@@PhilipVanDusen where do these trends come from? just your personal perceptions?

[@PhilipVanDusen]

@@numberonedad My personal observation, input from colleagues in the industry both agency-side and in-house, trend research agencies I am in contact with, among other things.

[@charlieweirauchiii5532]

Always look forward to your end of the year design trend for the upcoming year. Thank you Philip for inspiring and sharing your creativity with us. Your videos are terrific!

[@PhilipVanDusen]

Thanks Charlie!

[@tillustrator]

Your trend videos are always a pleasure for my young designer eyes - thank you so much, Philip!!

[@PhilipVanDusen]

Thanks T!

[@harryreafor]

Finally, the trend video of the year

[@PhilipVanDusen]

I do my best….and I never look at other peoples trend videos because I don’t want to be influenced!

[@iahorvath]

Cool, fun trends. Always glad to see your vlogs! Thanks for sharing Philip!

[@PhilipVanDusen]

You’re very welcome! Thanks for watching again!

[@illagraphixs]

Thanks for the video! Your trends are spot on, hard not to mention Activism and Ai.

[@PhilipVanDusen]

I agree…the whole presentation should be variations of AI application.

[@raduconst]

Thank you for the inspiration, Philip. A pleasure to watch, as always.

[@PhilipVanDusen]

So nice of you!

[@Miltersen]

Love this series. Every year I get so inspired and excited by it. Thank you Philip.

[@PhilipVanDusen]

Great to hear! Thanks for coming back year after year!

[@BrianKlassen-tg6nd]

Really appreciate these videos and like how you identify where they can be used. Our shop takes not only those into account but also (I'm sure you would agree) the personality/brand of the client.

[@grandson62]

I was expecting this post for a bit. Thank you. You always be a trend.

[@PhilipVanDusen]

And always will be, if I can help it! LOL..!

[@tonibullo]

Happy new year Phil!! From Italy

[@themysteriousunknownrevealed]

I absolutely love these videos, you make them fun and informative. AND THE MUSTACHE IS BACK!

[@PhilipVanDusen]

The mustache is trend-right for 2024. I should have mentioned that.😉

[@themysteriousunknownrevealed]

OMG yeeesssssss

[@naomidesigner]

Thank you for your video. It is not the first year I watch your compilation about trends, always very informative.

[@aaronedgeart]

Wondrous... nice to have titles and explanations for some of the great stuff I've been seeing floating 'round me as of late.

[@PhilipVanDusen]

Glad you enjoyed it Aaron.

[@danilodeluxo]

Hey amigo, I really love this TREND content. Really superb and eloquently expressed! Been checking for your yearly GRAPHIC DESIGN TRENDS for many years now. Expert envisioning. THanks Philip!!

[@ognigrazia9271]

Great video! Super helpful for me as an aspiring graphic designer

[@journeyofaconfusedartist]

GREAT direction

[@RobynCoburn]

The usual fascinating trend video. I feel like some of them are similar - maximalism is definitely back.

[@PhilipVanDusen]

So true!

[@tokyorecordstyle]

Dug this video. Tons of cool design insights and appreciate how you articulated them all so clearly. Gonna take some queues here!

[@georgemcduncan5391]

This was very refreshing. Nice to see explanation without an underlying agenda. I'm not a trend setter nor a trend follower. But this helps to make heads or tails of what to expect to see and what it really means when you see it. I'm just my own personal tailor. Thank you for this video. Sometimes algorithms do good. :)

[@PhilipVanDusen]

Yay! Thank you!

[@millie_s_]

Thanks! It's an amazing list

[@PhilipVanDusen]

Glad you like it!

[@michaelbaier2775]

As always, you have unimagined abilities to evaluate trends and that scares me a little. Thank you very much for your vision

[@PhilipVanDusen]

I appreciate that! I've had 30 years of professional trend hunting experience (creds in video description) - so I'm glad it shows.

[@sustainabilityaxis]

A very comprehensive overview. Keep up your good work

[@PhilipVanDusen]

Great video - even better stache!!

[@PhilipVanDusen]

Glad you think so 😎

[@GET2222]

3: Anarchist - This spawned from the Cranbrook School of Design by P. Scott Makela, who created the identity for Fight Club in the mid-nineties. Scott also created the very first digital catalog for the Minneapolis College of Art and Design (M.C.A.D.) using only digital photography in 1993 with direct-to-plate technology. M.C.A.D. refined this process by Professor Jan Jancourt and led student, Alex Tylevich who went on to deliver campaigns such as the silhouette IPOD campaign, analog Toyota commercials, FIGHT CLUB Credits, Nine inch nails videos and Marilyn Manson. Thirst design out of Chicago with Rick Valicente was also a huge influence in a jazz-infused imagery and type foundation. ALL OF IT SHOULD BE READable. If it isn't, these are kids imitating something they don't quite understand. This movement started in 1991-1992 and shaped the music scene and MTV of the 90s. Direct to plate eliminated film, the darkroom, and rubylith and shrank the prepress department considerably by exposing designers to overlapping 3D type, which the world had never seen. RIP P. Scott Makela... Scott changed the world of design for everyone.

[@PhilipVanDusen]

Thanks @GET2222! Love this.

[@FOTOJADAMOstudio]

There were at least 5 trends that I've already experimented with 10 years ago, one of which was my signature look in 2012 during my Comeback Era. They were made out of a lack of professional software and only having a basic Photoshop Elements at my disposal.

