Trends 2019
Keynotes

2018 was a year where taking risks in design were
considered normal and part of the trend. Thanks to
the designer community who have made the terms
like ‘minimal’, ‘bold’, ‘distorted’, ‘asymmetrical’
also a trendy word in the design field.
Without much delay, let's jump into the graphic
design trends for 2019. Again these are just
predictions based on the buzz in the design industry
as of now.

Pop up colors, Blue and Violet pops: the color of the year
Colors have become the key drivers of attractive designs. The
pop up color trends are beyond belief and purple was one of
the dreamy colors in 2018. Hopefully, it will crown the same
place in 2019 along with astonishing blue. Have a look at the
images below.

layouts. Layouts with
no continuous pattern

Creative Typography
Creativity is just not limited to vibrant
designs and unusual combination of colors.
Typographies also claim a very unique
position in getting that creative touch from a
designer.
Be it a poster, a header in a website banner, a
simple advert - a creatively designed
typography is all it needs sometimes to
deliver the message it needs to convey.

Bold Colors, Colored fonts, Photography based on Moods
Bold colors dominated the design industry in
2018. Designers enjoyed the freedom of
mixing multiple colors to get their dream
output. This trend is expected to continue in
2019. Using bold colors helps designers to
experiment with typography, layout and the
palette.

Duotones, Seamless gradients, and fluid designs
We have already highlighted in 2017 that
duotones will dominate in 2018. These
shades have brought a new perspective to
photography and design. This will
continue in 2019.
However, we feel that it is a bit overused
and frequent in the designs. We will have
to wait and see what interesting twists the
community brings in with duotones.

Minimalism - a new way, strokes, splashes, doodles, stains,
shapes
Minimum is maximum. Minimalistic
designs have always had their place in
professional graphic design. It's always
considered sophisticated and intelligent to
deliver the desired message with minimal
design.

Complicated hand drawn illustrations
Hand drawn illustrations are always
in demand. Thanks to the drawing
gadgets like Apple pencil, stylus,
wacom and much more that are
available in the market, that has
unleashed the more creative side of
the designers.

More animated SVGs
Animated SVG’s are in trend for some
time now. SVGs are Scalable Vector
Graphics that can be scaled to any
size right from mobile screen to HD
screen. Designers have started to try
various animation techniques with
these SVGs to bring unique user
experience to their users.

Creative photography, Distorted effects in images will gain
popularity
Photography is a separate topic by itself
and photography trends are so unique
and so vast to discuss in a small blog like
this. We will just cover how photography
trends will influence the graphic design
industry in 2019.

12. Colorwhistle
Metallics
Metallics are gaining popularity
nowadays. Metallic colors bring that
lustrous and royal feel to the canvas they
are used in. In 2019, we can see a lot of
metallic colors not only on digital canvas
but also in print designs.

13. Colorwhistle
Conclusion
The above trends are merely just predictions based on the likes
and dislikes of user behavior. The graphic design industry is
similar to the fashion industry, trends of one year will be
outdated the next year and vice versa.
However, it is safe to say that we are embarking on an
interesting year of graphic design in 2019.
All the best!
