DESIGN TREND #1<\/h4>\n

2D\/3D MASHUP<\/h2>\n

The 3D design trend is still ongoing, evolving, and further establishing itself. As it offers limitless possibilities to designers, it gives room for anything you can imagine. From hyper-realistic 3D visuals that blur the line between digital and physical, to highly creative mashups with 2D and paper cutout elements. In terms of the latter, 2022 will show a great partnership between 2D and 3D<\/strong> that gives the best of the two worlds.<\/p>\n\t\t

DESIGN TREND #2<\/h4>\n

FONTS WITH A TWIST<\/h2>\n

This trend comes with typography that breaks the standards<\/strong>. It follows a similar to Riso print philosophy: something is beautifully off and imperfect. What exactly is that twist? Anything that breaks the order<\/strong>: one single letter might be upside down, bigger or smaller, in a different font, or completely missing. It could be a couple of letters in a small text<\/strong>, following a different pattern than the rest of the letters to reveal a different message<\/strong>. It\u2019s the perfect way to make emphasize and bring attention to something specific.<\/p>\n

Also, if you\u2019re thinking of the Squid Game intro, you\u2019re not alone.<\/p>\n

This twist looks most impressive in kinetic typography where the messages get unveiled through motion. In a static digital graphic, logos and signature graphics<\/strong> often play the role of the \u201ctwisted\u201d letters.<\/p>\n

DESIGN TREND #3<\/h4>\n

GLASS AND CRYSTALS<\/h2>\n

Last year, the gold design was a huge trend mimicking realistic physical gold and giving everyday items that extra special feel. The trend has now shifted to glass and crystal with incredible realism in 3D<\/strong> to bring the graphic design to the next level.<\/p>\n
