Graphic design is an influential industry. There can never be enough emphasis placed on the importance of graphic design in our daily lives. As a designer, it’s important to stay up to date on the latest graphic design trends and decide which ones to incorporate into your design portfolio.
The kinds of visual content being produced and consumed are changing as people continue to deal with the global pandemic and adjust to the “new normal.” Whether you’re looking ahead or looking back, we suspect you’ll find something that speaks to you among the creative trends of the year. Here are some of the trendy graphic designs that you can use.
1. 90’s Nostalgia
Through vivid color blocks and dripping slime, happy childhood memories rule supreme. Turn the clock back to the 1990s whenever your design project requires a sense of comfort with a dash of old-school cool.
2. Typography with a Twist
In a smaller text, a portion of your lettering could be arranged to reveal a different message than the rest. This design trend is a great way to make a statement and draw attention to a specific area of the design. You can add amorphous blobs, shapes that defy understanding, and mismatched lettering.
3. Ukiyo-e
Japanese ukiyo-e is a type of art that flourished from the 17th to the 19th centuries. They featured female beauty, kabuki actors, sumo wrestlers, historical and folkloric scenes, travel scenes, landscapes, and plants and animals.
4. Doodles
Doodles are more than just meaningless shapes you draw while watching a zoom presentation. In fact, what you doodle can reveal a lot about you. This type of abstract drawing can be combined with other design elements in an infinite number of ways to create truly unique and eclectic designs.
Graphic design trends will undoubtedly continue to play an important role in our daily lives, assisting brands and businesses in attracting and retaining more engaged audiences for their products and services.
To remain current and adaptable, brands must not only rely on current trends but also respond thoughtfully and quickly to changes in culture and society.
