[@abhinavgarlapati8373]

Love it!! I think 2024 will be a lot of maximalism and designs will get crowded. I do love Neo Brutalism.

These past couple of years have been hard on everyone and it feels like creativity in graphic design is skyrocketing is a lot of different directions so we can cope with life lmao, I absolutely love a lot of these trends 🔥

[@otisrbaker]

The 90’s rebellion was awesome. Nineties grunge

[@faristranger]

Thank you for updating us and mos of the trends I already using right away but some are totally new for me thanksa lot, ay lord God belss you

[@exegesis67]

The thing I think you need to have in mind with reviews like this is that these trends bear little or no relation to the everyday output of most GDs, at least the ones I know. The room to introduce these ideas into our work is extremely limited. That said, it is still good to see what’s groovy and take inspiration where you can.

[@akumtuar]

Some of the design, somewhat evokes the Geocities vibe, I really like it.

[@Dan-gj3fg]

this is such a well made video, i was surprised to realize that this is a small channel

[@CreativeDirectorExplains]

That's very kind of you to say, I really appreicate the love 🙏

[@RandomChessTalk]

I'm blown away by people's creativity just by the stuff seen in this video!

[@CreativeDirectorExplains]

Right? So much inspiration!

[@Motions_AP]

By Far the most on point explanations of the coming 2024 trends. I've definitely noticed art deco colliding with 90's acid grunge and it is wild. Makes sense given art deco's popularity in the 80's, quickly ramping up towards the rebellious techno rave and grunge rock scenes of the late 80's early 90's Definitely potential for an unseen genre blending the two

[@PedroPascoaPedro]

Can't wait for this creative director to teach me all about these trenos

[@TeamRedendron]

I think the brutalism sequence is going to be my mood board for my website

[@bradholmes1832]

Many Thanks! I Love your flowing, in dept and creative presentation! Cheers, Brad H

[@mariejae92]

Love brutalism for a very long time ❤ lovely video and greatly explained !

[@MrSignSolutions]

We are at an era of unlimited options and abilities to create so all please enjoy what you do to expand your careers

[@jordan-cuellar]

Great insights! I feel like all trends are just old trends, but reimagined and combined with others, which is super cool.

[@thewebstylist]

Artificial Surrealism!! 🎉

[@sanniametu6187]

Amazing!!!!! Seems minimalism is taking a deep haha

[@WHOSBROKEBOIPROD]

I am a filmmaker just as much as a designer for my artwork and clothing so seeing these elements from a design aspect is really gunna interest me in what I need to learn and progress at with my film work.

[@anayvy]

Yay! Love to see my font in your trend previews 🥰

[@WHOSBROKEBOIPROD]

Watching this video just broadened my designer mind so much! Def know what to study and make my own for the new year in design!

[@tabypetre4125]

LOVED the examples you used for each trend

[@CreativeDirectorExplains]

Thank you so much!

[@cor_tap_hat]

Thanks for sharing! Thank you so much!!

[@CreativeDirectorExplains]

You are so welcome!

[@aimiliosgkalipis3694]

Hey. Nice collection. Love the style of your videos.

[@Surimi888]

Great video! Agree on all points. I'm not a huge art deco stan *cue flashbacks to the endless number of great gatsby parties we all endured in the 2010's* but looking forward to see how all of these trends grow over 2024. As you mentioned, I'm eager to see a more refined evolution of AI art and its incorporation into design workflows. I integrate a lot of animation and videography into my designs, and I'm hopeful that the vector graphic explainer video aesthetic as we know it will die and something new will grow from it.

[@MoreCreativeGFX]

I love Neo-Brutalism & Utilitarian

[@zalanahara270]

Nice. Thank you for the content. Very helpful. I fall in the neo classical trend but cant find much on it

[@awaishameed2163]

It was an amazing & interesting video. Thanks for sharing it. Can you please share that bubble font that you used in the thumbnail title in TRENDS?

[@CreativeDirectorExplains]

Thank you so much :) It’s called Kelsi - I put a link to it in the description box of my most recent fonts video.

[@royalsupplybrnd]

I need more info on the Neo classical style. It's so nice

[@iMakeVideos_kz]

I wonder is it ok to Mix these styles?

[@Ampoulia]

Really cool 2024 terends

[@bluehorizon17]

Beautiful! Subscribed ✅

[@victordelacruz8440]

Halftone elements too ❤

[@ThePitchitPodcast]

Thanks enjoyed.

[@stillremain.artwork]

Amazing video! Note for the editor: mute the breathing parts, it will sound way more polished and more professional 👌 Fresh subscriber here ♥

[@CreativeDirectorExplains]

Ah thank you so much for the great feedback! Will adjust in the next video 🙏

[@designwdickens]

I'm loving these trends. More especially the 90s grunge & the vintage aesthetics. Can't wait to begin experimenting with these styles. Also, I just came across your channel and like what you're doing. You've gained a new suby!

[@samy_loewe]

Great video, very interesting to watch!😊

[@CreativeDirectorExplains]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ÂngeloMigueldaSilva]

Art Deco

[@alice3508]

Is it a remake (copy?) of Matt Thorne video 18 Graphic Design Trends 2024 [Explained] ? It is a lot of similar examples, even the script sounds quite the same..

