Hi again my dear friends,in this post i will like to share a few trend in graphic design that i hope you guys enjoy.
#1 Going back to the beginning of time:
Giving a reaction against the modern-days existence in which we are supercharged with every kind of information, data and constant updates from all around the world that is surrounding us, this trend for refined, ultra-simplified design blows communication down to its bare bones, stripping out unnecessary fuss and complications to leave graphic artwork in its purest form. It takes confidence and skill to design in this pared-back way – there’s nothing to hide behind – and the few elements need to work extra hard.
Adopting the idea of DIY type systems and taking it a little further, some designers all around the world are using everyday objects as playful, spontaneous typographic designs. Compiled from any number of gathered, scavenged and collected objects, these alphabets are truly unique and individual. One example is Jonas Buntenbruch’s provocatively titled ‘Fuck Experimental Type’ piece, which utilizes ‘found’ objects from his workspace to create the phrase – including pens, coins, scissors and a banana.

#2 Creating your own type:
The DIY type systems’ basically let you to make a compilation of your own letterforms using so-called ‘modular construction kits’, and then test and play around with the resulting alphabet for interesting results. Many such kits come in hybrid forms, combining multiple elements in various ways for true versatility. Christine Gertsch’s Modono project provides a series of horizontal, vertical, diagonal and corner components that can be used to make monospaced characters of different weights and colours.
#3 Handwritten type:
With the option of a polished digital perfection almost everywhere, the raw, flawed product of the human hand is becoming increasingly appealing, especially in contrast to overly slick digital design that’s too clean and crisp to have a soul of its own. Starting in reaction to the homogenization of type in emails, texts and tweets – where the personality of handwriting is stripped away – hand-written type adds a real sense of authenticity to a piece of design, as well as a whimsical edge.

#4 Creating type with everyday objects:

#5 Creating your own old school type
I think this trend develops the trend for rough, hand-drawn lettering even further. More than settle for the unnatural smoothness of standard off-the-shelf script fonts, designers are developing their own type using calligraphic techniques, imitating the authenticity of hand-inked lettering. This kind of unique craftsmanship is particularly in vogue, and the visual style of a hand-written personal letter suggests that time, effort and skill have been invested in a piece of graphic design.
I hope you really enjoy this, and that you apply this ideas on your designs
