CODING DESIGN IN INCREASING DIVERSITY OF UI DESIGN STYLES

This article investigates the transformative potential of vibe coding — a text-to-interface paradigm — in diversifying user interface (UI) design styles and its broader implications for professional practice. By employing Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate executable code directly from natural language prompts, vibe coding lowers entry barriers for non-designers while automating labor-intensive production stages. Utilizing memetic theory and a systematic analysis of implementation cases, the study explores the tension between automated stylistic homogenization and the emergence of non-trivial, naïve, and artisanal design solutions. The findings indicate a significant shift in professional roles: while automation risks deskilling junior designers by interrupting traditional learning routines, it elevates senior practitioners to roles focused on curatorial authorship and metadesign. The research concludes that the industry is heading toward a strategic bifurcation: a mass-market segment dominated by standardized, utilitarian machine-generated interfaces, and a premium craft design through human-led innovation. This evolution compels the professional design community to redefine its identity, shifting from functional problem-solving toward conceptual authenticity and complex visual manifesto.
