Le blog des tendances design, technologies, architecture, web. NellyRodi. Actus. Design Observer. Graphic design trends of 2014 - The Oxygen Agency. Graphic design trends this year reflect a wish to return to simplicity and a sense of authenticity. The old ‘real world’ skeuomorphic design look with drop shadows, real textures and realistic objects is out, with cleaner, brighter and easier-to-scan web design taking its place. 2014 graphic design trend #1 − Flat design In late 2013 Apple released IOS7 with that came the design aesthetic known as “flat design”. IOS7 sees an operating system that doesn’t use drop shadows or gradients, giving it an updated and clean look.
Apple are seen as a big trendsetter in the design world, which everyone seems to be happy to follow. We think flat design will be seen in almost every piece of design you see this year. Flat design emphasises functionality and ease-of-use over looks. 2014 graphic design trend #2 − Large images The simplicity continues with a trend for large images. 2014 graphic design trend #3 − Parallax scrolling Parallax websites add movement to flat, 2d web-pages.
