one hot an emerging graphic design trend
of 2020 is a modernisation and
innovation of typography
in graphic design now simply put you're
gonna see a whole lot more of typography
being used in very interesting ways this
year I'm going to give you the rundown
of some of these uses and I was actually
going to be a test at the very end of
the video so do follow along and absorb
the topography goodness in today's video
now typography is a huge part of graphic
design and I've said it before many
times on this channel and in fact
typography is a graphic design principle
innovate zone so what is the big fuss in
2020 there actually are a few sectors of
typography that will become and have
already become trends within the graphic
design world for 2020 so the first a
typography trend is the usage of thicker
and bold fonts brands are starting to
incorporate bold sans-serif fonts to
modernize the graphic designs you will
also see them on posters on web designs
and even on package design too now in
attempting to use bold and heavy fonts
for your graphic designs it's crucial to
first select the right font family take
a quick look at elrond for example it
has a couple of pretty heavy fonts in
the font family the black and the heavy
options being most notable we're
actually applying the font to the
graphic designs there are two good rules
that you need to keep in mind now
firstly try to keep the super heavy
fonts for short phrases or just a few
simple words only overcrowding your
design with too much heavy typography
can be off-putting secondly add in some
thinner typography for contrast and this
will balance your design out to make it
more visually appealing also the heavy
use of typography can act as a focal
point and draw in a viewer as a visual
starting point on your design
another use of typography that you will
see is a graphic design trend more in
2020 is innovation of typography being
used to create 2d and 3d shapes and this
is innovation of design and it isn't
something new as such but the use of it
becoming more and more popular is
something new for the 21st century
the use of typography in terms of
creating shapes and design elements can
be very effective
however like with any design you really
need to make sure the design fits the
message of the brief so don't go and
simply make a cube of text just because
it looks cool there are many things you
can do typography in terms of shape a
semi shuttle and some are really bold or
imposing but make sure to adhere to the
other design principles while
incorporating this trend so use things
like balance focal points contrast the
so forth but yeah the brief is really
important in every graphic design
projects that you embark on so the third
use of typography set a trend in 2020 is
maxy typography now this actually has
been a trend for 2019 and also a little
bit back in 2018 as well but it is going
to bleed over to 2022 pun intended
now maxi typography sort of links into
the first edition in this video as it
involves bold and heavy phone use maxi
is the use of typography that is so bold
and heavy that is sometimes bleeds off
the page and it really takes the center
stage as a focal points sometimes other
design elements will obscure parts of
the lettering giving it more intrigue
and interest the bold use of typography
is often also flat with maxi type so
that means no gradients or 3d text when
concerning maxi typography maxi type is
also about getting the message across in
the boldest and the most
attention-seeking way possible
now before the test we have one more
aspect of topography that is set to
train in 2020 and that is a semi
transparent user type on a graphic
design and this is something I've
dabbled in myself over the years so it's
nice this here becomes some popular this
year using semi transparent ibaka fee is
a good choice for typography being
placed over a fairly busy design or an
image the typography effectively blends
a composition and at the same time stays
a significant element of the whole
design now it's a nice way just to tie
everything together and again a choice
of bold font here is always a good move
