Ecstatic Colors
Bold colors are proven to help your product stand out in stores. If you notice that many brands within your sector are following this idea of using bright colors, you may have to take it one step further. Ecstatic colors are highly saturated and use neon to appear playful and confident. This trend can be seen frequently in drink packaging.
Typographic Scrawl
Typography has always played a crucial role in package design. However, a new trend is emerging within typography displayed on packaging design. Hand lettering that looks casual and unkept is beginning to become more and more popular. This typography choice makes the product seem casual and down to earth compared to the large, well-known brands. Choosing a casual typeface will immediately make your product feel homemade and down to earth.
