Fjord Trends 2020

Design and art direction for the Fjord Trends 2020 report, highlighting trends and predictions for technology, business, society, and design.

2019 | Key expertise: Design for print and digital, art direction, creative concepts, tone of voice development

This years’ trend report from Fjord/Accenture manifests ideas around realigning the fundamentals: our impact on the world, changing priorities, times of activism and the power for positive change.

The design direction is intrinsically linked to the active nature of its content: Dadaesque, protest inspired illustrations, bespoke typographic nuances, carbon-balanced paper stock and digital content ready to be explored.

Fjord Trends 2020 sees the current state as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to innovate business models, services and products.

Visual identity
Each trend report is given a bespoke identity, including logo design, adjustable colour palettes, and a corresponding style guide to make sure all assets are in line with the main branding.
