# Design Fusion: The 9 Vibrant Graphic Design Trends to Watch in 2024

In 2023, artificial intelligence became a major topic of discussion. The emergence of AI tools, including generative AI, garnered significant media attention. McKinsey reported that GenAI could contribute as much as [$4.4 trillion annually to the global economy](https://www.mckinsey.com/quarterly/the-five-fifty/five-fifty-gen-ai-and-the-future-of-work?stcr=71E2D265B1BD4D72878A04C2A1C5CA67&cid=other-eml-alt-mip-mck&hlkid=1d8295d101c640399a510122c1418b61&hctky=14853613&hdpid=78a6d80d-57ee-418f-8df3-be80fa815fa1).

Society is split into two groups: those who fear [job loss from AI](https://piktochart.com/blog/what-jobs-will-ai-replace/) and those who benefit from AI tools to streamline workflow or enhance productivity.

Personally, I am saddened to hear how AI has replaced some jobs, but I am not concerned that this will become a widespread trend, especially for designers. Despite the power of AI tools, they still need the creativity that designers possess to bring ideas to life.

## How are these trends gathered?

After months of data gathering and analysis, our team of graphic designers have narrowed down to nine top graphic design trends that we predict will set the trends for 2024 and push visual experimentation boundaries to the next level.

## Top Graphic Design Trends for 2024

![design trends 2024 infographic with 9 top trends to watch](https://piktochart.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Design-Trends-2024-scaled.jpg)*9 Top Graphic Design Trends 2024*

### 1. Fusion design of AI generated visuals

According to [Adobe’s research about GenAI](https://blog.adobe.com/en/publish/2023/10/10/creative-pros-generative-ai-usage), 78% of the correspondence said generative AI boosts the quantity of their content. Also, 78% are confident that AI will positively impact their careers by enabling them to get more creative inspiration faster and create new mediums and styles.

Generative AI is an excellent example of how technology influences massive changes in the design industry. Users have already shown how powerful the tech can be, creating highly convincing AI-generated images like the [Pope wearing a Balenciaga puffer jacket](https://www.forbes.com/sites/danidiplacido/2023/03/27/why-did-balenciaga-pope-go-viral/?sh=2f82aa849725).

![viral ai generated image of pope wearing balenciaga puffer jacket](https://piktochart.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/pope-in-balenciaga.webp)*Image credit: REDDIT / U/TRIPPY_ART_SPECIAL*

What’s impressive is how accessible these tools are for the general public. In the past, designers’ tools were gated by high price points and often used only by businesses. Now, literally, anyone can become a designer.

And AI continues to develop at a frightening pace. We expect constant innovation and disruption to the design world as people learn how to create better-quality art.

![AI generating flawless digital art](https://piktochart.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/a-house-that-is-in-a-forest-with-and-ocean-with-the-c.jpg)*[Photo-like image of a house generated by AI](https://images.deepai.org/art-image/33b7afe6a8e2436aa10c46b2b566f1e1/a-house-that-is-in-a-forest-with-and-ocean-with-the-c.jpg)*

![example of painting like image generated by artificial intelligence tool](https://piktochart.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/poker-agents-aaa43f.jpg)*[Painting-like image of gentlemen playing poker generated by AI](https://images.deepai.org/art-image/a12f4b7fcf10499bb54a2178802e2105/poker-agents-aaa43f.jpg)*

### 2. Textured 3D design

Drawing inspiration from hyperrealistic 3D design style, one of the biggest graphic design trends trending for the past few years, we predict Textured 3D design will dominate the world of digital art in 2024.

Textured 3D design is a type of 3D design where a hyper-realistic texture is applied to text and used as the center of the design, drawing attention to the text.

![design thinking page design with textured 3d style](https://piktochart.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Design-thinking_-3D-_-page-design-by-Anastasia-Chernenko_1.png)*[“Design thinking” 3D & page design by Anastasia Chernenko](https://www.behance.net/gallery/182221109/Design-thinking-3D-page-design?tracking_source=search_projects%7C3D+icons)*

Previously, 3D design focused on adding superficial texture and basic shading to bring characters or illustrations to life. With rapid technological development, as of 2022, [3D designs built for AR and metaverse](https://blog.adobe.com/en/publish/2022/11/04/creating-content-experiences-for-the-virtual-future) have become increasingly realistic. As the demand for AR and metaverse continues to rise, this trend is expected to continue for several more years.

**Tip:** Textured 3D designs work best with a simple typography layout, where the text is the focus of the design. This style can be used for your poster, catalog cover, or as the main header of your website design.

