We also believe that there will be a shift in the number of creators who will become art directors. This desire to have more control over the creative process is leading individuals to take the lead more. It\u2019s been found that the main motivation for becoming a solopreneur is<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/swlh\/solopreneurs-will-rule-the-world-100-df0f8d2727f6#:~:text=MBO%20Partners'%20recent%20State%20of,content%20creators%20is%20over%20%24100%2C000.\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the desire to have more control over their lives (34.35%), to have a greater financial reward (22.58%), and to do something they are passionate about (22.01%).<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Authenticity_3E_Artificial\">Authenticity &gt; Artificial<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-202898\" src=\"https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2024\/01\/Authenticity-780x520.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"780\" height=\"520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2024\/01\/Authenticity-780x520.jpg 780w, https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2024\/01\/Authenticity-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2024\/01\/Authenticity.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While AI achieved world dominance last year, how the software is used will change drastically. The excitement of creating entirely new (but fake) worlds will finally wear off. Instead, people will use the tool as a way to enhance their very real pictures. The advancements that have been made in this type of editing are very impressive, and the shift of focus to improving real-life imagery will showcase this greatly. There will also be a larger number of images created with AI that reflect this realistic aesthetic. Creating fake cartoon-like worlds will be out and instead, there will be more and more creations in a photo-realistic style.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Back_to_Basics\">Back to Basics<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-202856\" src=\"https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2024\/01\/Return-to-Making-780x520.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"780\" height=\"520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2024\/01\/Return-to-Making-780x520.jpg 780w, https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2024\/01\/Return-to-Making-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2024\/01\/Return-to-Making.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With all the buzz around technology and its advancements, we think that people will really gravitate toward the more traditional forms of things like photography. This going back-to-basics move will incorporate the use of old-school mediums like film, polaroids, photography, etc. In fact, the search for the term \u201cvintage\u201d on Picsart increased by 20% in the last few months. This desire to work with and create tangible things through analog methods will make a huge comeback this year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"_Playful_Visuals\">\u00a0Playful Visuals\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-202835\" src=\"https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2024\/01\/Playful-780x520.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"780\" height=\"520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2024\/01\/Playful-780x520.jpg 780w, https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2024\/01\/Playful-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2024\/01\/Playful.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bright color palettes will continue to be embraced, and assets like fun stickers and font styles will continue to be used by many. Brands will also continue to create content in this chaotic and fun style. We also see the use of stickers booming on Picsart, <\/span><b>with 35 stickers used every second! <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This aesthetic helps to serve as a distraction from the slightly eerie and negative world that exists right now. So it\u2019s no wonder why it will continue to be at the forefront of design this year.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Subculture_Trends\">Subculture Trends<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-202877\" src=\"https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2024\/01\/Subculture_-Afrobeats-780x520.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"780\" height=\"520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2024\/01\/Subculture_-Afrobeats-780x520.jpg 780w, https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2024\/01\/Subculture_-Afrobeats-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2024\/01\/Subculture_-Afrobeats.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aesthetics are moving from trends to real subcultures.

The eclectic mix of sounds has made a splash in the US on radio stations and social media. The VMAs added an Afrobeats category this year; \u201cCalm Down\u201d by Rema, featuring Selena Gomez, was one of the songs of the summer. Brands looking to music for marketing might want to pay attention.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And there you have it! As we dive into 2024, it&#8217;s clear that the design world is buzzing with fresh and exciting trends\u00a0 This year is all about making your unique mark, so let&#8217;s get creative and make 2024 the year of design.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/picsart.com\/editing-tools\"><b><i>Empowering the Creator in Everyone<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><i>Picsart is the world\u2019s largest digital creation platform.
