3-Dimensional Illustrations
There is an idea hidden in almost every old fashioned form and that holds true for this one. It is nothing but a modernized form of mix and match of the old and new 3D concept. Not content with what already existed, the designers have tried to add further elements like depth and realism to the graphics to actually create an effectual illusion. An illusion that smudges the borderline between digital and human worlds facilitating the users to understand what one wants to convey.
The introduction of varied 3-D elements creates an imaginary space that can help the audience time travel to the future. It gives them a chance to witness a manipulative web structure capable of meeting their demands and influencing them to stay connected. One such example is the Kaspersky's project of Earth 2050, which gives the users a realistic view in its thoughts and goals.
Outlining Graphics
There is 50:50 to this one. While you are writing something that needs to be empathized upon like header names, the brand, the website name – the outlining effect or graphics can definitely make it bolder, interactive, alluring and be food for thought for few. With just outlines doing it for you, the visible half text and the other half being erased gives a feeling of dominance and revolution that the brand can bring.
The outlined style is striking the chord, the one that cannot be ignored, even by the busiest eyes. There is a hidden charisma in such shapes, that tempts the mind to evaluate what’s written, automatically giving birth to a curiosity of discovering the business further.

Illustrations of Thoughts in Abstract Style

How about giving your thoughts an abstract style to illustrate the ideas that are more expressive and allusive pieces across the web? This abstract way of illustrating the ideas and thoughts is picking up the pace with more and more creative potential being displayed by the designers.
So it is time to replace flat styles of expressing your thoughts and purpose with designs inclined towards more abstract styles. Leave behind straightforward illustrations and deploy something that is more fascinating, luring and creative to share with the world, Your Ideas, the and Thoughts!
Bold Typography
