State of affairs of the graphic design in 2024
The field of graphic design is dynamic and has lines fluid to accommodate the new technologies
being developed. The graphic designers abreast themselves with the devices and elements,
which will effectively organize the efficiencies and help in collaboration and adoption of AI and
creativity by 2024.
Given the way that design gets intertwined with functionality in the context of interactive media,
the growing power of the tools will cause the definition of design to evolve even more. The most
natural connection at CICA will occur between graphic design and UI/UX design, 3D modeling
and animation, AR/VR, photography, and videography. The divisions between the disciplines will
dissolve and merge into some very interesting integrated design areas.
Such a dynamic environment also means that if a person wants to remain employable, then
they would have to learn new graphic design skills. But what tools should every designer have
in their toolkits in 2024?
Not only have these 10 tool sets proven to have utility for today’s graphic designers, they also
reveal great promise of growth and development in the future, which makes them essential for
any graphic design professional to have knowledge of within the next two years.
Canva
Canva has done an excellent job of demystifying and popularizing design, especially for those
who aren’t necessarily creative professionals. Looking forward to 2024, I strongly believe that
Canva will continue to introduce new features in designing and editing across every form of
media, especially content created for AR/VR. Its partnerships are also growing deeper, which
makes Canva an entry point to a suite of applications for any design.
Procreate
Procreate has already carved out a reasonable niche as an illustration application of choice for
a legion of iPad fans and followers. Its stunning custom brushes, smooth feel, and clear
structure make digital painting plain and simple—fun. Thus, wide-format Apple tablet displays by
2024 will let make even greater, more capacious ones. Anticipate improvements that might
include A/B symmetry drawing, improvements in the ability to animate objects, and support for
multiple users to work on one project.
Figma
While Figma is browser-based, it takes interface design to the next level because of its real-time collaboration. For a broader branding, graphic design, and presentation requirements, look for more templates of built-in design systems by 2024. The shared design library organization also assists various teams in creating an increased visual cohesion in projects. And wicked-fast prototyping is used to do just that: turn ideas into physical forms as quickly as can be.
Blender
Looking for ways to expand the idea of graphic design? More designers will be using software
such as Blender by 2024 to develop packaging mockups, design physical objects, use
typography in space, and create digital images. A real-time 3D pipeline that has recently
appeared will allow developing and rendering polished graphics in a shorter time.
Spark AR Studio
Why use flat designs when you are able to make augmented reality experiences and effects?
These platforms are big and sticky; they’re great for reaching a broad audience that’s eager to
experience more AR. Better facial tracking, segmentation, and photorealism by 2024 are the
changes that will enable designers to make these effects more profound and transformational.
Vectornator
It becomes cake to make vector graphics on an iPad via Vectornator because the app runs as
smoothly as, or even better than, many desktop applications. With the predictive capability,
more refined text will be achieved along paths and smoothly at multi-stop gradients by 2024.
Plus, new enhanced export options shall assist files to link with more applications within the
design cycle.
Clip Studio Paint
To artists and illustrators, Clip Studio Paint offers a very professional digital art workflow, which
is nostalgic of physical drawing. Custom brushes, pencils, pens, and markers mimic traditional
media very well. Drawing tools are portable, but the iPad versions are even better for on the go
by 2024. They ask for the upgrade of features like the animation walk cycle and multi-page
comics features, all powered by artificial intelligence.
Photoshop Camera
Why capture moments when you can turn moments into stunning, createable, and shareable
moments in one click? For 2024, the probable extension of Photoshop’s legendary photo and
texture research to the Photoshop Camera app is already expected, along with higher levels of
depth detection aspects, scene analysis, and segmentation to enhance that “Wow!” factor even
more.
Creative Cloud Libraries
Specified frustration from folder bombardment will increase dramatically by 2024 due to
exploding demand for visual assets across all formats. CC Libraries does this by cataloging the
assets in the cloud, where it is easy to sort and everyone has access to. Fluent transfer
between 2024 CC apps such as Adobe XD, Dreamweaver, Animate, and Substance 3D will
solve broken workflows.
The Future Is Bright!
You have to see that the digital area as the context for graphic design will become wider, more engaging, and multi-layered by 2024. Don’t listen to the frontiersman in other people; let the frontiersman inside yourself be heard. Choose your tools so you can use them to bring your unique creative vision to life. There are opportunities to simply adapt, make small decisions, and be ready for anything: stay curious and look for innovation!
