💎 Trends to Watch for in 2024

Regular Deadline: January 31, 2024

Like a heady spritz of J’adore (or Opium if you’re really feeling yourself), classic design will always make an impression, but sometimes it pays to hop on the trend train and see what places it can take you. These three top 2024 trends are stunners with staying power.

⚜️ Subtle Typography
Proving that a well-timed whisper can speak volumes, subtle typography pushes back on bolder typefaces and flashy fonts with a delicate flick of the pen. Our 2023 Freelancer Winner Tautier- A Display Typeface by Sihan Wu celebrates Enge Mediaeval-Antigua, a turn-of-the-century 1900s typeface. It’s wonderfully tied to the past and relevant at the same time.

⚜️ Minimalism With Bold Colors
Alex Wang’s DG WELLBEING X DOCGO ON DEMAND took home Indigo Gold in 2023. It’s an exquisite example of minimalism and color, with stark imagery of greyscale pine trees offset with hot turquoise and bright, sunny yellow. The contrast is fab and so fresh.

⚜️ Nature and Sustainability
Reminding us to give a proper shout-out to our mother (Earth), this trend combines exciting textures and patterns with a natural background. Never stodgy and wholly modern, those who succeed at nailing this intricate balance will hit on some great design. Wind River 02 Spa and RUNERMEI formula milk powder are two ace examples.

💎 Trendy, classic, or downright cleverly kooky, we want to see your best work today. Let us celebrate what makes you unique and timeless.
