Before we learn the lessons about creating a logo and developing a website, it is vital to understand which graphic design you will implement across all platforms and marketing materials such as social media channels, a company presentation, a business card, etc.
Let’s have a look together at the four graphic design trends that will be remarkably popular in 2021:
Austere Romanticism
Austere Romanticism is not just about rural aesthetics – it is far from it. It is an idealized, high-brow view of what it might like to live in the land, on a farm, or in a cottage in the woods.
Vintage Vaporwave
Vintage Vaporwave forays into new territory with a visual vocabulary replete with early-Internet comparisons and aesthetic tropes from the 1990s. The appearance of this movement is highly dependent on social media’s pace and ubiquity, as well as the evolution of digital technologies that users are now actively using — for example, stickers in social media applications.
Psych Out
Despite its close ties to the psychedelic 1970s and Art Nouveau, this style movement is more than just a nostalgic journey. Instead, it’s a heady concoction of old and modern.
Back to Bauhaus
Back to Bauhaus represents a clear return to interest in art, especially graphic design craft. In digital and 3D modeling, we see smooth, formal compositions, clear, dramatic shadows, and geometric forms.

Hey Ekaterina! This is an extremely helpful blog post, thank you! How would you incorporate these trends in a corporate Instagram feed and in stories / story highlights?
Dear Olivier,
Thank you very much for your feedback and the question! The way you incorporate these trends is to have a united vision for all Instagram: stories, feed, highlights etc. Before choosing any design, think about what your company represents, what values you share, what product you sell.
Best regards,
