Today, we only want to go over the best of the best of graphic design trends in 2020.
So let’s do this.
Graphic Design Trends in 2020 You Need To Look Out For
So let’s do this. May the new year bring loads of good times and good graphic design trends!
Realism
Realism and 3D designs are a trend that reigned all of 2019, and we expect it to become even more popular during 2020.
Technology is constantly evolving and improving and we’re always impressed and excited to see what designers will do with this. We’re convinced that we will continue to see 3D designs all throughout 2020.

Lots of people always like to combine real objects and images into their designs, but if this is something you choose to do, make sure you avoid the uncanny effect!

Minimalism
Another trend we don’t expect to take a back seat this upcoming year is minimalism.
Minimalism has been slowly creeping in on us for a while, and almost everyone seems to embrace it with open arms.
And the best part about minimalism you may ask? Less work.
I’m just kidding. Designing something minimally can be just as much work and take just as much brainpower as making a 3D intricate design.
It has to be aesthetically pleasing to the eye and make sense within a single glance.
Let’s take a look at some examples.

Vibrant Color Palletes
I’ve been reading a lot about color associations recently and I’ve learned that people will ignore neutral colors or worse, won’t even notice them, whereas when someone sees a vibrant color after seeing lots of neutrals, it’ll break the boredom and they will feel notions of excitement and fun.
This year in 2020, break all of the rules and embrace the vibrant colors that this world has to offer.
Life is short, use all the colors!
Stand out of the crowd by using bright and vibrant colors.

Metallics
Following more color schemes, we present to you, the shiny metals trend.
This is definitely something that I like to see and you’ll see it a lot on packaging.

Line Art
And finally, we come to our last graphic design trend of 2020 for this article which is line art.
Line art is a branch of minimalism and is a simplified illustration style that takes a lot of creativity.
It is clean and elegant and very intriguing to look at. See for yourself!
