What will graphic design look like in 2010
Fashion is one of those things that we all try and aspire to keep up with. Graphic design is not immune to this. Huge swings in graphic design trends shape the thinking in graphic designers minds and you will find that over the next few weeks people will try and predict 'the style' that will define 2010 (or 2K10).
Thinking about the New Year I thought that I would put forward my prediction for the design style of 2010.
A couple of years ago we saw the 'swoosh' device everywhere - it came at the bottom of letterheads and was incorporated in logos. Pepsi and Capital One being two big players...
We saw 'grunge' used everywhere and I say an awful lot of typographical design (the best I saw was Channel 4's Dumped series - the billboards were awesome!) took shape last year.
What are my thought's for 2010 then?
I think the use of typographical design will continue but with the twist of custom fonts, clever design with glyph shapes and with that, clean lines, very little use of colour and minimalist design. Let's see if I'm right next December.
In light of this I have created two free desktop backgrounds for you using these elements... in a very basic way... feel free to download for FREE. Please comment if you do download - there is a 1920x1200px (Click to download) and a 1024x768px (Click to download) background, use which ever you want.
Happy New Year everyone!
