What graphic design trends have been on the rise lately? How has it influenced personal branding?

In this episode, I’d like to share with you the top graphic design trends of 2022. As we enter a new year, here are some of the creative movements to keep your artistic spirits burning. Take a glimpse into the future of graphic design.

The Designest forecasts more inclusive solutions - but was that ever out of style? User experience is really put first in applying accessible practices, such as audio and closed captioning approaches, readability captioning, alt text for images and way more. This is a high priority to stand out and create a kind and accessible experience.

My personal prediction is that there will be a rise of personal branding. Humanizing connections, designs, and the overall brand experience has come to the forefront of importance throughout the pandemic. People want to feel like they know and can trust you.
