RETRO-MODERN


Graphic design has a predilection for the vintage style. It collects influences and references from the 1950s especially.

This style has a privileged gap in packaging, web design and brand logos.

HAND DRAW


Brands always seek to establish an emotional connection with their customers and users. The hand or hand draw design conveys a human touch, closeness and casual and casual tone. They also evoke a certain childish and nostalgic feeling. In general, they are adaptable designs and applicable to all types of brands and companies. It serves both for logos and for typefaces.

LOGO RESPONSIVE


The appearance of different electronic devices, each with a different resolution and format, has completely changed the way graphic design is understood. Like the webs, the logos also have to be responsive and adapt to all screen sizes. Without losing quality, nor the essence, nor its main characteristics. Responsive logos are simple and malleable.

CINEMAGRAPHS


This is a booming trend. They are images that reproduce infinite times a subtle and little accentuated movement and that conveys the sensation of watching an animation. Usually in GIF format. The possibility of incorporating movement into the image provokes interest and captures the attention of the surfer.

MODULAR LAYOUT


Modular or modular design has been a leading trend for years. It will take force in 2017 due, mainly, to responsive design. It allows to organize large blocks of text in small spaces more manageable. Thus, greater interaction with the design and a professional appearance is achieved. It is recommended to merge blocks of text with images.

MINIMALISM AND FLAT DESIGN


Less is more. Minimalism is a trend emerged in the first half of the twentieth century that regains its strength thanks to web design. It is based on simplicity and functionality. This eliminates shadows, reliefs, gradients and textures. It dispenses with all three-dimensionality. Opt for flat colors and voids that provide breathability.

GREENERY


Pantone has already chosen the color that will mark 2017: greenery. It is a green with yellowish tones, very refreshing and revitalizing. Leptrice Eiseman, Executive Director of Pantone Color Institute, says that Greenery "represents the need for security and freshness in a politically and socially convulsive environment. That desire to reconnect with nature and oneself. " This color will encourage consumers to take in air and oxygenate.

NEGATIVE SPACES


Negative space is the same as silence. It also transmits and has value and meaning. The negative space is that void of elements, which is intentionally left unoccupied. It is about taking advantage of all the spaces to launch a second message. This 2017 will predominate the images that play with the negative spaces for deeper ideas or double meanings. It is used a lot in the design of logos. It helps convey a sense of minimalism and clarity.

Now that you know them, do not hesitate to apply these trends in the graphic design of your brand. To achieve a good branding strategy, take advantage of practical ENyD marketing and sales specialization courses.
