2009 design trends

31 Dec

I’ll keep adding them too, but let’s go with 3 main ones.
1. Amateur. Hand-drawn is the new slick as major corporations take on the innocent look of amateur design and smaller companies.

2. Minimal. This goes with amateur, but even slick logos are simple and to the point. Information overload and the perpetual growth of advertisements has led to a trend towards simplicity.

3. Everything goes. There are few rules left about what you can and cannot do in branding and logo design as designers and companies look to incorporate different cultures, time periods, and more into their images. Sites now combine different elements together, minimal, hand-drawn, new color combos, big images, small images, big navigation, small navigation, etc.
