UX has long seen strict rules that focus on one thing above all. Usability. Apps and web development that push ease of use, understanding, and as long a screen time as possible. In 2022, anti-designers are saying F*** that.

Anti-design means challenging standard practices. Breaking rules of colour theory, symmetry, composition, and typography. As many industries within the last few years have challenged standards of aesthetics and beauty, it's about time design does too. Will your brand add a rebellious streak to it this year?

The last few years have resulted in people taking their lives further into the digital space. As we're living online, we've found ourselves in a global space that requires new ways to express ourselves across cultures, generations and more. In 2022, designers will take this and run with it via expressive and experimental typography.

Blending letter styles, abstraction, pushing bounds of legibility, adding personal touches... what else may we see in 2022?

Design and aesthetics are cyclical. It is continually revisiting, borrowing and reimagining.

That brings us to 2022 design trend 01. The 1990's revival.

The '90s have returned. Nostalgia is a soft spot for people, whether it's the 80's in shows like , or the '90s in design.

The reemergence of the '90s in design is bringing back cultural artifacts from the time. We're seeing rough and gruff textures from grunge culture. Bright colours, Memphis patterns and simple emojis reflect the MTV pop mainstream of the time. And dark + neon spaces that ode to rave culture, 90's VR and retrofuturism.

What 1990's culture are you a fan of most?

Today marks the 12th annual day. This day is especially important as we enter our third year of a global pandemic that has taken a major toll on our collective mental health. 🧠

For every text message and social media interaction made with the hashtag , Bell Media has pledged to donate 5 cents to mental health initiatives in Canada. Last year, more than 159.17 million messages and interactions were made, with Bell donating roughly $7.96 million towards these initiatives. It is impossible to dispute the reach of the Bell Let’s Talk campaign. However, in these conversations, it is also important to be critical.

about the hyper-stigmatized conditions such as schizophrenia and borderline personality disorder that are largely left out of the conversation altogether.

about inequality and intersectionality and the ways in which mental health and other socioeconomic factors work together.

about the ways in which companies profit off of this campaign, pedalling wellness products under the guise of social justice.

This is not to discredit the important work that Bell Media has done — it is only to say that the work is far from over, there is always room for improvement, and that constructive conversations cannot come with critique.

about how far we’ve come, and what’s left to be done. 🗣

⚡️⚡️⚡️ users spend 4.9 min per session on the platform. For comparison, the average session time on FB is 4.7 minutes, IG is 3.1 minutes (almost a full two minutes less), and Snapchat barely registers at 1.6 minutes. We all know TikTok is addictive, but these numbers further prove how good the algorithm and seemingly never-ending feed of relevant content is.⚡️⚡️⚡️
