Here’s the Definitive Guide to What Graphic Designers Should Know About 2021 Trends Part Two

Retrofuturism 

Retrofuturism is creating designs with computer inspired typography and bright colours that are reminiscent of the 1980s. This trend is one that graphic designers use to develop a sense of nostalgia with what could be considered an outdated style in many ways. 

This design often includes bright colours and computer-generated typography, which aims to recapture some aspects of 80's society but through more modern means. 

Authentic Representation 

The need for authenticity in graphic design is on the rise. This trend has to do with a sense of honesty when representing something or someone, and it's not limited to just one type of style, media, culture or viewpoint. The authentic representation designs include several aspects that all speak to this theme- designing according to an individual's uniqueness. 

Irreverent Characters 

This graphic design trend features characters that are a bit more off-putting. They may be foul-mouthed or overly aggressive which is not suitable to be put in a formal poster printing, but they're also hilarious and exciting in their own right. These irreverent designers create the type of designs by embracing the weirdness of a character and don't shy away from making bold statements.
