9 current design trends

The digital world is subject to constant change, and developments in graphic and web design are no exception. What was considered modern yesterday can be outdated today and replaced by new trends. Companies and self-employed people want to avoid their websites losing their appeal due to outdated designs and no longer appearing contemporary. To stay up to date, it is therefore important for graphic and web designers to be informed about current design trends, as modern graphic and web design is often based on these tendencies. Here I present the current trends:

  1. Responsive design: Responsive design will continue to be one of the most important requirements for web design in order to ensure an optimal display on different devices.
  2. Animations: Motion and animation are being used more frequently in web design to create an interactive and engaging experience for users.
  3. Bold typography: Typography will remain an important factor in web design, with larger, eye-catching fonts and creative font styles.
  4. Micro-interactions: Small interactions such as hover effects, buttons and button animations are being used more frequently in web design to improve the user experience.
  5. Minimalism: Minimalist design will continue to be an important trend in web design, with clear and simple layouts that create an elegant user experience.
  6. Retro design: Retro design elements from the 70s, 80s and 90s will continue to be in vogue as designers use them to create a sense of nostalgia and familiarity.
  7. Handmade elements: Handmade elements, such as hand-drawn illustrations or handwritten typography, are increasingly used in graphic design to create a personalised and handmade look.
  8. Muted Colors: Muted colours are used more frequently in graphic design to create a subtle and understated look that is still eye-catching.
  9. Geometric shapes: Geometric shapes are more commonly used in graphic design to create a modern and abstract look that is visually appealing.
