Stap up to date on the latest print design trends for 2022. It includes acid green pops, dark back drops, layered designs and playful textures.
- Layered Photography and Type
Layer up in 2022! While a strictly grid-based approach preaches the separation of orderly elements, you can create more intriguing designs with handwritten scripts over portrait photos. This gives portrait photos informality and effortless cool, while chunkier sans serifs feel more impactful when intimately combined with imagery.
- Colourful Minimalism
Sleek and simple, minimalism is a timeless style, and in 2022 we’ll see minimalist designs embellished with a dash of colour. Whether you use a graphic stripe or colour-pop border, try lifting otherwise simple, monochrome designs with a minimal but no less impactful splash of colour.
- Cyberpunk
With The Matrix Resurrections slated for release at the end of 2021, expect early 2022 to witness a revival of the iconic cyberpunk aesthetic. Consider futuristic, 90s-influenced typography, dark backdrops, and acid green highlights, all with a slightly dystopian edge for your 2022 designs.
- Black and White
2022 is the time to experiment with texture to bring monochrome print designs to life. Try applying a UV gloss to a black design which allows logos and graphics to catch the light, while matte, textured paper stock can bring create depth to simple monochrome stationery or book covers.
- Subtle Gradients
Subtle use of gradients add texture and gentle colour to the background of print media designs. Whilst watercolour effects bring soothing aqueous texture to print designs, making for an ethereal print trend that provides elegance to a range of designs.
