// DESIGN TREND - GEOMETRIC PATTERNS //
Geometric patterns applied in the digital illustration are one of the biggest upcoming trends. From soft and round forms to sharp beauty of strict mathematical shapes, geometry will reveal itself in the variety of textures and grids.
Likely, this trend will be implemented not only in illustration but in other areas of design, including web design, packaging design, branding design, etc.

// COMMERCIAL ART TREND - MUTED COLORS //
Muted color palettes are dominating the design trends right now and likely will into 2021. Muted colors feel safe and secure, and even nostalgic. They also feel natural and organic which is why you see many health and wellness brands subduing their color schemes on their packaging and advertising right now.

“Sixty years ago, Ruth Bader Ginsburg applied to be a Supreme Court clerk. She’d studied at two of our finest law schools and had ringing recommendations. But because she was a woman, she was rejected. Ten years later, she sent her first brief to the Supreme Court––which led it to strike down a state law based on gender discrimination for the first time. And then, for nearly three decades, as the second woman ever to sit on the highest court in the land, she was a warrior for gender equality––someone who believed that equal justice under law only had meaning if it applied to every single American.
Over a long career on both sides of the bench––as a relentless litigator and an incisive jurist––Justice Ginsburg helped us see that discrimination on the basis of sex isn’t about an abstract ideal of equality; that it doesn’t only harm women; that it has real consequences for all of us. It’s about who we are––and who we can be.
Justice Ginsburg inspired the generations who followed her, from the tiniest trick-or-treaters to law students burning the midnight oil to the most powerful leaders in the land. Michelle and I admired her greatly, we’re profoundly thankful for the legacy she left this country, and we offer our gratitude and our condolences to her children and grandchildren tonight.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg fought to the end, through her cancer, with unwavering faith in our democracy and its ideals. That’s how we remember her. But she also left instructions for how she wanted her legacy to be honored.
Four and a half years ago, when Republicans refused to hold a hearing or an up-or-down vote on Merrick Garland, they invented the principle that the Senate shouldn’t fill an open seat on the Supreme Court before a new president was sworn in.
A basic principle of the law––and of everyday fairness––is that we apply rules with consistency, and not based on what’s convenient or advantageous in the moment. The rule of law, the legitimacy of our courts, the fundamental workings of our democracy all depend on that basic principle. As votes are already being cast in this election, Republican Senators are now called to apply that standard. The questions before the Court now and in the coming years––with decisions that will determine whether or not our economy is fair, our society is just, women are treated equally, our planet survives, and our democracy endures––are too consequential to future generations for courts to be filled through anything less than an unimpeachable process.” - President Barack Obama

// DESIGN TREND - GEOMETRIC MOTIFS //
Geometry doesn’t lose its positions in the illustration trends: a variety of styles and approaches feature geometric motifs. With deep roots in academic drawing, geometric shapes of all kinds fill the digital artworks with abstract vibes, solidify compositions, and add visual harmony.

// ILLUSTRATION TREND FOR 2020 - GEOMETRIC //]
In art school, they teach students to start with a skeleton, break things into simple geometric shapes and work your way up. Geometric illustrations are a manifestation of a world broken down into simple shapes like circles, squares, triangles etc. With the right use of colors and compositions, geometric illustrations can be used to create striking visuals that are both simple and elegant.

Happy Labor Day from the Inkyverse team to you!
Kerry James Marshall and Jordan Casteel are the latest to people to join a storied list of artists—including Salvador Dalí, Giorgio de Chirico, and John Currin—that have been invited to create covers for the vaunted September issue of Vogue. According to the magazine, the celebrated portraitists were given total creative freedom in the choice of cover star, real or imaginary, as long as the subject was painted wearing one of four couture outfits selected by the Vogue team. Each artist was also asked to use “hope” as a creative starting point.
Kerry James Marshall, who had a lauded retrospective at the Met Breuer in 2016, decided to create a fictional scene. In his cover, a Black woman wears a white formal evening dress by Off-White. High-rise buildings are visible in the window behind her, creating the impression that she is in a penthouse apartment. The figure resists the viewer’s gaze, looking instead outside the frame.
“I’m trying to build into her expression that she’s not dependent on the gaze of the spectator,” Marshall told Vogue. “‘I’m here and you can see me, but I’m not here for you.’ That’s a critical element. The great word, ultimately, is going to be ‘self-possessed.’ That’s what I’m aiming for.”
For her cover, Casteel featured the designer and activist Aurora James. She is depicted on the rooftop of her Brooklyn apartment building, draped in a flowing blue silk gown from Pyer Moss. She is framed by the cityscape, but Casteel painted James gazing more directly at the viewer.
Casteel, who is currently the subject of a New Museum solo show, told Vogue, “What’s most exciting to me is being given artistic integrity and being able to choose the person to be my sitter—someone who reflects a portion of my own identity—and then to do that truly in the medium of my choice. This is the way that I speak to the world.”
The two Vogue covers were revealed a day after Vanity Fair unveiled its own September cover featuring a portrait of Breonna Taylor by painter Amy Sherald.
