Graphic Design Trends of 2022

“The best way to predict the future is to create it.” The world has been going through interesting changes, and in the design world, these events have changed the way art is used to communicate. Mira Malhotra, a graphic designer and artist shares design innovations we will see dominate the landscape in 2022.

Graphic design is a fast-moving discipline, with trends changing massively over the past few years. The pandemic brought a shift in how we perceive art, design and media and with the Internet of Things (IoT) gaining prevalence, the design world is going to see a lot of changes in the coming years.

This has led an increasing number of designers and agencies to be more experimental and approach design in new and unique ways. 2022 design trends promise to be nothing short of unpredictable. This year—like an echo of the end of the pandemic — the graphic design trends represent a fresh new start.

Here’s a quick rundown of the emerging trends in graphic design around the world.
