one hot an emerging graphic design trend of 2020 is a modernisation and
innovation of typography in graphic design now simply put you're
gonna see a whole lot more of typography being used in very interesting ways this
year I'm going to give you the rundown of some of these uses and I was actually
going to be a test at the very end of the video so do follow along and absorb
the topography goodness in today's video now typography is a huge part of graphic
design and I've said it before many times on this channel and in fact
typography is a graphic design principle innovate zone so what is the big fuss in
2020 there actually are a few sectors of typography that will become and have
already become trends within the graphic design world for 2020 so the first a
typography trend is the usage of thicker and bold fonts brands are starting to
incorporate bold sans-serif fonts to modernize the graphic designs you will
also see them on posters on web designs and even on package design too now in
attempting to use bold and heavy fonts for your graphic designs it's crucial to
first select the right font family take a quick look at elrond for example it
has a couple of pretty heavy fonts in the font family the black and the heavy
options being most notable we're actually applying the font to the
graphic designs there are two good rules that you need to keep in mind now
firstly try to keep the super heavy fonts for short phrases or just a few
simple words only overcrowding your design with too much heavy typography
can be off-putting secondly add in some thinner typography for contrast and this
will balance your design out to make it more visually appealing also the heavy
use of typography can act as a focal point and draw in a viewer as a visual
starting point on your design
another use of typography that you will see is a graphic design trend more in
2020 is innovation of typography being used to create 2d and 3d shapes and this
is innovation of design and it isn't something new as such but the use of it
becoming more and more popular is something new for the 21st century
the use of typography in terms of creating shapes and design elements can
be very effective however like with any design you really
need to make sure the design fits the message of the brief so don't go and
simply make a cube of text just because it looks cool there are many things you
can do typography in terms of shape a semi shuttle and some are really bold or
imposing but make sure to adhere to the other design principles while
incorporating this trend so use things like balance focal points contrast the
so forth but yeah the brief is really important in every graphic design
projects that you embark on so the third use of typography set a trend in 2020 is
maxy typography now this actually has been a trend for 2019 and also a little
bit back in 2018 as well but it is going to bleed over to 2022 pun intended
now maxi typography sort of links into the first edition in this video as it
involves bold and heavy phone use maxi is the use of typography that is so bold
and heavy that is sometimes bleeds off the page and it really takes the center
stage as a focal points sometimes other design elements will obscure parts of
the lettering giving it more intrigue and interest the bold use of typography
is often also flat with maxi type so that means no gradients or 3d text when
concerning maxi typography maxi type is also about getting the message across in
the boldest and the most attention-seeking way possible
now before the test we have one more aspect of topography that is set to
train in 2020 and that is a semi transparent user type on a graphic
design and this is something I've dabbled in myself over the years so it's
nice this here becomes some popular this year using semi transparent ibaka fee is
a good choice for typography being placed over a fairly busy design or an
image the typography effectively blends a composition and at the same time stays
a significant element of the whole design now it's a nice way just to tie
everything together and again a choice of bold font here is always a good move
