The 5 major trends in graphic design for 2024
1. 3D Characters
Virtual reality is about to take over our everyday reality soon. No, I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but it seems more than likely to me.
Because of this, we’re more used to seeing 3D visuals on our screens. They seem more real to us and feel closer to us. That’s why 3D design has become so popular, especially in character creation. You can let these little 3D friends accompany users everywhere, whether on the websites of technology companies or in an app.
2. Mixing 3D and 2D elements
Along with 3D characters, we are increasingly used to seeing the combination of 3D and 2D elements in a design.
The contrast between them is often striking and beautiful. It adds depth to the design in question. For example, look at the image of the hero of Neverland:
3. Candy Colors
Don’t sugarcoat it, but do reserve a place for sugary colors in your color palette. It’s like taking us to fairyland, away from the unbearable pain of existence, right? LOL
You can think of following this graphic design trend and using a similar color scheme to give a more positive vibe and appeal to the inner child of the users.
4. Holographic Design
Have you heard of hologram concerts where a hologram of a singer appears on stage, even if they’re dead?
Well, I’ve heard of it and I’ve fallen in love with the 21st century all over again. High tech is cool, guys! Of course, this trend has also affected graphic design. People love those almost transparent visuals filled with mottled colors and neon.
5. Psychedelic Shapes and Fonts
Psychedelic design is taking over the stage these days. In contrast to futuristic designs and the celebration of high technology, old-school and 60s design types are quite popular. Brighter colors and abstract illustrations are the essential parts of this trend.
