However, 2020 is a special year. It\u2019s the dawn of a new decade, and graphic designers are taking it to heart by emphasizing innovation and futurism in their designs. At the same time, many are seeking a return to our earthy roots. Here are the top five graphic design trends of 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Magical Metallics<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/flocksy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/BlogGraphic7_JPEG.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1093\" width=\"594\" height=\"395\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flocksy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/BlogGraphic7_JPEG.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/flocksy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/BlogGraphic7_JPEG-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/flocksy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/BlogGraphic7_JPEG-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 594px) 100vw, 594px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we\u2019re in the \u201820s again, designers are very into gold. They\u2019re using ornate gold designs, glittery accents, and elegant gold type. These designs look classy and timeless, and they remind audiences of wealth and luxury, which is always a good thing. Silver and bronze are also popular design elements, appearing as inlays, borders, photographs, and typographic elements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Funky Fonts<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who doesn\u2019t love fonts? The right font can make or break a design. But in 2020, designers are elevating fonts to be front and center in their designs. More and more new fonts are being released every day, and typographic distortions, custom-designed letters, and text-forward designs are all very \u201cin\u201d right now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Mysterious Masks<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s nothing quite like sweeping a layer of dust to reveal a shiny, fresh image \u2014 and that\u2019s the feeling that masking achieves digitally. Designers are layering solid colors over vibrant images, with cut-out letters or shapes revealing the beauty beneath. Masking gives a sophisticated allure to any design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Luscious Liquids<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As graphic design software has improved, so has its capacity to make hyper-real designs come to life. One 2020 trend is an indulgence in liquid dreams: designers are creating fluid, gooey designs to entice viewers. From drippy fonts to wavy masking to fluid textures, liquids are quite in vogue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tantalizing Textures<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> For years, slick surfaces and cool hues defined the modern era. Now, as many designers seek a return to a more organic style, they\u2019re incorporating earthy textures and colors into their designs. Often, they\u2019ll layer the textures to add depth to the design, or use them in unexpected ways to add visual interest. 2020 has seen a resurgence of vintage aesthetics and natural shades, all of which give designs an immersive, engaging look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/flocksy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/BlogGraphic1_JPEG.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flocksy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/BlogGraphic1_JPEG.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/flocksy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/BlogGraphic1_JPEG-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/flocksy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/BlogGraphic1_JPEG-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Wrapping Up<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Graphic designers play a huge role in defining our cultural aesthetic.
