2025 Graphic Design Trends You Should Know

[@Kittldesign]

Which of these trends do you like most? (And what other trends are you predicting?) 👇

[@evilrose412]

I like the trend of giving me back my AI credits to what they were? How can you guys change 900 plan for 200 credits and call it an UPGRADE?! I have no words.

[@stephaniebell5780]

I like the minimalistic one and the scrap booking trend...polar opposite lol

[@ForeverSunsetsBtq]

minimalistic and the doodles look fun. Thanks for posting this! It gives me some great ideas!

[@SteveMenardDesignDXM]

I agree. I've been a professional graphic designer since the late 1980's, so I've pretty well seen it all.

[@Kittldesign]

Now we get to see how people mix and match them!

[@simtiaz111]

Do u have any youtube channel

[@SteveMenardDesignDXM]

@@simtiaz111 No I do not. Perhaps I should! That'll be a 2025 project.

I love this. I’m a luxe shopper and love high quality goods. However, high quality doesn’t mean it needs to be high priced. I always go for *suluxy* , their quality is great. Great video.

[@fammue]

My mom, who is a seamstress for men's clothing, says, its the same with all the clothing. It all comes and goes, and comes back. So keep your granny's clothes because you will be posh again wearing them at some point of fashion timeline! 😁 The Bible has a similar proverb: there is nothing new under the sun. 🤷‍♀️

[@RONNIETECH-GRAPHICS]

As a Designer, been seeing all of these, admiring them, but not knowing their use, I must admit. Thanks for the video

Such a great video to remind us that trends come and go. Minimalism, for example, isn’t new, we’ve seen it before. But that’s the essence of trends! They change with time, yet the core ideas often stay the same. Amazing video :)

You're so welcome!

I entered the graphic design industry a year ago, and your video got me so existed to continue learning and also to pay attention to the context behind a visual style and the use that can be made of it. Graphic design is definitely more than just "pretty things" and this it why I am so happy that I have made a career change Thank you for this video 😊😊

We're so excited to hear that here to help you in any way that we can! We'll posting a lot more videos on graphic design topics soon!

[@timdesignsincolorado]

Super cool to see collage coming back along with a rough doodle style. It opens the doors for us non-illustrators and knocks down some walls. With the advancement of AI, I think people are craving a hand-done style, and this will only grow as time goes on.

I was trying to figure out why my spirit resonated with you at the go of this video-which by the way is stellar! When you showed your book "Creativity In The Church!" I was like wow! That's why! I want you to know how much your spirit shines through when you are presenting. Just from a few things you mentioned about typography - I had to stop the video and go jot some things down that just bubbled up from listening and watching you talk. I have been taking in this video in 5 minute increments because it's so cool! A delight for the senses! Thank you for the passion that you bring to your work. And now that I have seen your book I have to go and buy it! Thanks Drew!

[@Write-or-Wrong]

Man, I hate it. Kittl was my favorite AI platform to design with, but with the upcoming credit change, there's not enough value to justify a subscription. Reducing our credits by 75"% while maintaining the same price is nuts

[@Kittldesign]

Thanks for sharing your feedback again. We understand the concern and frustration about the change in credit structure, although we do believe our monthly structure will truly free designers up to use their credits as they need instead of being blocked by a daily limitation. In addition, we have some upcoming news in regards to all of the feedback we've received, and we would appreciate if you check out our update next week. Cheers.

[@Write-or-Wrong]

@@KittldesignIs the update the email you just sent out saying that you're going to give us a one time bundle of credits to ease the transition? If so, no thanks. It's just a bandaid to the fact that you are outright disregarding your paying customers in favor of making more money.

[@Kittldesign]

@@Write-or-Wrong Yes. We aren't disregarding our customers. We are also not basing the overall value of Kittl on AI Art generation, as there are so many other benefits to Kittl as a design tool. We do believe that our bundle of credit provision is a great way to provide our users with more credits to use, which will not expire until late next year. There is also explanation within the email on how the decision was made. Our hopes are to continue finding new ways to improve the AI systems in the future to allow even more generation for everyone. Thanks again for the comment.

