2014 is rumored to be the year when graphic designers throw
caution to the wind and start creating some of the revolutionary work that will
mark a high point in the history of design. Eager to find out more, we took a
peek into the near future to see for ourselves if the rumors were true. Here’s
what we found.
1. Materialistic Designing
This technique of designing that has gained a very
remarkable reception in the global designing community is a fresh concept
invented by Google back in the June of 2014. By the end of the preceding year,
couple of websites has implemented material designing techniques into their
infrastructures both for the web portals and the mobile platform.
2. Flat Design
In search of visual clarity and ease of communication, flat
design is now commonplace and shading, reflections and beveled edges are a
thing of the past. Flat design is a trend that doesn’t use drop shadows or
gradients which therefore gives it an updated and clean look. The flat design is
also a more colorful and crisp design rather than the old fashioned ‘splash’
design.
3. Interactive Infographics
Flat design is a trend that doesn’t use drop shadows or
gradients which therefore gives it an updated and clean look. Flat design
emphasizes functionality and ease-of-use over looks. The flat design is also a
more colorful and crisp design rather than the old fashioned ‘splash’ design.
4. 3D printing
Don’t panic; flat design doesn’t bring about the total
demise of dimensionality and new opportunities brought about by 3D printing
allow 3D designs to enter the real world. The prospect of job opportunities in
this area has many graphic designers using their existing skills to retrain in
3D printed design. Popular software makes this process easier with more user
friendly systems.
5. Card Design
Card design has already been used in a couple of products of
its own by Google and has been a very popular graphic designing trend in 2014
with having great potential in the year of 2015 as well. Card designing is now
gaining fast momentum on various sites for both mini and big formats of the
web.
6. SVG
Scalable Vector Graphics or SVG, in short, possess many
advantages and powers which a lot of huge and stuffed graphics is unable to
achieve at times. The 2015 era is indeed the right one to use brilliantly
created two-dimensional graphics with such ideas and creativity that the viewer
simply can’t resist praising. Plus, with additional great browser support at
hand, a designer would only be dull and reckless if he or she does not obtain
the benefits of SVG on the websites they create.
7. Style Tiles
It can be referred to as the light versions of designing
guidelines or pyramid. This trend is highly useful when in application into
responsive websites. Instead, for a designer to design in several screens in
Adobe Photoshop, with an aid of Style Tiles, one can put their energy on
structuring a visual style apart from the layout and the actual architecture.
This creates great convenience to make wire-frames in the parallel, a major
graphic designing trend for 2015.
8. Animated Graphics
Graphics that interacts in real time are the benchmarks of
quality for any website today. A short and little but concise and witty
graphical animations could bring your viewers into a bowing position for the
wit and humor you display with great efficiency in execution. Mark the words,
animated graphics is a sure continues hot trends for graphic designing in 2015
and beyond for sure.
9. Lettering/ Typography
As the time progresses in the couple of recent years,
Lettering for exact meaning has evolved and become better, bolder, bigger and
efficient too. Now, as we step in 2015, we should expect fonts becoming more
and more useful and improved. Web lettering has come to us in leaps and bounds
over the course of last 5 years.
New era new trend, as much you should go on the way of
recent trend to have updated in design. If you don’t track most recent trend
you get backdated and not so perfect for the time. So you should keep in mind
about right and time being inclination.
