In 2019, you can expect to see plenty of digital and graphic design elements that
create a sense of order, beauty, and self-awareness. Jarring colors become harmonious

in tiled patterns and modern collages, exaggerated proportions make for delightful and
inclusive illustrations, and glitches become an aesthetic all their own.

Like many trends across all branches, digital design in 2019 will feature a
healthy dose of both nostalgia and futurism. With retro influences from brutalism,

cubism, and abstract art, the design trends of 2019 are reinventing some of the most
aggressively disruptive aesthetic movements of the past to create a bold and colorful

vision for the digital future.
