today we're going to be looking at five graphic design trends for 2018 and if
they're important and not to follow what is up people welcome back to satori
graphics the home of graphic design content right here on YouTube so today I
have five graphic design trends for 2018 I'm going to look at if they're
important and not to follow at the very end of this video so let's take a brief
look at these five graphic design trends for 2018 so double exposure has been an
effect that's been around for quite a few years already but we're definitely
seeing a rise in the use of the double exposure effect more and more going into
2018 designers are not only experimenting with its effect for fun
and for fun artwork but it's being used in advertising and other areas of design
as well so you can expect to see double exposure making more and more of an
impact in graphic design into the new year the double exposure effect is
typically made of Photoshop and I myself have even made a tutorial on the double
exposure effect back in the Channel's history and yeah
satori graphics does make Photoshop tutorials from time to time once in a
blue moon springs to mind
the next graphy design trend that you can expect to see a lot more of in 2018
is responsive logo design responsive design has been around for about a
decade already and since then it's become more and more a standard within
the industry the rapid rise of mobile design and mobile interfaces has caused
some usability issues with standard websites designers developers experiment
with different ways to adapt to this change and thus they laid the groundwork
for what has become known as responsive design so with that being said you might
have seen that Lakers have responded to this as well and any typical logo design
now has two or multiple versions of itself going down in simplicity to adapt
to responsive design and this is only going to become a bigger bigger thing
going into 2018 and onwards so I'm sure you guys have all heard of well you know
about the bright and colorful hues of the 80s and the 90s
well it's gaining popularity once again as we move away from ultra ultra flat
design you can expect to see more geometric patterns inspired by the era
of the 80s and the 90s I myself have seen this all over Instagram and you can
expect to see more of in 2018 it's funny to see how like fashion trends go around
in circles and they repeat themselves over and over again what design trends
are no different so when it comes to typography in 2018 you can expect that
everything bigger and bolder is better so designers are going to be opting for
artistic effects and bold type for the headlines of their designs how better
conspired sans-serif fonts are going to be the main course when it comes to
typography and they seem to remain fashionable throughout time so you can
expect to see a lot more typefaces of this nature in 2018 and I'm personally
fine with this because I really do love San serif bold fonts so just how that's
ago I think they're really stylish in contemporary and they work across the
board however there's a time and a place for everything and you need to keep that
in mind especially when typography is concerned
so the last trend for 2018 when it comes to graphic design is custom graphics the
demand for custom art and custom graphics in design is growing and
growing growing custom imagery has always played a role when it comes to
print media but that's also growing as well however when it comes to digital
media custom graphics has kind of taken a backseat stock imagery was the gate to
for many many designers now advertisers and brands are elected for custom
graphics to stand out and designers are following suit now ready to love this
because I like to be individual and I like designers to do their own thing
instead of just pulling stock imagery from a website it can only breed more
creativity so there were five trends in graphic designer you can expect in 2018
I feel that's always helpful to be aware and to grasp the trends that are going
on in the design world as a graphic designer within the community of
designers it helps to understand what the trends are as it allows us to
communicate integrate together as one big family so for example posting
creative artwork on Instagram or social media that follows these trends it gets
everybody talking and communicating and designing things together as a family
this can also boost communication between designers and clients
interacting between these trends as well also it does work for specific areas of
graphic design in terms of work projects if it's using a skill for mana if you're
designing content that's going to be consumed by the viewer and gone away in
a matter of months using graphic design trends can be a good idea however I have
a major gripe when using graphic design trend for something like brand or logo
design that is apart from responsive logo design which is a bit different I'm
talking about typographic and style trends when you're designing a brand or
logo you wanted to stand the test of time you don't want it to be washed out
when a trend that comes and goes because a trend typically lasts like a year or
two of the Mist so when you're designing a brand or logo forget the trends and
concentrate on the brief and the brand itself so what do you think about
graphic line trends and grapples and trends of 2018 lemon in the comment
