Welcome to the second edition<\/a> of the PicsArt Creative Trends Report \u2014 the industry\u2019s first and only look into the popular and emerging trends in photo-sharing, based on the collective edits of more than 70 million people from around the globe. <\/span><\/p>\n

This summer, the images people are sharing show a shift towards playfulness and self-transformation… Which makes sense as this is the unofficial season of fun and reinvention. <\/span><\/p>\n

Below are the top creative techniques people are using to transform themselves and the fastest rising and most popular photo effects of season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Top Creative Trends<\/span><\/h1>\n

One of the hottest trends this summer is what we\u2019ve deemed<\/a> #mermaidlife<\/a>, where people are finding their inner sea gods and goddesses by turning themselves into mermaids (and mermen!), complete with shimmering scales \u2014 talk about the ultimate #summergoals.<\/p>\n

\"TopDotted lines<\/span><\/a> are also now a thing. We love this modern day paper doll trend because the possibilities are endless <\/span>\u2014<\/span> choose your image, focal point, and experiment with different colors and patterns until you get a look that\u2019s uniquely yours.<\/span><\/p>\n

Regardless of our true astrological sign, we all have a little Gemini in us. What better way to express your dual nature than using the <\/span>reflection technique<\/span><\/a> to create two of you\u2026. And people around the world agree. We\u2019re seeing reflection portraits pop up everywhere. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Grime Art<\/span><\/a> is a creepy crawly trend that\u2019s making a big splash and we\u2019re huge fans. It\u2019s the ultimate Anti-Selfie. Ugly-on-purpose cool meets zombie comic book. We dare you to try it on yourself or get <\/span>creative with famous works of art<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fastest Rising Photo Effects<\/span><\/h1>\n

That\u2019s hot! Below is a snapshot of the fastest growing photo effects. Some of them, like Suntan, are pretty self-explanatory, the effect of which is like getting the telltale golden glow of an island getaway without the risk of melanoma.<\/p>\n

\"Fast\"B&W is also on the rise, and it\u2019s no surprise \u2014 black and white photos are both classic and modern, minimal and powerful. They say more with less, allowing the eye to focus on the details of the image without getting saturated with color.<\/p>\n

Motion Blur and Swirled both create the effect of motion, and we\u2019re noticing the effect being applied to evoke feelings of speed, or dizziness, and accentuate the action of your action shots.<\/p>\n

Most Popular Photo Effects<\/span><\/h1>\n

Since our last creative trends report, we\u2019re seeing some consistency among the overall most-used photo effects \u2014 you\u2019re still loving HDR 1 to give your photos that professional, DSLR-grade, crisp clarity. The Cinerama effect is also still one of the most popular effects, and for good reason \u2014 \u00a0it baths your snaps in that slightly faded, nostalgic beauty of old movies.<\/p>\n

Similar effects that continue to be popular are Dodger and Light Cross \u2014 naturalistic filters that make your photos look just a little bit warmer, crisper, and emotive.<\/p>\n

New to the most popular party is Blemish fix, and we can certainly see why: who wouldn\u2019t want a little helping hand when your skin decides to throw a temper tantrum right before that group photo? (Happens to the best of us).<\/p>\n

\"Popular\"This concludes this installment of our creative trends report. Thank you for continuing to make amazing images that truly knock our socks off, and for making PicsArt has the coolest, boldest, most supportive online community out there. Stay tuned for our next report, and until then, keep \u2018em coming!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
