Trending Now: design gets weird with @Luana Lloyd

Goodbye to sterile digital graphics. Weird design is taking over. @lulubss says so, and we believe it. Check out her predictions for the next design trends.

Scanning-XRay of objects

In a world where everyone wants to be their unique version of themselves, design trends are moving in that direction. Bringing everyday objects into graphic design through scanning and X-ray, offering a unique, tactile aesthetic.

Rather than relying on traditional digital graphics, this approach incorporates real-world items scanned into a computer, lending a raw, organic feel that captures the textures and imperfections of physical matter.

Gloobly Biology Fonts

Rounded, bulbous shapes, irregular lines, cell structures or flowing organic shapes. In design, we’ve been seeing more and more typefaces designed with a playful, organic, and perhaps slightly whimsical aesthetic, reminiscent of biological forms or illustrations.

That’s what I hope. That we move away from minimalism and toward a spirit of experimentation, curiosity and wonder.

Reimagining Print Formats

It moves beyond standard magazines and newspapers, exploring formats like fold-out posters, interactive elements, unique paper stocks, and unconventional binding. Since print is not dead, let’s at least make it through experimental layouts.

Enough with A4,

A3 and A2. Rectangular

formats are out.

Creative Coding

For last, buckle up, 'cause we're diving into some techy-artsy stuff. Creative coding is an art form that uses computer programming as a medium for artistic expression. It goes beyond functional software development, focusing on generating visuals, sounds, and interactive experiences.

With TouchDesigner, which is like the ultimate Lego set for digital artists, it’s possible to manipulate and combine various media elements in real-time, making it ideal for interactive installations, live visuals and experimental digital art.
