Graphics have never been more relevant than they are right now. We can see designs on every social media platform being used by businesses, influencers, and artists to boost their online presence.
Ever since the launch of the computer, a lot of people have had access to various design tools and can create their hand-drawn illustrations digitally.
A lot of marketers have been using visual content and original graphics such as infographics to grab attention. Such type of content cuts through social media feed and is more impactful.
Coming to the future of graphic design we need to first understand what’s the one thing that makes graphics unique, which is interactivity. In the future, the normal design which pops up as an image on your screen will be changed to something more responsive and interactive.
The designing present now will still be required in some capacity in the future. Movie posters will see an upgrade to a very minimalistic approach that focuses on a single element of the story. A renewed version of the vintage logos which were drawn by hand could make a comeback. We could see a major change in typography. Books which have been using the same typeface are expected to use different typefaces. There will no longer be a trend of making a design complex, instead, they will be simple which can create impact and have some meaning attached to it.
Traditional tools won’t be of much use in the future, and designers will have to move to a more technology-centred approach. Two sectors that remain untapped and hold immense potential is virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). This way designers will have a much better platform to express their vision.
However, this will also mean that designers will have to learn new skills including being able to code so that they can access the VR apps. This will make executing their ideas a very tough battle.
To summarize, today’s graphic designers have an unprecedented opportunity and also a challenge to face in the future to make the design experience more engaging and expressive.
