Industry News 13th December 2023

Trends in 2024 for Graphic Design

As we venture into the dynamic design landscape of 2024, we’re excited to share an exclusive sneak peek into the trends that will shape the visual journey ahead. Our talented team of designers has pooled their insights to offer you a curated forecast of what’s on the horizon. Join us for an insider’s look at the top graphic design predictions for 2024. Get ready to stay ahead of the curve with these exclusive insights into the evolving design landscape.

 

Exotic Script Fonts and Handwritten Textures

Typography takes a global turn in 2024 as designers embrace exotic script fonts. Drawing inspiration from various cultures and languages, these fonts inject an element of intrigue and uniqueness into designs, creating a visual tapestry that transcends borders. Alongside this, handwritten textures, mimicking the imperfections of human handwriting, add a personal touch and warmth to designs, making them more relatable and authentic.

Experimental Layouts and Embracing Representation

Say goodbye to the mundane, and welcome the era of experimental layouts. Designers are challenging traditional typographic conventions, creating compositions that are visually arresting and break free from the ordinary. Simultaneously, the call for embracing representation grows stronger, urging designers to reflect diverse cultures, ethnicities, and body types in their creations. This not only promotes inclusivity but also enriches the visual narrative.

Cultural Fusion and Inclusive Language

The richness and diversity of human expression take centre stage as cultural fusion becomes a key trend in 2024. Drawing inspiration from various traditions, designers weave a tapestry of visuals that celebrate global diversity. Coupled with this, the use of inclusive language becomes imperative, ensuring that designs are not just aesthetically pleasing but also resonate with a wide audience, free from stereotypes.

Natural Materials and Minimalistic Design

Sustainability is not just a buzzword; it’s a responsibility. In 2024, designers are turning to natural and renewable materials, adopting eco-friendly practices in their creations. The minimalist design approach gains momentum, focusing on essential elements and reducing visual clutter, thereby minimising environmental impact.

Generative Art and Design

Embracing the power of AI, means that 2024 will likely become a transformative year for the design industry, where AI becomes a co-pilot, not merely a tool, opening new vistas of artistic expression. It’s believed that AI wont only be a catalyst for innovation but also as a means to enhance efficiency by automating repetitive tasks, streamlining workflows, and fostering collaborative design efforts. The synergy between human intuition and AI-driven insights is set to redefine the very essence of graphic design, offering designers unprecedented possibilities in the coming year.

Interactive, Sustainable, and Conversational Packaging

Packaging isn’t just about protecting the product; it’s about creating an experience. In 2024, designers are exploring interactive packaging that engages consumers on a whole new level. From hidden compartments to augmented reality elements, packaging becomes a portal to a more immersive brand experience.

Sustainability takes centre stage in packaging design, with a focus on recycled materials, vegetable-based inks, and other eco-friendly practices. Additionally, conversational packaging adds a personal touch, starting a dialogue with consumers through humour, questions, or hidden messages.

Limited Edition Packaging and Sensory Print Design

Creating a sense of exclusivity, limited edition packaging is set to captivate consumers and drive excitement. This strategy not only boosts sales but also adds a layer of prestige to the product. Sensory print design, incorporating tactile elements like embossed or raised printing, elevates the consumer experience, making it more memorable and engaging.

 

You might have noticed something missing from our trends; colour. Fear not, we covered colour trends that will be captivating the design world, and of course the visual landscape in 2024 in an earlier post. At PHd Design, we’re not just following trends; we’re setting them. Join us on this creative journey, where every design tells a story, and every trend opens a new chapter.

Tangram Delights: Unwrap a World of Festive Fun with Our Custom Wooden Puzzles

Studio News 7th December 2023

PHd Design, a Staffordshire design agency, celebrates the holidays by gifting custom wooden tangram puzzles to clients.

The festive season is upon us, and at PHd Design, we believe in celebrating the spirit of creativity and gratitude. This year, we wanted to do something truly special and unique for our clients who have been instrumental in making our graphic design agency thrive. As a token of our appreciation, we’ve crafted custom-made wooden tangrams as unique Christmas gifts to express our heartfelt thanks.

 

Crafting Connections Through Tangrams

Tangrams, a traditional Chinese puzzle, consist of seven pieces that form a square. The challenge lies in rearranging these pieces to create various shapes and forms. At PHd Design, we see these puzzles as more than just a source of entertainment. They are symbolic of the pieces coming together to create something greater—a reflection of our collaborative approach to design.

The Art of Giving

Each wooden tangram has been meticulously crafted and engraved , embodying the precision and attention to detail that defines our work. The decision to choose wooden tangrams was deliberate; it represents our commitment to sustainability and our love for timeless, natural materials. We wanted our clients to receive not just a gift but a piece of art that mirrors our dedication to craftsmanship.

Unlocking Creativity

As part of the gift, we’ve included a challenge for our clients and a select few others who have played vital roles in our journey. Inside each beautifully wrapped package is not just a tangram set, but a puzzle waiting to be solved. We believe in infusing fun and creativity into everything we do, and these tangrams are no exception.

Solutions to the Puzzle

For those eager to unravel the mystery, we’ve included a guide to solving the tangram puzzle. The solutions, however, are just the beginning. The real joy lies in experimenting, pushing the boundaries, and discovering new shapes and forms. It’s a metaphor for the collaborative journey we embark on with our clients—a continuous exploration of possibilities.

Joining Forces for a Creative Future

At PHd Design, we are more than a graphic design agency; we are partners in creativity. As we exchange gifts this holiday season, we want to express our gratitude for the trust and collaboration that have defined our relationships. These tangrams are a small but meaningful representation of the puzzles we solve together, creating designs that stand the test of time.
