Adobe has identified six
visual design trends for 2018. They are: Silence and Solitude; The fluid self; Multilocalism; Creative Reality; History and Memory and Touch and Tactility. In each of these areas they have created a gallery of Adobe Stock Photos that illustrate the concepts.
To give brands and creatives a window into our visual culture, Adobe tracked the visual conversation around the world – from shows and galleries to brand campaigns – to uncover the most impactful visual trends to watch for in 2018.
Rather than just a simple snapshot into what people are interested in at the moment, this trend forecast is designed to look at where we are as a culture, and as a global community, so we can really understand what makes an image resonate.
With supporting data, Adobe Stock released six predictions for impactful design in 2018 and will continue to dive deeper into each trend throughout the year.
