Web design examples from famous designers

future graphic design trends

Like many industries, graphic design is constantly changing. The way we create and consume content today is vastly different than it was 10 years ago, let alone 50 years ago. However, there are some core elements to the craft of graphic design that have remained constant throughout its history: typography, illustration, photography/videography and data visualization/infographics. These four elements are the foundation of any successful piece of visual communication—they’re what makes a good design great. So, as technology advances and our society changes more rapidly than ever before in human history—and as we move closer and closer to becoming cyborgs—what does this mean for how we interact with each other visually? What happens when machines start designing on their own?
