We’re a quarter of the way through 2019 and there are some definite graphic design trends that we can already see for this year – and for the remaining months. The following 5 graphic design trends are popular for 2019: 1. Open compositions 2. 3D: depth of a new generation 3. Anti-gravity: flying and floating elements 4. Vivid colours and dreamy colour combinations 5. Metallic effect: gold, silver and iridescent We uncover what each of these trends are and we’re excited with the results. Open compositions If you remember, in 2018, designers used to put frames on everything to achieve a ‘finished’ design. Lately, there has been a tendency for open, airy designs that show the whole ‘picture.’ You will see this on websites, where the screens are full-width to create an interactive experience. 3D: depth of a new generation 3D is a technology that is constantly evolving and developing. It’s a development that is allowing graphic designers to create amazing masterpieces that transpire and surprise viewers. Think of some 3D designs that you have seen and how impactful they’ve been. Anti-gravity: flying and floating elements Futuristic vibes are a popular design trend this year. The notion of designs moving and behaving like they are in a non-gravity environment makes people feel free, enlightened and limitless. This design treatment allows people to see a new world where the possibilities are endless. Vivid colours and complimentary combinations Vivid colours are eye-catching and mesmerizing. This trend is something that will always be popular due to its powerful and uplifting nature. When have you been able to look past bright colours on a design – whether that be in traditional marketing, on a website or digital campaign? The key is to ensure that the colour combinations work together! Metallic effect: gold, silver and iridescent Gold never goes out of style and this year, it’s a must-have design treatment. Incorporating metal elements into designs is also popular. These effects are trendy, classy and enchanting.