[@jenniferpittman8981]

​@@Kittldesign Late next year? My email said they would expire on June 1, 2025? I use all of my credits every single day. I primarily use Kittl for the AI generation. This is a deal breaker for me, as well as many of the other designers I have spoken with. The fact of the matter is that you are reducing what I primarily use your service for by 75% and still charging me the same price.

[@darcdemon]

@@jenniferpittman8981 "Our previous daily system revealed that around 12% of our users were hitting their daily credit limits regularly. Kittl’s mission is to remove friction from graphic design, and that’s why, in line with our commitment, we decided to move to a more flexible monthly model." This is their explanation, so basically they see that users are using all their daily credits, so are instead giving them less monthly credits. Make it make sense.

That's great. Thanks for the inspiration. I have a question, how does a design become a trend?

[@Kittldesign]

Most welcome! Often we relate trends to commonly and frequently used designs that we see over a series of months. If a design style is being used frequently and picked up by multiple audiences, then it can be considered a trend.

[@JP-ek7hb]

The surrealism trend also reminds me of the visual component of Dadaism. They share that irrationally and absurdism vibe with the use of mix/match collaging. Of course, the current trend is the digital version of it. I think the doodle trend is the manifestation of the "Ignorant" tattoo style that became popular in the US during lockdown and immediately after. It has reached into graphic arts

[@Kittldesign]

Interesting insights! Yes, we like to call the doodle trend "naive illustration" because you can still make out what the doodles are, but there are very basic in structure.

[@AdisAhmetasevic-u8l]

Things might have been seen but you put them into nowadays context and use new tools like changing them to 3d or motion

[@Kittldesign]

For sure! There's always a new spin on something.

[@ozlemjane]

Where can I find this kind of images for using on some collage ??

[@Kittldesign]

Hey there! On the templates page in Kittl, you can actually type in keywords like collage, or vision board, or mood board, or scrapbook and you'll find a ton of great stuff!

[@shantdolbakian]

I love the text you made for the thumbnail!! Is each letter a different font? Crazy question but could you share the design file? :)

[@Kittldesign]

It's one font! In Kittl, search "Brice" and you'll see it come up. Another fun one is "Tinsel Twinkle." Have fun designing!

[@doronrosstuvia3489]

I’m surprised these are considered 2025 trends since they seem like trends I’ve seen a lot the past couple of years. These trend have a very corporatized folk summer look. Like 2025 is the year of Burning Man.

[@Kittldesign]

Hey there. This is why we mentioned in the beginning of the video that trends come and go, and are commonly recycled. These are predictions based on what we've seen and researched using keyword tools, sales data, and talking to designers. :)

I’m new to design so I’m sorry if this is a dumb question. If I see something online that I like how do I find out what design style it is? I’ve found a few online but I never seem to be able to figure out what the style is called.

[@Kittldesign]

Great question! Oftentimes, videos like this one can help you formulate search terms that you can go and try on sites like Pinterest. We like Pinterest as a search tool for finding different design styles. Some of it is trial and error though, and you have to try combinations of words to find the style you like.

@@Kittldesign This one? "Free Users: 20 one-time AI credits, as before Pro Users: 200 AI credits per month Expert Users: 600 AI credits per month one-time package of additional credits for all our subscribers." Currently on a pro package you get 10,950 credits a year the expert package gets 29,200 credits a year. The new package for pro is 2400 credits a year and expert 7200 credits a year and you are acting like it is a good thing. If it has changed again then I have not seen any info that is different, losing either 8,550 or 22,000 credits a year is not a win however hard you try to sell it. Throwing in 600 extra credits? I lost 8,550 credits and I am meant to jump with joy at your generosity of giving me 600 credits, don't think so. Once my subscription runs out I will be jumping ship.
