2023 Visual Trends

Keeping our design inspiration cool and relevant is key to bringing modern brands to life. We collect and curate the visual trends we find and create our quick-takes here and on Instagram. Check back throughout the year as we add our 2023 Visual Trends to the list - each one comes as a downloadable 1-page PDF.

Synthography

Synthography - or faux-tography, AI generated images that mimic photography - is currently used for visual exploration in fashion, brand design and packaging as a tool to build inspiration, excitement, and a pipeline of mock-up ideas. See the full trend here.

Monogrid

Organized, geometric, and clean, monogrid and monoline illustration utilizes a single, consistent width outline with a flat, solid fill. The style originates from art deco and minimalist histories but feels so modern. Download here.

The New Retro

Taking reminiscing to the next level, these brands are banking on new-stalgia and romanticization for a time before. Download the trend and see the fonts, type, illustration and pattern of yesteryear brought forward in a new way.

Big Type

Brand design minimalists applaud as chunky type takes over! Large, loud logos cover the whole front of pack and beyond, enough in some cases to become almost abstract marks. See the latest visual trend here.
