Hi there! I get more enthralled with the speed our sector moves every year. The design scene is always changing, thus we have to be on top of what’s next if we wish our work to be fresh. Let us thus discuss my three strongest trends for 2025: experimental typography, bento grids, and generative design.
1. Generative Design:
Why It’s Here to Stay Driven by neural networks, generative design—which takes front stage in 2024—showcases no slowing down tendencies. Artificial intelligence-generated images are proving to be a creative (and let’s face it, far more fascinating) substitute for conventional stock visuals. I find it amazing how these neural network tools can create 3D images, process and animate still photos, and even manage audio work. It’s like having on hand an additional “designer’s assistant.”
3D design from artificial intelligence is poised to level out much more as we enter 2025. Tools like SORA will enable more people to access these strong abilities, so opening many new directions for artistic experimentation and automation. Low-quality artificial intelligence art is already under fire, though; nobody wants something that seems generic or unfinished. Standard outputs now are premium, polished ones.
Instruments I suggest:
Perfect for building animations and video effects is Runway ML.
DALL-E creates excellent images from text cues.
Kaedim: Talks about a time-saver—turns your 2D sketches into 3D models!
Soundraw is artificial intelligence-driven audio creation meant to inspire projects creatively.
2. Benton Grids
The Revised Layout Aim: Go-To Inspired by those orderly packed Japanese lunchboxes, where everything has its own little compartment, Bento grids Apple’s product pages first drew me in with this layout style, which then permeated all kinds of fields—from graphic design to banking interfaces in Russia.
Bento grids allow me personally to easily arrange items into neat, aesthetically pleasing blocks. For responsive design—a need these days—they are also quite flexible.
Where You’ll Find Them:

Apple’s marketing page features essentially bento grid action on their iPhone and MacBook.
Popular design systems including Material Design and Ant Design sometimes feature bento-style layouts.
Online banking platforms help to improve accessibility and create simple dashboards—very important for complicated financial data.
3. Experimental Typography
Breaking the Rules (in a Positive Manageable Way): Experimental typeography is the one trend still very strong. Designers are truly stretching the possibilities with how text is shown—think bold display fonts, dynamic layouts, and creative use of variable fonts (where you can instantly change weight, width, and slant).
The distorted and deconstructed letterforms that provide branding a more artistic, almost abstract feel particularly appeal to me. From web interfaces to logos, these lighthearted type treatments give everything character.
Highlights Examples:
Wix Playground: Notable for their design examples’ bold typeface choices.
Modern Logos: Companies like Zalando and Chobani lean into type-based logos with unusual distortion and spacing.
Some websites, including Pentagram’s projects, use kinetic type that responds to user interactions—so interesting and fun!

These trends provide us so many ways to experiment and develop as creatives, from using AI for generative design to bento grid organization of your layouts to pushing typeographic limitations. For me, it’s exciting to see how designers will mix these techniques—and what unanticipated concepts might surface next.
Thus, let’s keep investigating, experimenting, and stretching the boundaries of what design can be to reach 2025!
