The face of design is always changing. What looks cutting-edge and on-trend one day could look dated and out-of-touch the next.

But what exactly are those design trends going to be in 2020?

Thomas Edison once said “Vision without execution is hallucination.” This statement applies not just to invention, but to graphic design. One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.
