Design Trends keep changing. What looks trendy and classy one day may look outdated and irrelevant the other day. So, as a designer, if you want your designs to look relevant and stay on top of the game you need to keep tabs on the evolving design trends. 2019 was a breakthrough year for the design, with trends like simple shapes, custom 3D visuals, and isometric design taking over the digital space. We prepare to enter a new decade you may be wondering a list of design trends to look out for in 2020. To find out, Our team at UXKick is constantly analyzing market shifts to identify what’s new and next and have compiled a list of design trends to look out for in 2020. If you are looking out to maximize the performance of your visual, check out the industry shakers that will define the design landscape in the years to come. 1. Inclusive designs: Inclusive designs are focussed at extreme users that are sometimes overseen by other design processes. The primary goal of the inclusive design is to make the product, service or environment more inclusive i.e. the wider diversity of people should be able to easily use. By focusing on extreme users, inclusive designs will enable a specific product, service or environment to be used by any group of users. For Example, while designing a building using inclusive design it is designed in such a way that building is accessible for different groups of disabilities.  According to the Inclusivedesign.scot, The principles of inclusive design are as follows:  Responsive: Taking account of people that say they want and need.Flexible: so different people can use it in different ways.Convenient: so everyone can use it without too much effort.Accommodating: for all people regardless of their age, gender, mobility, ethnicity or circumstances.Welcoming: with no disabling barriers that might exclude some barriers.Realistic: more than one solution to help balance everyone’s needs and recognizing one solution may not work for all.

2. Monochrome Illustrations: The resurgent color schemes were popular in 2018 and the severity of interfaces was chosen by the product-based companies, emphasizing the elitism and high-quality nature of their product. This year we saw an increase of monochromatic color effect on pictures across the industry by various graphic designers, Following year Monochromatic illustration of simplified versions will emerge as a trend.  3. Custom Typography: No matter which industry you are in, Already the space is too cluttered with competition to grab your customer's attention. A custom approach to Typography will take a backseat yielding to expensive font licensing. In 2020 most of the global brands and SMBs will invest in custom typography to help them stand out in the crowd and at the same time save the expensive license fees. Just before designing the custom typography, make sure the typography strongly depicts your business and brand.

4. Textured 3D design: 2019 has seen the rise of 3D designs and certainly this trend will see upward usage in the coming years. The three-dimensional method is expected to advance by adding a layer of realism in textural experimentation. Textures are the flat images that are applied to a model to give it color and detail rather than them being blank and boring. In 2020, we will be seeing a way better three-dimensional graphic design composition.

5. Simplified Illustrations: When it comes to graphic designs, The simplified illustrations is a  top choice as it gives a designer to incorporate ideas, concepts to communicate a message through illustrations in their designs in a very befitting manner. In 2020, we can expect to see more and more custom made and simplified illustrations to become one of the key ways brands communicate their identity. This design may look oversimplified and sketchy. 

6. Geometric Designs: Geometric designs involve the representation of free form curves, surfaces or volumes and are related to Geometric modeling. Any designer (UX, Graphic, UI, Visual) will be able to relate the artwork created to basic geometric shapes. These basic shapes may look simple but require a lot of work in order to recreate composition that passes the right meaning to his observant. Since all the designers are aiming at simplicity in the designs, The year 2020 will be seen a lot of upward trends of geometric designs.

7. Realistic Textures: The patterns and textures dominated were faded into the background when flat design ruled the design word. After several years of ethereal gradients and impossibly smooth isometric objects dominating the world of design, Realistic textures are making a come back. With grains and contours that make anyone want to reach out and touch them, In 2020 the realistic texture trend will see a huge potential for experimental design.
