Graphic design trends have been dominated by the confluence of events in 2020.

First and foremost of these is the pandemic. We also witnessed the Australian bushfires, a stock market crash, the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement, the arrival of murder hornets here in the U.S, and more.

These events have impacted the way marketers and businesses communicate with customers.

There is a noticeable shift towards inclusion, and brands are working to back up statements with statistics and facts. Bright colors are being used more. Brand memes are popular again.

Graphic design will continue to both draw inspiration from and exert influence over cultural changes. The infographic below from Venngage illustrates the upcoming trends to watch for.