### 3. Quirky characters

The following graphic design trend is my all-time favorite style: quirky characters. Funky and quirky characters are a distinct style of character illustrations with fluid-like bodies. Drawing inspiration from abstract and organic shapes, these characters can be spotted easily for their distinctively long legs, body, and arms.

“I love the sudden *boom* in quirkily designed and reimagined characters. It gives a fun & refreshing twist to a lot of visuals, characters, and designs. It opens doors to endless possibilities in creating visuals for posters, packaging, [social media graphics](https://piktochart.com/social-media/), and other brand materials!” Steph, our Senior Graphic Designer, added. “Coming up with these original characters is a smart way to get people to remember your brand and designs too!”

### 4. Hand drawn doodles

The hand drawn doodles graphic design trend, also known as hand drawn art, brings out the ‘human’ in design. It derives from the idea that handcrafted elements infuse warmth. More brands and corporations have recently adopted this style to create a friendly, approachable image. You can use this versatile style to create designs in print and digital media, from outdoor banners to social media graphics.

Our rockstar graphic designer, Den, once said, “I love combining the Liquid Retro Display Typeface and the Hand drawn Doodles. To me, this combination represents a new perspective that is limitless and not restricting. Additionally, the retro vibe of these two styles is so good when combined.”

As part of our research process, our designers collected brand images they liked from the previous year. We then shared our findings with the team and identified the styles we believe will be trending in 2024. Afterward, we conducted another round of voting to select our favorite styles and discussed the reasons behind our choices. The versatility of hand-drawn doodles makes it a favorite trend among all designers.

**Tip: **Combining hand-drawn elements with minimalist design and layout can create a modern and unique brand identity.

Alternatively, you can draw inspiration from the beautiful, natural world and create a serene and botanical design with hand drawn botanical doodles.

### 5. Liquid retro display typeface

Liquid retro display typefaces are similar to liquid typefaces but with a few key differences. While liquid typefaces have characters that resemble liquid, liquid retro typefaces have a bold stem and delicate, liquid-style stroke and tail. So, while both typefaces are liquid-like, the retro version has a slightly more industrial look.

![font anatomy showing stem stroke and tail of the font](https://piktochart.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/font-anatomy.png)*Font anatomy showing stem, stroke, and tail of a typeface.*

Liquid Retro Display Typefaces make really cool experimental fonts. They are popular for designing identities for art galleries, museums, or exhibitions due to their unique characteristics that attract attention.

Quoted from Lian, our Senior Graphic Designer at Piktochart, “And despite its decorative nature, it can still maintain its readability, creating a contrast that will add visual interest and help your message stand out. I can see Liquid Retro Display or similar typefaces remain in demand this 2024 because it is well-suited for website design to fresh packaging design trends.”

As shown in the examples, more brands are embracing this liquid retro display. But due to their relatively low readability, they’re used only in big-size texts.

**Tip: **You can use Piktochart’s Brand Fonts feature to upload liquid fonts and use them when you design your posters, flyers, logos, or social media graphics.

### 6. Metallic typography

Another charming graphic design trend that we predict will dominate the music and entertainment industry is Metallic typography. Metallic Typography is a special typography technique that involves adding a 3D texture to a text with liquid font. The result is a captivating metallic text that seamlessly blends industrial elements and is guaranteed to draw people’s attention to the text instantly.

They added the silver bling and the “rock band” vibe, which gives it a new and fresh look. I can see this style flourish in 2024, particularly in fashion (with the resurgence of the vintage big print tees) and the music scene.”

### 8. Bold-pastel duotone colors

The duotone style of combining exactly two colors for a design or artwork has existed since the nineteenth century. However, it gained widespread popularity in digital design in 2015, when renowned brands like Spotify started using the duotone effect in their reports.

This trend went so viral that I had difficulty finding the actual design by Spotify. I managed to locate the archive of the landing page design for [Spotify Year in Music 2015](https://onepagelove.com/spotify-year-in-music-2015), which featured the Duotone effect.

![spotify year in music we page design featuring duotone graphic design trend](https://piktochart.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Spotify-Year-in-Music-2015.jpg)*Spotify Year in Music 2015, photo by Onepagelove.com*

Soon after, the [duotone photo generator](https://duotone.shapefactory.co/) was created, which helped people apply the duotone effect to their photos. It’s hard to believe that it’s already been eight years since the trend became viral.

Since then, the duotone trend continues, but the color palette shifts dramatically. It’s getting several modifications through explorations in different colors.
