The low poly design style is another trend that will come into its own in 2018. Combine it with daring colors and you’ll have a bold background that can highlight or complement your graphic image or content. Combine with other design techniques like duotones, hand-drawn shapes, and 3D composition, and low poly design can help transform your designs into something that’s modern-looking and new.

Double exposure and duotones are old reliables but in 2018, expect more: combine both styles and you’ll get a whole new technique that is expected to blow up in coming season and in 2018: Double Exposure Duotone.

Double Color Light is a design composition technique that takes a photo or graphic image and applying color channel splitting to it. This creates a new and more stylish look. Expect this technique to become more popular beginning this season and in 2018.

Double exposure continues to be a well-loved design technique with awesome results. The same can’t be said for duotone, however. It will live on combined with other styles, but no longer as a standalone technique.