[@graphiwhisper]

thank you Sir!❤

[@PhilipVanDusen]

Most welcome!

[@Bionicleman619]

What do you think about the lime green trend like your glasses? I’ve noticed it a lot. I have bright green Asis shoes 💚

[@PhilipVanDusen]

My brand color has been chartreuse since I launched my agency in 2016. So I'm glad it is finally getting it's fair due!

[@FreeHindiAdvice]

Very nice video :)

[@ChristyCouture]

Great Content, Keep up the good work

[@PhilipVanDusen]

Thanks, will do! A yearly labor of love.

[@Jamestrus1]

Great instructional. Going to forward this to my print girl, who owns an output shop!

[@PhilipVanDusen]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@jhondonky5547]

very true, I see a lot of these same trends in the motion design industry

[@CatalinGulan]

As every almost end of the year, the best presentation of the Graphic Design Trends for the coming year, only here on your channel Philip. Big big thank you for all you do and your entire work for the community.❤

Thanks Catalin! I appreciate your coming back every year. It’s a labor of love.

The outro music needs to watch a video about sound design trends. :)

[@PhilipVanDusen]

Hey, at least you watched to the end...I'll see what I can do. The problem is YT is always changing their licensing agreements so the fact that this (old) track passes the AI filters is why I keep it.

[@microstockdesing]

Nice to video

[@PhilipVanDusen]

Thanks a lot

Go to DesignCuts

[@catarinasofia2850]

No joke, I am inspired

[@PhilipVanDusen]

[@paullenoue8173]

One trend I've noticed is graphic designers using AI Art (Midjourney, DALL-E, etc.) to get ideas. They throw concepts at the AI then look over results until they think "Yeah, I can make that one so much better!"

[@PhilipVanDusen]

Interesting

[@JavierDiez]

I have the feeling I need to watch this video several times.

[@sub-jec-tiv]

In other words, we’re back to the graphic design trends of 1995 😉

[@PhilipVanDusen]

LOL> The one thing I’ve learned is that trends are never limited to specific periods of time and are very fluid in how they appear. Trends are revisited, altered, revised - new perspectives are added - they disappear and then they come back over and over (particularly in the fashion industry) (Russian Constructivism - 100 years old - never really goes away).

[@imagicarolina]

Love it

Hi Philip, always liked you're trends you find for the next year. Also Hello CIT class of 2024! Listen to Brett he has a wealth of knowledge.

[@lauralong6695]

Trend number two- activism--is so spot on. I think of all the beautiful and enduring slogans and images of the 60’s and how they informed a whole generation. Let’s do it again ✊🏾✊🏻

[@PhilipVanDusen]

Absolutely. That’s why I put that trend up front…it’s important.

[@subgrafik]

Damn Im good almost in all 2024s trends - all the best! PS need to practice more vibrant colors

[@PhilipVanDusen]

Thanks for subbing😎

[@arronb7423]

Interesting. Thank you. On the last bit, the last two corporation's marketing departments I've worked at forbid the use of any AI in art or writing. Legal deemed that it's a potential high risk (at least at this time).

[@PhilipVanDusen]

That's very true. Adobe is the first company so far to offer legal indemnification for images that its generative AI creates. But undoubtedly others will follow. I just consulted with a enterprise-level company on the applications of AI at a corporate level and told them that very thing.

[@GottMitUns49]

You're soo cool

[@PhilipVanDusen]

No, YOU are!

[@imanfrancisco]

Can you give an ai application that can be used/assimilated for editorial illustration?

[@matthewsmith1547]

These trends tend to go against everything we know about good design layout?

[@PhilipVanDusen]

Often times, yes. Many try to be different and shocking often in an ugly way to cut through the noise. I’m not advocating for it, just sharing what’s happening.

[@SomewhatAbnormal]

Maximalism reminds me of the design breakthroughs from Raygun Magazine.

[@michaelmayrend313]

And your t-shirt seems to represent two, and maybe three, of the four trends identified.

[@PhilipVanDusen]

What can I say, I'm a trendy guy...😉

[@skepticon9390]

An interesting viewpoint; especially with the creative new definitions of styles that have coexisted for well over sixty years. While I might find the title somewhat misleading, you do especially well in categorizing these iconic styles; carefully redefining how they are best applied based on modern societal and cultural trends. Your studied observations are notable, and are a worthy addition to any creative designer’s knowledge and understanding of how best to reimagine relevant thematic styles based on modern interpretation. Well done!

[@esdesign95]

The design trend is very strange and interesting

[@PhilipVanDusen]

Thanks @esdesign95!

[@sircacu]

and doodling? i see a lot of designer make this amazing projects

[@ConstantGardener-q9q]

I thought publishers are rejecting AI illustrations because AI cannot be copyrighted. Therefore, the artist cannot convey limited copyright use to the publishers. Can you go more into this?

[@alonsohv]

There's no way you missed the tribal & Y2K movements 😭

[@detinus]

I think most can agree that flaired fonts must never be a trend.

[@PhilipVanDusen]

Lololol

[@pierrebecho2797]

Chester V ?

[@lakshmangarapati5524]

Will graphic designers have job's in market bcz of AI?

[@PhilipVanDusen]

That's truly the $64,000 question. My money is on 'yes' TBH.

[@WolfxxBite]

Just start marketing yourself as an "A.I. Specialist/Designer" lol
