In 2020, isometric graphic design evolves into a fully animated and super engaging visual motion. Isometric design keeps evolving to a point where it looks like an actual 3D which moves and plays with the audience.
It seems that in 2020, we will be experiencing a blast from the past. By using earthy colors and hand-drawn ink illustrations, web and graphic designers are creating compositions that convey the home-feeling of the 50s’ designs.
