3-AI-enhanced design practices are creeping in everywhere
CreativeBoom -Teams is the biggest design trend 1-Subscription-based agency work
Our first two trends aren't about a particular visual style or graphic design technique but a more fundamental innovation in how agencies do business. Nick Pattison of Primary sets the scene.
"Right now, we're living in a rapidly changing sector, with many designers still working from home and others opening up side practices or small studios. At the same time, design tools and the advent of AI are accelerating the speed with which these designers can create, communicate, and deliver. "Clients expect increasingly more in less time, and designers are seeking new ways to service these clients while generating more regular, predictable income," he continues. "Consequently, productization, where designers have simple price packages around fixed deliverables, is on the rise."
