Design is about telling stories, sparking feelings, and connecting with people. And honestly? Some of the most interesting design we're seeing right now is coming from all corners of the globe. Let's have a talk about some of the trends that are really making us tick.
Basics: Think Scandi sleekness meets Japanese calm.
What it looks like: Clean lines, natural bits and bobs, and colours that make you go "ahhh". It's all about keeping things simple, but still feeling warm and inviting.
Why we love it: It's like a deep breath for your brand. Makes everything feel grounded and peaceful. (Imagine: Logos that are just a few perfect lines, brochures on paper that feels like it came from a tree, and websites with colours that don't shout at you.)
Basics: Think Mexican street art and Colombian energy.
What it looks like: Loads of bright colours, patterns that tell a story, and a real sense of fun.
Why we love it: It's like a shot of espresso for your brand. It's bold, it's memorable, and it's full of life. (Picture: Packaging that jumps off the shelf, social media posts that make you smile, and illustrations that feel like they've been painted by hand.)
Basics: Think Southeast Asian jungles and a love for all things green.
What it looks like: Natural textures, colours that remind you of leaves and earth, and designs that make you feel good.
Why we love it: It's like giving your brand a bit of soul. It's about being real and connecting with the planet. (Think: Websites that use colours like they've been pulled from a woodland, packaging that is made from recycled materials, and images that show off the natural world.)
Basics: Think African artisans and a love for handmade things.
What it looks like: Textures that feel like they've been woven or carved, colours that come from the earth, and designs that have a real story behind them.
Why we love it: It's about supporting real people and their skills. It's about creating things that are unique and meaningful. (Imagine: Logos that look like they've been inspired by tribal patterns, custom fonts that feel like they were carved by hand, and websites that show off real cultural imagery.)
Basics: Think South Korean gadgets and Japanese innovation.
What it looks like: Holographic effects, interactive designs, and a real sense of "what's next?"
Why we love it: It's about pushing boundaries and seeing what's possible. It's about creating experiences that are truly cutting-edge. (Picture: Logos that move and change, websites that let you play around with augmented reality, and adverts that feel like they've come from the future.)
Design is about telling your story, and the best stories are the ones
that feel real. So, let's get inspired by the world around us and make some magic!
