Graphic Design Ideas: 5 Poster Styles Perfect for 2024
Graphic design trends change almost every year as new ideas replace the current ones, while old themes sometimes return for another hurrah in the designing community.

That is also why it can get a bit hard following all these trends every time.
To help with that, here are just some cool graphic ideas to introduce in 2024 and some old ones resurfacing back to the trends after a long hiatus:
Taking inspiration from classic Japanese and mixing it with sleek techno designs of the late 2010s, Japonismo uses colorful one-toned colors as the base with much paler images in the front.
This makes the image pop up more and controls where the viewer will focus their eyes. The style began being popularized in late 2023 but hit its peak early this year.
AI-Powered
The introduction of Adobe to AI-generated fill has fully changed the graphic design community, whether for good or not.
Despite its name, AI-powered designs are not exactly generated by AI alone.
The design uses similar methods in regular asset-filled designs but via AI generation rather than sourced from the internet or drawn by hand.
Reeded Glass Effect

Sweeping outside tech marketing campaigns, the reeded glass effect has become popular for people wanting to return to more simplistic design while still maintaining a modern feel to it.
The design features a subject partially covered by a reeded glass, slightly reflecting or blurring their features to create a distorting effect without major changes.
Iridescent or lighter colors are the usual companions of this design to make the front subject pop up more.
Bento Box Design
Space is important in graphic design. One of the popular design trends last year, Maximalism, utilized this graphic design element by filling the whole screen with designs and assets.
The Bento Box design takes a similar stance but without overcrowding the canvas.
The design fit in as many as many assets and letters in each separate box and arrange them by order of priority, just like a real bento box.
The design is popular in companies as it allows them to show as much information as possible in a much more concise way.
2000s 3D Graphics

The time of 3D graphics is not over, this time it is taking more inspiration from the original 3D designs used in the early internet era in the 1990s and 2000s.
The design uses various vibrant colors with letters embossed sideways.
Like previous 3D graphic trends in the past year, the design has a sleek metallic-like sheen to it, while the background is plain-colored.
