A few of these design trends deserve an explanation.

Eco Packaging

The news is all about plastic and what to do with it, not to use it, and alternatives. This is a must when designing new products, especially in graphic design.

Illustrating eco-friendly packing is crucial to consumer and environmental demand. This will show determinism in repairing our earth as well as being a key component to social responsibility. 

Retro Human Illustrations

Exaggerated proportions are in. They are much better than stock photos and you can even customize them to your liking. Don’t be boring, be creative! 

Gradients

Gradients can always be used to transform an image. By making them complex, you can create dreamy and magical illusions that make your users want more. With them wanting more, you can create a surreal experience with your design making your product/service intriguing. 

Isometric Illustration

Visual storytelling can help you create a landscape simplified for your viewers. Show them what your product can do without them having it in their hands. 

Show them the scope of how you can help them through visuals. It will take time and plenty of attention to detail, but it’s worth it!
