Undoubtedly, 2021 was a complex and uncertain year for e-commerce and many areas of our life. You don’t need to be an expert to understand this. Fortunately, forecasts for 2022 are more optimistic, including the design area. The abundance of styles will only expand, so most freelancers don’t have to mess around.

This means that we will find many alternatives for the introduction of creativity. It’s time for bold designs – more optimism, colours, madness! Also, good graphic trends are predicted for minimalistic graphics, simple layouts, and neutral colours. If people combine all such techniques, they will undoubtedly create effective promo materials.

Scandi Ethnic, Nordic Boho, Nordic Folklore, Scandi Boho. You probably heard of one of these, but what does it stand for? Scandinavian (Scandi) decor is all about neutrals, minimalism, earthy tones and clean lines. While Bohemian (Boho), on the other hand, is all about bright colours, lively patterns and maximalism. It first came to prominence in the 1950s, around the same time as modern style took hold in America and Europe. Part of what makes it so aesthetically pleasing is its lack of clutter.
