Here’s what we predict is going to be big in design this year 👀
Some were already heating up in 2024, but we see them really taking over in 2025.
Which are you into? Which ones give you the ick? Did we miss something? Let us know below!👇
🟣 Pixel
Pixel-perfect isn’t the goal anymore — pixelated is the goal. Designers are leaning into lo-fi aesthetics, bitmap fonts, chunky pixels, and raw web 1.0 vibes. It’s nostalgic, it’s digital-native, and it totally embraces the glitch.
🖤 Anti-design
Ugly is the new pretty. We’re talking chaotic layouts, clashing colors, broken grids, and type that does what it wants. Anti-design isn’t about being random — it’s rebellion with intent, challenging the polished norm and demanding attention.
🎨 Maximalist illustration
Clean and minimal is out — maximalist illustration is turning up the volume. Expect hyper-detailed, over-the-top drawings that are layered, expressive, and often weird in the best way. It’s all about letting the artwork take over.
🕯 Neo-Gothic
Gothic is getting a modern remix. Think dramatic serif type, moody palettes, ornate motifs, and medieval-inspired elements — but with a sharp, contemporary twist. Dark mode never looked so good.
✨ Art Deco Revival
We’re seeing a return to structured elegance — bold symmetry, geometric patterns, and high-gloss finishes. Art deco is back (again), but this time it’s less Gatsby and more grid-breaking luxury with modern type and color palettes.
📎 Mixed Media
Cut, paste, scan, scribble — mixed media is having a moment. Designers are combining analog textures with digital layers: taped notes, doodles, paper scans, messy type. It feels handmade, imperfect, and refreshingly human.
📱 UI-core
Interface aesthetics are leaking into all kinds of design. Inspired by Windows, iOS, and web dashboards, UI-core is minimalist, neutral, functional — but not boring. Lots of dropdowns, toggles, tabs, and that beautiful system font energy.
🤖 AI Design
Love it or hate it, AI is staying. But designers are moving past just prompting — they’re using AI to remix, prototype, or generate unexpected outcomes. The trend is less about the tool and more about how creatively you can push it.

Meet @angelainthefields, one of the Studio 2am creators and a genuine favourite around here. 🌀❤️
Angela’s work sits right at the intersection of trend forecasting and design. She tracks culture obsessively, sits on obscure Reddits, watches graduate shows, follows companies nobody else is watching, and connects the dots into something you can actually use. The result is assets that feel ahead of the curve rather than chasing it.
Her approach is refreshingly pragmatic too. She’s clear-eyed about the difference between a fleeting Pinterest moment and a real cultural shift, and her work reflects that. Her shop on Studio 2am is full of modern, slightly urban, slightly experimental pieces that always seem to land a few months before everyone else catches on.
Have a browse through her shop, and follow her for the trend reports while you’re at it. Worth it on both counts. @angelainthefields

Meet @angelainthefields, one of the Studio 2am creators and a genuine favourite around here. 🌀❤️
Angela’s work sits right at the intersection of trend forecasting and design. She tracks culture obsessively, sits on obscure Reddits, watches graduate shows, follows companies nobody else is watching, and connects the dots into something you can actually use. The result is assets that feel ahead of the curve rather than chasing it.
Her approach is refreshingly pragmatic too. She’s clear-eyed about the difference between a fleeting Pinterest moment and a real cultural shift, and her work reflects that. Her shop on Studio 2am is full of modern, slightly urban, slightly experimental pieces that always seem to land a few months before everyone else catches on.
Have a browse through her shop, and follow her for the trend reports while you’re at it. Worth it on both counts. @angelainthefields

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