[@TheSUPERWIND2023]

For once in a decade, I'm happy where design is going.

[@demetri1]

Love this!!

[@InFellowShip]

But how do you, as a web designer, combine a graphic design trend with the client's brand guideline? Colours and shapes come together, and I can't figure out how to find the intersection between them all.

[@ThorTyrker]

When "journey back in time" does not mean the 80's but the 2000's, I certainly feel like a dinosaur :)

[@CreativeDirectorExplains]

I felt the same 😅

[@derek-yap]

This is great thank you! I'm not a graphic designer, but I pretend to be one in my free time ✌

[@BBair93]

Same here!

[@kenlowell9862]

All and all, I feel like if you take this list in it's entirety what it shows is that anything goes. I mean... if these are trends, what's no longer a trend? This was a pretty exhaustive list.

[@Neptoid]

What I hate about these trend analyses/predictions is that they talk about my styles while hand waving the influences and not relating to why we love the styles in the first place. I mean could you imagine one of these channels ever explaining Liminal Spaces? Well they should be capable of doing that

[@weholdparties]

Did you even watch it? They very clearly explained the source of each trend, the elements that comprise it, and why they’re popular.

[@tvinenko5284]

thx a lot

[@CreativeDirectorExplains]

You're welcome!

[@AshutoshKanaujia]

What about the brands with strict brand guidelines on typography and brand colours? How can we use these trends to keep the brand identity?

[@CreativeDirectorExplains]

This is a great question. I think it’s important for designers to identify mediums where the brand needs to be a bit flexible (eg; social media) and then identify what’s right for them in those spaces. Another thing I like to do is find the ways I can stay within the guidelines but shift the feel of the piece. For example, if I’m making a video spot - the text and logo can all remain the same, but the underlying feel might come through in other ways. That’s always a fun space to play in.

[@flowsy5294]

Yeah, Y2K is coming back in a way. Alot of superstar music artists are incorporating it into their Music Videos and Look.

[@CreativeDirectorExplains]

Ya! Big time! It’s fun to see.

[@DraviDravi-it9vc]

Which font is that you have used in this thumbnail

[@CreativeDirectorExplains]

I used “formula condensed” in bold

[@eturnl83]

Art Deco/ Art Nouveau samples def not in step with what is true of those styles. They are well established. The others are pretty loose on interpretation and bleed over into each other in an attempt to give something a name.

[@sadepennbrook]

I can’t pick which I like better, so I’m going to mix it all up into a vomit soup and call it done. ✅

[@mommat1306]

I am a retired art director/designer. This stuff is the same stuff we’ve been doing for eons. The tools change the output stays the same. Nothing new here.

[@CreativeDirectorExplains]

I find it so interesting how everything is cyclical. I personally love when old trends resurface (cough cough 90s fashion). But I do love when the trends come back and overlap and create something new or gets refreshed.

[@socialcreature8518]

Excuse me‼️ Was this a recape on various design style or it was a glimps of upcoming design trend for year 2024-5❓ if yes then it is CONFUSING! what direction designers should CONCENTRATE ❓

[@CreativeDirectorExplains]

Hahaha thanks for your comment, but I dont think designers should necessarily concentrate 100% on being “on trend”. Rather I think it’s helpful for designers to see what’s going on in the trending space to have another tool in their arsenal. Expanding your visual language library, knowing what’s happening, simply adds to your ability to be a flexible creative. Following a trend for the sake of a trend might not be right for your clients.

[@weholdparties]

No offense to you because you’re just calling it as you see it, but these are all the same trends from this year and the year before and the years before that. I think we’d all be just as right to say anything is popular or that we’ve entered into a creative standstill.

[@Nosensei88]

Good take. What is one style that you think is not mainstream but is really underrated in your opinion?

[@weholdparties]

@@Nosensei88 Thank you for asking! Something I'm particularly fond of and would like to see more of is a particular style of naive collage. Ga-Ae and Nicholas Burrows are examples. I think naive illustration/design in general is having a bit of time in the sun (as referenced in this video) I'd just like to see more of it. Especially considering socio-political climates across the world are tenuous, having a bit more irreverence can be refreshing.

[@Mika_Mino]

Все хорошо, но этот скрипучий "модный" голос в конце каждой фразы...

[@yeah-I-know]

why not right up to 2070 while you are at it 😂😂

[@AtomicPixels]

We have one style right now - BOXES AND LETTERS all over diarrhea. Cuz we’re soooo bored of that clean BS. After all we love choosing extremes to fix another extreme (refer to American presidents)

[@CreativeDirectorExplains]

Hahaha the minimalism pendulum is swinging! It’s fun how creative trends shift from one extreme to the other.

[@joshuaiowa2190]

How can you call yourself a true creative when all you do is follow what the next creative is doing? This is bullshit!

[@CreativeDirectorExplains]

Hahaha I love your passion. I do feel it’s important to constantly add to your visual language library as a creative. The more you see and absorb, the more you can pull from when you need to make design decisions for your clients. Following a trend for the sake of following a trend isn’t a great move, but if it works for what your client needs to do then inspiration from other creatives can be a powerful thing. I loved the book “steal like an artist” by Austin Kleon, he did an incredible job at breaking it all down. And I noticed Jesse Nyberg just put out a great video about this too.
